Review: Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)



Star Trek (2009) was one of my favourite movies that year. I loved it so much that I was waiting every day for its sequel to release. May 10 saw the release of a film that quickly got added to my all time best list. Star Trek Into Darkness is one hell of a ride...

J.J. Abrams. I don't have enough words to appreciate him. I never knew that character bonding could be a strong point to a movie of such huge stature. Star Trek Into Darkness could very well be termed as the epitome of an emotional/dramatic/action packed adventure.

Right from the first frame, there is action and there is hope for something better in the next frame. Never is a scene that disappoints. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are 2 such artistes who bare the weight of the movie. Every character is so well etched into the storyline that you love them all. Benedict Cumberbatch, the infamous Sherlock, plays anti-hero. If you'd watched his Sherlock, you would not have liked the fact that he was going to be the villain of this movie. But as you get in, he takes you on a totally different ride altogether.

Music by Michael Giacchino adds further value into the frame. His legendary Star Trek tune is what I'm humming while writing this review. I would love to watch the movie once again.

Some movies are solely made for IMAX 3D viewing and Star Trek is one of them. Watch it in the best possible quality available and you are sure to love it.

As a famous RJ says, it was an awesomatic of the movie experience. Will never forget this ride.

Rating: 4/5

Star Trek Into Darkness: Ultimate!

Fantastic movie. Leaves you "awe". The storyline, a twist of the first Star Trek movie is simply brilliant. After the Batman reboot ( Batman begins & The Dark Knight) , this is good reboot of the old franchise. JJA knows his job. The casting is perfect especially Cummerbatch . He fits in superbly. Anther feather in his cap after playing Sherlock Holmes in "Sherlock" TV series. Worth staying upto 0100 in the morning capping off a satisfying day brilliantly.
