I’m not going to lie. I’m not a “Star Trek” loyalist. Loved the show when I was little, but I’ve always sided on the “Star Wars” side of that debate. So I went into “Star Trek into Darkness” having loved J.J. Abrams first adventure mostly because it was a departure from the yawn inducing movies that were the previous films. I’m happy to say that I loved this movie — for the most part. Sure, there are some dull moments and some that don’t quite work dramatically, but it is a hell of a sequel.

Yes, Benedict Cumberbatch is awesome as….well, you’ll have to see the movie to find out who he plays.
