Star Trek Into Darkness

This is an action movie, plain and simple. The 1960’s social commentary is all but gone except for a few mentions of super-soldiers and an arms race. I was slightly disappointed by the end because the filmmakers recall too much of the old Star Trek legacy. It’s more of a rehash, rather than a reboot. (In fact, it might compel me to look back at some of the old episodes.) But it’s exciting! Scene by scene, minute by minute, it’s never anything but completely fun and engrossing. For future sequels, here’s hoping producers and filmmakers come up with a new, original story for the intrepid cast.
