Star Trek Into Darkness

PG-13
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldano, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin,
 Alice Eve and Benedict Cumberbatch,
Running Time: 2 Hours and 3 Minutes

Okay, so it's been four years (2009) since we last saw Captain James Tiberius Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and all of the rest of The USS Enterprise crew. It seems to me like it was well worth the wait! The crew is back in stellar form to boldly go where no man has gone before!
So this movie starts out on an alien red planet where a giant volcano is about to erupt. Captain Kirk and crew have to make a quick decision to escape or lose their lives! One small problem, Spock is not on the ship with them and if they leave without him, he will die! As Kirk begs and pleads for him to come aboard via (beam me up Scotty) Spock is stubborn, devoid of emotion and indecisive!
Then a somewhat terrorist-style attack takes place in London, rocking the security of the entire planet earth! Trying to figure out who the culprit is and what their deviant plan is, the Enterprise heads into Klingon territory and all heck breaks loose! That is where they encounter the villain "Khan"!!! He appears as any other normal human being but, he is not! He is evil, diabolical and very, very sinister! He is not phased by any kind of physical pain whatsoever, he is virtually indestructible! When Captain Kirk beats him severely, he doesn't even whence, not a single sign of pain or any damage to his body.
This was such a fun and entertaining movie, it basically pits the good guys against the bad guys. With all of the amazing sci-fi action and the great storyline, I don't think you will be disappointed.
Parents be advised, I would recommend this movie for children twelve and over, there is a lot of sci-fi action and violence, explosions, Khan breaking peoples necks, an unexpected woman in her underwear, two women momentarily in bed with Captain Kirk and some swearing. There were also some really sweet and tender moments as well.
It was fun to see how they incorporated some of the stuff from the original TV series.
 I really enjoyed the movie and it had some cool and quirky characters, just a great summer escape movie.
I am giving "Star Trek Into Darkness" four bags of popcorn.
