Star Trek Into Darkness

For those of you that insist Star Trek is just for geeks and nerds, THINK AGAIN! Star Trek Into Darkness, the sequel to J.J. Abrams' revival of the popular science-fiction franchise, Star Trek, brings more of his new vision to the world. This time, Captain Kirk and crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, must sacrifice everything in order to stop a madman from destroying Earth and all they hold dear. This is a film filled with action, emotion, suspense and heartbreak. It's not just for the fans, but for everyone that just wants to sit back and have a good time.

Taking place a year from the first movie, Kirk and crew are now set for their mission in space for five years. On a planet that is in danger of being destroyed by a giant volcano, Kirk and Dr. McCoy must do what they can to prevent the destruction without the race seeing their technology. The Prime Directive is a clear one. A visit to a planet must not interfere with the indigenous way of life. Knowing Kirk, however, he can't wait for the chance to cause trouble. On the run from the inhabitants, Kirk fires at one of the animals used to escort then safely away.

Mind you, this is just the beginning of the movie. The rest is just spectacular and out of this world! Now, be warned, this is not the Star Trek we used to know. This all changed with the 2009 reboot of the series. However, once you come to realize that just have fun with it because you're really in for a bumpy ride! Keep an eye out for a Leonard Nimoy cameo as Spock.
