North America Theatrical Release Poster:



Can I haz the villain win, pleez? Too cool to lose. That voice...

Watching Friday night... can't wait. One of the most awaited film's this year.

The best film of 2013 thus far. It beats the crap out of "Iron Man 3" in terms of sheer satisfaction and a story that is simple yet when 'inspected', reveals multiple layers of goodies. J.J. Abrams is a master of sheer fun and he has managed to make Star Trek very approachable to anyone (2009's "Star Trek" was incredible).

The thing that stood out the most for me - - the acting + the emotion. I did not expect either one to be the highlight of this film.

The villain is not as intimidating as I thought, because well, you'll understand when you watch the film. Scary, but not the way you would have expected. "Harrison" brings sheer brute force and seems like an unstoppable machine, but plenty of surprises awaits. I am more amazed of his villainous voice more than anything.

The pacing is tremendous. From the opening first few minutes to what seem like a good point to end the film, but then it punches another notch and takes you further. I loved it. More than 2 hours of pure sweetness.

Should I mention about the visual effects? Astonishing.

Should I mention about the sound effects? Amazing.

From the monstrous chases to the epic crashes, from pew pew laser sounds to pulsating sounds, the 'technical' aspect of "Into Darkness" is a real winner.

Nothing much to complain about the film. The 'emotional' aspect definitely got me. Spock / Kirk - - the duo that just makes this film super special.

Plenty of eye candy (Carol Marcus) and of course Uhura. Funnyman Simon Pegg also worth mentioning.

Overall, this is one unmissable film for the year. If you loved 2009's "Star Trek", you will absolutely love this one. In terms of which was better, I think it is a real challenge to top the first film. The first film established a lot of fresh new faces of familiar Star Trek characters, and fans really embraced it. The whole 'modernization' of Star Trek in the first film made it feel like a 'one-time' wonder. "Into Darkness" is still amazing, just about 0.5 notch less than the first film. It's still an unmissable film!

9/10

*Spot on choice of hiring J.J. for Episode VII!

Too bad I didn't watch it in 3D. I heard the 3D is tremendously good.

Edit: What the eff was with the cuts? Kinda mad about it... During dialogue scenes too?? I mean WTH? I didn't know this was happening... we didn't get to see Alice Eve's goodies but that's understandable...ish. We did see brief Kirk + two gals in bed, oh so that's ok? Now I'm wondering if there were indeed questionable content that the 9-minute preview did not pass censorship last year.

"I will walk over your cold corpses"

Again, his voice

"Now, shall we begin"

Lol, the somewhat latest trend with Hollywood movie studios... taking directors of a 'different' genre to do something else (e.g. James Wan of the horror genre to do 'Fast and Furios', Colin Treverow of comedy/drama to do 'Jurassic World').

It can go both ways; a unique approach or an absolute miss.

What the...
