Star Trek Into Darkness - Review
So...shall we begin?
This is the main reason why I love cinema, I've been a trekkie since I was a little boy and I've watched all Star Trek movies and almost all the TV episodes.... after saying that I have to confirm this one is my favourite from all of them!
While watching this masterpiece it is quite obvious that it will remember you to the second film "Warth of Khan" as there are many scenes that look almost the same but with some different arguments or places.
This is a year after the events from last film (Star Trek 2009), Kirk is still the captain of the USS Enterprise with is amazing crew...all of them come back for this adventure and most of them have more screen time than the last film, this are good news. But after saving a planet for its destruction, they have to come back to Earth to save it from a man called John Harrison who wants to destroy the entire Academy Fleet (I'm trying to not spoil anything important to the plot). After some amazing action scenes we learn that this man's real name is Khan.
While I was at the cinema watching this film, a person said "OMFG!" when the main villian says "My real name is Khan". This film makes you feel everything the actors feel, the sadness, the laughs and even the horror...and that's quite difficult to make, it's not only the amazing acting but also the music and camera positions and effects.
The special effect and action scenes are many and amazingly well done (better than the last one, and that was hard to top!) and it's good to see the Enterprise again and, this time fighting an times three bigger ship called USS Vengeance. But the best from the film is the acting, Chris Pine is a better and more believable Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto does an excellent job as Spock (he was a little cold at the last film, here's much better), the rest of the crew is amazing as Simong Pegg again as the funny Scotty. Alice Eve is a nice add to the family.
But if I had to choose the best actor from the movie it has to be Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan, he's the greatest actor from this generation and he even tops his acting as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC's show Sherlock...he makes a stronger and serious Khan which was a great change...he deserves an Oscar from that amazing and perfect perfomance!
You will like this film even if you're not a Star Trek fan as it has an interesting plot, an amazing villian and a cast of actors that can even top the original ones!
· BEST - Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan is amazing plus the entire casting, plot and action scenes are very enjoyable!
· WORST - I wanted to see more of Khan's past and maybe a longer film!
1. Star Trek Into Darkness (9.5)
2. Iron Man 3 (8.7)

Benedict does an excellent and sinister Khan this time! |
