Review of Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) by J. Ash B — 20 Jun 2014
I have to say, after reading a number of the "top critics" saying that it was fun but missing "something", I have to wonder if we were watching different movies. The movie I saw was classic Star Trek adventure.
..morally stark characters put into morally ambiguous positions; a fantastically menacing and powerful adversary; an unfolding mystery; top shelf special effects; wistful references to previous shows (with one nice homage to Star Wars); genuinely emotional scenes that show that these characters really care about each other; and a roller coaster of ups, downs, twists and turns.
In all, a Grade A summer sci-fi blockbuster.
