About Star Trek: Into Darkness

The new Star Trek movie has scenes and special effects even better than the first one. It is an amazing experience sitting in the theatre and watching it in 3D.

However, the story of the second one is much less impressive compare to the first Star Trek movie.

The first Star Trek movie is always one of my favourites. The story is funny, fine structured, and highly integrity. Compare to the good qualities of the first one, the second Star Trek movie has a pretty annoying story line. The structure of the story is weird, the rhythm is off, and the characteristics of the new characters are pale.

I'm a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch, but the bad guy he played in this movie is disappointing. He looks so strong and scheming when he first comes out, but turns out to be so lame in the end of the movie. It even makes more sense to let him convert into a good guy and leave all the guilt to Marcus. The transition of the character is just too stiff and not convincing enough.

But anyway, the fightings are cool. It is still funny and exciting to see those old crew members from the first movie teasing with each other again.
