I wouldn’t call myself a Trekkie, and while I absolutely respect the Star Trek universe, I would simply classify myself a minor fan. That was until I saw
Star Trek Into Darkness. WOW!!! This movie is beyond the greatness it so effortlessly tries to be. There is no doubt Star Trek fans and non-fans alike will find J.J. Abrams sequel a glorious return to the Enterprise. This auctioned-packed Blockbuster is a sexy, funny, thrilling Rock N Roll version of the 1960’s television series that returns to its original roots adding style, humor and one killer villain who puts the rest of the world's villains to shame. This movie definitely tops its predecessor and boldly goes where… we have of course gone before, but who cares.


Into Darkness beamed in more than $164.5M opening weekend (worldwide). And even though this amount is surprisingly low for a movie of this stature, it has strong lasting power and because of that it is bound to roll in even more hot money at the box office as the weeks ensue. Seeing this film on the gigantic IMAX screen was absolutely exhilarating, and on top everything else the 3D effects were a-may-zing! I found myself jumping and dodging the images at times. Don't think I've ever had this much fun watching a movie. I strongly recommend seeing it in IMAX/3D at least once.
This movie is everything a Summer Blockbuster should be and more. It's full of life, wit, smarts, intense thrills and sheer gratifying entertainment. Not only did it seriously blow my collected mind to pieces, but it met every high expectation I had. I was surprised at the enormous amount of heart and soul this movie had as well. There were some very touching scenes that caused me to tear up a bit. In closing, if you’re a fan of Star Trek on any level this Sequel will have you wrapped around its Sci-Fi finger by the end of the movie, leaving you smiling and wanting more.
RATING: A
