Movie Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

With all of the angry insistance of "you HAVE to see this!" that goes around in popular culture nowadays, it is always nice to see something that is more inviting than exclusive. So far, J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" has been great for old fans* while it also creates new ones.

Laying out the entire plot of "Star Trek Into Darkness" here would be of no use, as there are too many details that I am afraid I will give away. The opening scenes involve a chase by some indigenous people through a colorful forest that leads into the center of an active volcano. Now, movies don't tend to kill of their main characters before the opening credits, especially if that character is Spock (Zachary Quinto), but I was surprised to find out that that was not a simulation as I thought it would be.
