Star Trek: Into Darkness

This film was very stunning on the big screen. I know very little about the original Star Trek movies, so I know very little about the fandom, but the movie was enjoyable even for one without such knowledge. Benedict Cumberbatch was brilliant as Khan. His portrayal of the already hated villein, from The Wrath of Khan, and others of the older movies, was very well done, there wasn't a moment when viewers didn't hate his guts. The reversal of the roles of Spock and Kirk near the end in the new movie verses The Wrath of Khan was a great tribute to the older movies! It was a fast paced adventure through space. The best things about the movie would have to be the interesting ties and parallels to The Wrath of Khan, and Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of Khan. A great film exploring space, humanity, and emotions! Certainly a roller coaster of a film that is well worth viewing.
