This sequel from the first installment Star Trek 4 years ago really made me crazy, crazy in love for sure. It's a nice chance for me to watch such an incredible movie. 'Star Trek Into Darkness' really follows the massive successfulness of 2009 film Star Trek.

a brief storyline

After a massacre at Starfleet which later found that the culprit is a member of Starfleet, John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch), Captain James Kirk (Chris Pine) & Spock (Zachary Quinto) are sent to destroy the villain at Klingon planet. Together with Kirk's crew, they flew to Klingon planet eventhough their presence could set-off a war. In the end, could Kirk, Spock and other crews defeat the villain?


a fair review (contains spoiler)

From the beginning of the movie, when Kirk and Bones escape from the primitive planet, then Spock successfully survives in the deep of volcanic mountain, the movie already provide its eminence. It's really a wonderful fast scene. After that, the plot is more entertaining and thrilling. So exciting to see what will happen next in an iconic outer-space area and what all crew will do in such a cool space aircraft.



It is my first time to like all the characters, even its villain. All casts are superb. Chris Pine as Captain James Kirk is such a hot swag captain that I would want to work to. Zachary Quinto as Spock who worships the rules made me amaze too. I like Spock character, I don't know why but when him and Kirk are debating, it's really fun to watch them, even me laughing. Maybe it's because Spock's half vulcan-half human heart.

Other casts are doing a great job too, like Karl Urban as Bones, Jon Cho as Sulu, Anton Yelchin as Chekov and Simon Pegg as Scotty. They have their own characters and portrays it so well. Oh, and I don't forget to mention Zoe Saldana as Uhura and Alice Eve as Carol Marcus. See? I remember all the characters well since it's my first time watching Star Trek. I couldn't say anymore, they are so great, it looks like an honour if you can run as one of Enterprise crew like them. They are so cool and much bring the character so lively. You know, the balance of their appearence are well maintained.

Last, Benedict Cumberbatch as John Harrison or Khan is having more than enough criteria to be a great villain. His deep voice makes me stunned. It's really a brilliant idea to have Benedict as Khan.

I think I love all the scenes in this movie. Maybe my fav will be when Kirk and Spock take their hand gestures together and all scenes that raises Spock's vulcan emotion to be a half human. Eventhough some dialogues are hard to understand ( it's so fast actually when Spock talks ), but I really enjoy the movie well. The spacelight, the explosions, the Trek techy things, and the outer-space thingy are really entertaining and satisfying.


a brief closure

You don't need to watch the first Star Trek, but it will be great if you have watched that. Some says 2009 Star Trek is greater than this movie. I haven't watched it but I will. Star Trek Into Darkness is really a great piece of entertainment even to a non Star Trek fan like me. Kudos to J.J Abrams. Must-Watch movie.
