"Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)",

The second Star Trek Movie From director JJ Abrahams, and written by Roberto Orci & Damon Lindelhof, Alex Kurtz. has hit the big screen. where as a long time trek fan, i definetly had this movie on my "to see", list this summer, before breaking into a more detailed review, let me just say i definetly enjoyed this movie very much.

For now let me just start with the movie, As Opposed to some people who reviewed this movie as an Action roller coaster, which had action scenes non stop. I find the action thoroloughy well structured, and narrative to the story, As Opposed to movies like transformers and its sequels which left me wondering what had just happened on the big screen in front of me. Sorry (Michael bay) But your story telling sucks. back tot where we where with this review, As the action is fast paced, its Imperative to the way Abrahams sets this universe. The downside is that for hardcore trekkers such as myself, It leaves little space for these hardcore Sci-Fi Drama, and character moments we come to love in Classic trek, Abrahams however managed to retain some of these elements in the Movie. The Cast was thorolougy enjoyable in this Movie, The Choice of Cumberbatch as Khan, wouldnt have been my first choice. But Cumberbatch manages to make a impressive role out of the character Khan. It however bleaches from the role that previously was played bij Ricardo Montalban. Both portrayals of these Characters should however, been seeing contemperay to their respective time periods.

The Story itself however does manage to Carry a larger underlying political sociaal message,
As the tittle "Into Darkness", leaves some people wondering? For me it represent The darkness of Subversion from Within. Als Kahn and some events of what happened can be compared to as post 9/11 events. And current issues of laws being changed to spy on People, Some people compare Khan to A Terrorist like bin Laden in this movie. I however retain that Khan while hey plays a villainous Role, Was not without Heart. And the Real Villain is the one that comes from within.

Whilst having reviewed this movie i can definelty say i enjoyed it very much, If Your looking for Real Classic Trek im sorry to say "This Isnt Your Daddy's Star Trek.
