Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Benedict Cumberbatch, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Greenwood, Peter Weller, Alice Eve. Written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, & Damon Lindelof. Directed by J.J. Abrams. Rated PG-13. Now in theaters.
Star Trek Into Darkness continues the adventures of the crew of the USS Enterprise as they face their most dangerous assignment yet: capturing one very dangerous man. Star Trek Into Darkness is the second in the rebooted Star Trek film series and it is once again directed by J.J. Abrams, arguably the most popular director of big budget Sci-Fi films of the moment (though Joss Whedon is probably a close second).
Into Darkness is a worthy successor to the first of Abrams' Star Trek films. There is more action in this one than the other and the action scenes are amazing. It has a very fun, but pretty predictable, plot. None of the "twists" that this movie had were all that surprising, but it was still very entertaining. And that's all I really want out of a big budget action movie. I just want it to be entertaining.
One thing that Abrams continues to do well in this film is to develop his characters and their relationships. Abrams is quite talented on focusing on characters amid all of the action scenes. This movie was very good and very entertaining.
What I keep thinking during the movie was "I can't wait to see what Abrams does with Star Wars."
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
