I went to see Star Trek: Into Darkness last Thursday, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Before you read on, I will likely provide spoilers, although I will try to avoid discussing certain things that happen. You were warned :p
Well, what to say. This movie tries to bring a more 'bridge-family' feel to the new genre of Star Trek, and I think it does it very well. With big challenges, some twists and some awesome acting and effects it brings a very different flavour than the first Star Trek movie.
I felt 'John Harrison' played by Benedict Cumberbatch was particularly epic. I thought it was going to be a bit wishy washy this one, and I have never been so glad to stand corrected. The plot is somewhat akin to Star Trek II with many crossovers, and a but tonne of references to the previous movies, but with many many changes which all but add to the levels of epicosity...
I had a fair idea of the plot before going to see the movie, but a mate of mine did not and lets just say the movie has a few elements of surprise - Harrison being one he was not expecting.
I am not too sure what I can say for this one without providing spoilers but Epic trailer, Epic movie, Epic score and Epic action :) If you have not seen it yet, get out and go see!!
