Film Review #24: Star Trek Into Darkness

     Star Trek Into Darkness is the sequel to 2009's excellent Star Trek "reboot". I was highly anticipating this sequel and I was not disappointed. It was visually stunning, thrilling and Benedict Cumberbatch killed it as the villain in the movie. It also payed homage to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, perhaps more than it should have though. A few key scenes in the movie are lifted from Wrath of Khan but with roles reversed but I can't say more than that without spoiling.

     It was definitely worth the wait but with J.J. Abrams now working on Star Wars Episode VII I wonder who will take over the reigns as director for the third film. In any case I hope it's good.
