Star Trek: Into Darkness

Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Benedict Cumberbatch, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Alice Eve, Bruce Greenwood, Peter Weller. This latest addition to the Star Trek canon tries hard but makes the mistake of dipping into the past, bringing back Khan as a villain. It also feels compelled to get a little too busy, with all kinds of camera motion and crazy camera angles. I'm a big Star Trek fan, but this movie failed to grab my attention  in a really big way. The plot was too complicated and too poorly explained. I just didn't enjoy it. On the plus side, favorite characters all returned, and there was even a Tribble subplot. It should have been good fun. (Subtitles in English are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B
