Out of respect for those who haven’t seen the movie yet, I won’t give a lot of it away.
I saw this movie last Saturday, and it was great! This movie continued to show wonderful the Star Trek franchise is. Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, War Horse, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) did a wonderful, and frightening job as the villain much like Eric Bana did as Nero in 2009’s prequel. Earlier this week, Director J.J. Abrams appeared on Conan, and as he talked about the movie, he mentioned that there were some people who complained about one scene where Captain Kirk sees Doctor Carol Marcus in her lingerie. He defended it by saying that’s Captain Kirk (What did anyone expect?). One of the movie’s surprises was the appearance of Peter Weller (Robocop, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, Naked Lunch, Screamers)!
The movie, much like the prequel, continues to pay tribute to the many past moments of the franchise. And with that, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! You’ll be glad you did!!!
Star Trek Into Darkness is rated PG-13.
