I have to admit, I really like this whole Star Trek re-boot series. The latest installment of this prequel series Star Trek Into Darkness, is very good movie making.
In fact, I am enjoying this series way more than either of the others that have been landing in theaters for 30 years now. This series takes us back to Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Scotty, Bones and the rest of the crew before the TV series and early movie characters. This series is well thought out, well written and really produced in top-notch fashion.
The same cast is back from the first one of this series, and a few others are introduced here. Without giving away too much, this has the crew of the Starship Enterprise meeting up with some old foes, and enemies. And if you are a real Trekkie, this is actually the first time they meet up with them as this takes place before all the rest.
This is everything that is really good about summer action movie making. This is exciting, and fun, and not over the top. I loved the first one, and this is just as good if not better. I am not a gigantic Si-Fi fan, but the one thing I have always loved about the entire Star Trek franchise, is that they do a great job of remembering that even though this takes place 100's of years in our future, the characters still share the same frailties humans face today. That is the separator for me.
Wonderful character development, and a great story. What a wonderful combination for any movie at any time, let alone for a summer action movie. Amazing effects that look very believable, a fantastic musical score, and command performances by all of our actors and this really sings. It is set up for more to come and I'm good with that. I like everything about this movie. Great writing, casting performances, and final production and decision making.
Star Trek Into Darkness. Extremely good.
