Start Trek into darkness: movie review

Before going to see the Great Gatsby I wen to watch Star Trek into darkness and here is what I think about it. It's great and you should go watch it.

I am not a trekkie by far but this J.J. Abrams flavoured versions are really well made. There is no previous knowledge of Star Trek required as the trilogy is depicting a parallel reality to the one we've seen in the TV show. The actors casted for the main characters are brilliant as they do not try to over play a part that has already been made memorable by more experienced and versed actors than them, so I congratulate the casting team for picking Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto for the roles of Kirk and Spok respectively.

Star Trek into darkness is entertaining, well scripted and with really good special effects: a must for anyone who likes to see movies because it's fun. In this second episode of the trilogy the friendship between Spok and Kirk strengthens without any cheesy scene; also the balance of strengths and skills of those main characters start to create an explosive mix, that is ideal to trigger strong emotions, express quick wit and delight with spectacular scenes.

I particularly loved how the trailer sets you off a trail that is very different from the story you're going to see in the movie. So, if you haven't done so watch the first Star Trek by J.J. Abrams and then dive into the darkness. No parachutes needed: there is Kirk to save the day.
