My husband and I went to see the new movie Star Trek Into The Darkness about a week after it was released. This movie was comprised of much of the same actors from the 2009 Star Trek movie.  It had been quite a while since watching the 2009 movie so we rented that movie from iTunes the night before as a refresher.  I must say, I am very happy we did that. It really did help re-establish this young crew in my mind and it also allowed us to see how in the new 2013 movie, they allowed the characters to mature.

I loved the interaction between Captain Kirk and Spock in the Star Trek Into The Darkness movie.  Bones and Scotty were great too. The young Uhura is very pretty but I don’t see her as a very strong character. Chekov seemed a bit quirky. I do think that Sulu did a pretty good job in the movie as well. I think they kept true to the franchise with their story and characters. The actor who played the villain in this movie, Benedict Cumberbatch did a fine job. To prevent from giving a spoiler here, I will say, I was a little disappointed as who this character was suppose to be, I would have preferred a new character.

Chris Pine plays Captain Kirk and he is wonderful, cocky and brave and has amazing blue eyes. Zachary Quinto plays Spock and he looks so good he could be Leonard Nimoy’s son….but of course he isn’t. He is playing a young Leonard Nimoy – Spock.

There is plenty of action and special effects in this movie. Sometimes you may notice a slight bit of the old Star Trek music during actions scenes reminiscent of the old TV shows yet modernized. I wish they had included more aliens in the movie, that would have been nice.

All in all it was a very entertaining movie. The beginning was a little slow in a few spots as they were developing the characters and what was happening, but I didn’t mind that, my husband was a little impatient. If you enjoy Star Trek and want to have a fun adventure, I think you will enjoy this movie.

Here are a couple trailers:

Another trailer, just slightly different.
