Star Trek Into Darkness

I finally got around to watching the newest Star Trek film Into Darkness, and it was pretty good.
I'm not going to say it's the best movie I've ever seen, and frankly, I'm not much of a fan of the Star Trek series, but something about the sincere nature of the film to the lore surrounding the Star Trek franchise, or what little I know of it, makes this film quite a marvel.

The new Star Trek films are set in an alternate reality, and do not at all dismiss the original Star Trek series. Leonard Nimroy still appears as Spock Prime, from the original series, who was taken to the alternate universe of the current series in Star Trek (2009), and he is a fine cameo.

Definitely the highlight of the film was Benedict Cumberbatch's character of 'Khan' an extremely powerful member of an almost extinct species of semi-humans, who is out for revenge against, well, everyone. I haven't seen Khan's original appearance in Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan' but it is referenced, and not overlooked, which is easy to appreciate.

I guess the only problem with the movie is that it's an action movie, when it should be a Star Trek movie first. Sure there's the characters and the science, but there's a lot more 'pew pew' than what little I've seen from the series.

Anyway, Star Trek Into Darkness is good. So there.
