Star Trek Into Darkness
It wasn't what I expected, but in a good way. Usually you can watch a movie's trailer and have some sort of clue as to what is going to happen in the that movie. But after watching this movie's trailer and then seeing the movie itself, I can say that the trailer didn't give anything away and that made the movie that much better. Other than that the whole cast was coming back (plus the addition of the hottie in her underwear up there) and that the awesomely named Benedict Cumberbatch was playing a murdering terrorist, the trailer did a great job of not revealing anything about the plot of this movie. Good job on that, Star Trek people.
Next up, the special effects were amazing and it seemed that they toned down that annoying glare thing a bit in this one, but it was still there. The movie had a good pace to it and had only one or two slow parts to it, but those still included enough humor in them to not notice it being slow. I really don't want to give anything away, so going into any depth with this movie would only ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet and that is all I'm going to say about the movie itself.
The cast they have assembled for this movie does an incredible job considering they have to play characters that we already know and love. Chris Pine plays his own version of Captain Kirk and yet you do see a couple times where he plays the part like Shatner did (on a side note, Chris Pine will be playing Jack Ryan in the upcoming movie of the same name and with that part, he might take the mantle of America's Top Action Star which America so desperately needs). Zachary Quinto does a great job as the emotionless Spock. Benedict Cumberbatch was fucking amazing as the villain who was likable even though he killed a lot of people and I see great things for this guy in the future (side note - he will be voicing the dragon Smaug in next The Hobbit movie and he also plays Sherlock Holmes in a series with Martin Freeman who plays his Doctor Watson, Freeman also plays Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, fun fact right?). Simon Pegg was his usual funny self as Scotty, but the funniest person in the movie was Karl Urban as Bones which is surprising considering his resume up this point includes playing a badass warrior prince in The Lord of the Rings, the badass Russian assassin in the second Bourne movie, and Judge Dredd in Dredd. Every line out of his mouth was pure gold. Also, the addition of the gorgeous Alice Eve was a nice touch and Peter Weller (aka Robocop) had a great role as the head of Starfleet.
In conclusion, I suggest you go see it. I thought it was slightly better than Iron Man 3 and on par with the first movie of this new series.
Fart Rating (out of 5): 4.25 Farts
