Star Trek: Into Darkness – Zen and I went to see this movie this afternoon, it was really great! Plenty of action from the get-go, plenty of character development, great casting, lots of surprises, a fantastic (albeit superfluous) cameo, a wee bit of sexiness (Kirk being disturbed by an important phone call during some recreational activity with some slinky, feline she-aliens), plenty of goofy creatures, and the re-establishment of a classic villain resurrected from the TV series (we also get to see our first Tribble). Actually, there are three villains in the film, all on different “sides” (unfortunately, one of them is a traitor – never a favorite plot point of mine, but… whatever), making for a very good, intricate Star Trek plot. We also get some decent interplay with the Klingons, with nice views of Klingon warships. Nice.

The only complaints I have are that the plot doesn’t quite stand to scrutiny upon close inspection, in terms of the motivations and actions of our “traitor”, and that the scriptwriters succumb to the temptation to do that “what, I thought we destroyed him – but he’s still around to crash in on the near-to-final moments of the film!!” thing that you get so often in cheap horror films, but… whatever.

There’s also a great homage to the earlier works that flip-flops things (kind of like the way Uhuru becomes Spock’s love interest in the first film, not Kirk’s). There’s the introduction of a sexy new character who’s due to be a long-standing character and important to future sub-plots, etc. Great job, guys – I usually don’t like these big budget explosion-laden flicks, but this one is pretty good indeed.
