Since the broadcast of the original TV series in 1966,
Star Trek has had so many sequels, reboots, re-inventions and spin offs that it becomes quite laborious to calculate. But never has the franchise received the widespread appeal given by its
JJ Abrams (Director) reenactment, which began with his aptly titled
Star Trek (2009) and now continues with
Star Trek Into Darkness.
Starting more or less where
Star Trek left off,
Into Darkness follows the exploits of Captain Kirk and his First Officer Spock as they
"go where no man has gone before, explore new worlds and new civilisations" whilst perpetually debating the value of reason against intuition, blow things up, almost get killed, introduce pre-modern beings to advance technology by accident and basically unleash mayhem.
If I reveal too much more of the plot I’ll risk ruining the movie - but in brief it goes like this: a building gets blown up in London, lots of people die,
Noel Clark (
Doctor Who, Kidulthood) appears, the perpetrator is quickly revealed, numerous Starfleet officers plan to catch the bad guy and then, quite literally, all hell breaks loose. And that’s pretty much the sum of it.
