Star Trek Into Darkness 2013


Star Trek Into Darkness     The USS Enterprise is sent deep into space to rescue an endangered indigenous species on planet Nibiru from an active volcanic eruption.  Spock is trapped in the center of the volcano and the Enterprise ignores orders not to be seen by the local people to rescue Spock.  This tactic almost gets Captain Kirk relieved from command and demoted to a cadet.  Starfleet HQ is attacked and Captain Pike is killed in the strike.  Kirk takes command and the Enterprise goes deep into the forbidden zone and the planet Klingon.  Starfleet and the Klingon army are hostile enough but they are being manipulated into a possible war.
      All the actors seem stiff as boards like they are acting and also trying to be different people based on the original characters at the same time.  The problems and dangers are more ridiculous than sinister.   Almost like a comedy and one that is not funny?  Why would you keep hitting and beating someone not bothered or injured by any of it?  3* (This movie is OK)

131 min, Sci-Fi & Fantasy directed by J.J. Abrams with Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Peter Weller.

Note:  Blockbuster 4*, imdb 7.9 out of 10, 87% critic 91% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
