Khhhaaaann!!!! Star Track into the Darkness (spoilers!)

I guess I am the only one who just saw new Star Track film... well it was me and hubby. We went to Cineworld! Yes, no more Odeon for me! So happy, you know how I feel about Odeon... 

When my co-blogger Owen went to see Into the Darkness he said just one thing to me:
"Benedict does steal every scene"



And oh boy!!... But first thing first.



I do not like Star Track series, they are just too dated for me. Sorry. I like Sci-Fi... not all of it but some definitely, I am a bit of a geek.

Husband did say that I need to watch The Wrath of Khan (if you didn't know Star Track did the films too)to understand the jokes that the opening scenes refer to.. well maybe one day.

(if you haven't seen it yet now it is a good time to stop reading)



Opening scenes showed us this small world that is on the verge of distraction by volcanic eruption... But Jim  Kirk being a human that he is decides to save it. A lot of running around, many funny comments, but Spock almost dies.... I think this kind of sets the mood really. 
Spock was very puzzled about the whole big deal with the human emotion. Zachary Quinto did a very good job of that too! I was very moved by his speech to Uhura when they were about to land on Chronos.


Then it all kicks off with sad scenes form London featuring lovely Noel Clarke who I love since he was Mickey in Dr Who (geek, told you!) and the dramatic appearance of Khan.

And when they do get on the planet of "Cornish pasties"... well I'm sorry but Klingon do look like them a bit, action scene ... Benedict Cumberbatch is magnificent! Every move is captivating. It was truly amazing...Ok I might be slightly biased on that... 



Since I obviously had no idea what would happened and appart from the whole genocide thing I really wanted Khan to win! Yes, he was that good! 
The comedy moments been provided by very sexy "Bones" (Karl Urban) and Mr Scott (Simon Pegg), fun all around. I do think that's a good film make, really: action must be awesome, excellent effects and fight scenes,  comedy and men candy!


However....the whole Kirk dying thing I saw this coming really... Magic blood and what not, so ending was a bit predictable. 

(you can start reading again)

The action the story the characters well worth watching! 
I really enjoyed it, and I think will be watching it again and again. Highly recommend it!
