" The enemy to be feared is in the Heart of all you cherish "

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2013)

This newest film called " Star Trek into Darkness " was written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and directed by J.J. Abrams. From the beginning, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock (Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto) are at odds with each other over Kirk's recent life and death decisions. In additions, Kirk is chastised by his commanding officer Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), now an Admiral. Just as Kirk is about to be relegated to a lessor status, Star Fleet H.Q. comes under attack by Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch) an old Nemesis which throws everything into a complete turmoil. As a result, the starship Enterprise and it's crew are placed on a collision course with the Klingon Empire which might end with all out war. Friendships are tested and so too is the Enterprise with it's special cargo brought aboard despite Scotty's objections which could prove disastrous for all concern. The film is incredibly filled with action scenes and much intrigue. Nearly all the characters are in conflict with each other as the director tries to mold the old with the new. Still the script calls for much action to keep this newest offering exciting right through Warp drive. Cast members like Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho and Anton Yelchin reprise their earlier roles. All in all this newest addition is an action packed sequel to Roddenberrys' original series and it lives up to his standards in every way. Recommended to all Star Trek fans. ****
