[film] Star Trek: Into Darkness

[inulro]

As I suspected, pretty pants. Definitely of the school of "keep the action going really fast, maybe nobody will notice we don't have a plot".

There's a nice bit in the middle where it slows down for some plot exposition and you think some substance may come out of this after all but - no.

The best thing about it is Benedict Cumberbatch, and Zachary Quinto's Spock is interesting. But otherwise - really poor.

This was one I went to see in the cinema when it came out for the very reason that I reckoned it would only be worth viewing if one had the big screen for the action and SFX (OK, and I'm just Trekkie enough to not want to skip it entirely ;-) By which I mean I'm by no means a dedicated Trekkie, but I have just enough attachment to the franchise to have been curious to see what they were going to do to it in the 'reboot')
