STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS (Theatrical Release USA 2013)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Star Trek Into Darkness—lives up to its trailers and succeeds as an even better effort by J.J. Abrams to portray prequels to the Star Trek series. The same great casting choices include Chris Pine, Zackary Quinto, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, and Bruce Greenwood. From beginning to end, it’s a movie flick that compliments and honors the original 1960s TV series.
