Star Trek Into Darkness movie review

[@ThGameSystem10]

Why does everyone hate this movie? I really enjoyed it.

[@KicksnCapesYT2]

they are the fans of the original one

[@stagelinedpro]

The ending is messy. But the movie is still awesome.

[@warbabyfox117]

i loved both the first one and this one

[@warbabyfox117]

Bogri Namka like the 2009 one or what?

[@ConorChaos]

+ThGameSystem10 It's not Star Trek. JJ wanted to make a Star Wars movie so bad that he tried to do that with this. Star Trek isn't and have never been all about action but the story and exploration. It's not a bad movie but doesn't feel like Star Trek. I like the movie and I like JJ. So glad he finally gets to make the Star Wars movie he's always wanted and the one we deserve.

[@00Anjie]

The movie was great, I almost wanted Cumberbatch to win. Second favorite villain next to Loki!

[@feliciaf8]

+Almost Absolutely Fun me too XDD

[@antigod8385]

Anjela Because it’s not Star Trek, Star Trek is not this film is basically a remake of Star Trek 2 the wrath of khan aka one of the best films of all time, go watch it and you will see! It’s epic and cumberbatch was mis cast, khan is supposed to be an old guy. Also go and watch Star Trek 8 first contact and watch all of the series like even the original from like 11 years before star wars

[@antigod8385]

[@ierondarklord6024]

Khan is a much better villain than Captain Nero.

[@bilbobaggins8440]

I liked both haha but I'm a big fan of Eric Bana

[@ierondarklord6024]

Garen Gasparovic I am a great fan of Eric Bana as well. Especially because he played Hector in Troy and that is one of my favourite films of all time.

[@TheMrSpartanking]

[@janeyrevanescence12]

My brother saw this in the theater five times...and this is a guy who admits that he only goes to the movies twice a year.

[@BatmanHQYT]

I FREAKING LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!! Cumberbatch was brilliant, Kirk and Spock had an interesting friendship, the battles were epic, the graphics were groundbreaking (damn, that futuristic London just blew me away) and everyone just shined.

[@EllieStardust]

To be fair, Cumberbatch is always brilliant.

[@theanvilofgaming6847]

this film is the reason that i have hope for the new star wars movies.

[@MrDanielshj]

batman has spoken.

[@mattboesch8907]

I saw this movie twice. it's actually one of the best star trek movies i have seen in a while.

[@IngenFiles]

I love both the 2009 reboot and this one and while Into Darkness had a few more noticeable weaknesses, I think I liked this one a bit more. Everything had a lot more depth and the stakes were much higher. It did feel like a natural progression from the reboot. Also, in this film, the new actors (particularly Chris Pine and Karl Urban as Kirk and McCoy) really reminded me of the original actors' portrayals of their respective characters. The only convenience that I didn't like in the film was Spock talking to Spock Prime. That just felt like cheating.

[@limo4935]

Is it strange I was more aroused by Cumberbatch during his description to Spock about how he'll get his crew back than I was when Marcus took her clothes off...?

[@ArcLightShock37]

No, no it is not.

[@LadyTanyaNY]

I love Benedict Cumberbatch's voice in this movie!!! He was also so great as Smaug the dragon in the Hobbit trilogy!!!

[@Scsigs]

This guy gets it. He got what it was supposed to be about, not what nerds consider crap.

[@metal882]

Lol so true I didn't walk out of the theater saying "dude that hot chick though" I walked out saying "THAT CUMBERBATCH THOUGH!"

[@apoplexiamusic]

it's funny how so many people jumped on the bandwagon of hating this movie and Dark Knight Rises about 6 months or so after they came out and everybody loved them to bits. makes you wonder who starts those trends... cuz god damn that is a good movie!

[@crimsonjedi]

Nope JJ is trash

[@NeilYoungHorne]

Seriously I was literally just thinking this! It's 2022, I thought this movie was amazing, people are still hating because it didn't fit their mold of what they think Star Trek and it's characters are supposed to be

[@seroccoprime2774]

Cumberbatch ALONE makes this movie.

[@SpreadingtheMuse]

Anthony Serocco Meh, Cumberbatch was miscast, and good acting is a lousy substitute for a mediocre story

[@WiseGuy5674]

+Anthony Serocco Cumberbatch would have made a great Lt Commander Data in a STNG reboot.

[@SpreadingtheMuse]

***** I'd buy that.

[@LadyTanyaNY]

+Anthony Serocco I LOVED him in this movie!! His acting was amazing. He gave Khan a lot of intensity and depth. He was a bad guy, but still complex.

[@SpreadingtheMuse]

Lady Tanya Acting cant save a whole movie. A bad script drags everything down

[@jonjaywordsmith]

I just watched this movie again. It's still fantastic!!!!!!!

[@rollingafatblunt2228]

Please ANYBODY explain to me why do people hate on this movie? Like almost everybody hates on it. Why?

[@gazorpazordfieldii3084]

+Mike “Deck” Minkov Probably the fake out with Kirk's death. I never saw a Star Trek episode but that was incredibly, almost courageously shitty writing to just retcon a death within the same movie.

[@rollingafatblunt2228]

Gazorpazordfield II But the old Star Trek Saga did the same thing, only with Spok, who was dead for one movie and revived somehow the next. And a lot of people who are fans of the old are complaining.

[@gazorpazordfieldii3084]

If that's true, then the old Star Trek had some terrible writers, and the fact they did it too is no excuse.

[@rollingafatblunt2228]

Gazorpazordfield II Yes it is true, in Star Trek 2, or 3 I don't remember, Spok dies, Shatner is sad, they touch through the glass (yess the death was the same, radiation in a tube) they are sad, Spok gets shot out in space. Afterwards he was alive in the next movie for some reason, but he didn't remember anything. It doesn't matter it was done then, and people love it. :D

[@suezotiger]

+Mike “Deck” Minkov Spock coming back to life was because of the Genesis planet, the entire focus of the third movie. Much better than what into darkness did

[@genecysorellana5444]

Jeremy Jahns is a Cumbercollective member and it makes me so happy :D

[@BlargeMan]

I understand why the old Trekkies don't like these new movies, but come on people, it's an alternate Star Trek universe, almost like their timeline was reset. We can have some new mixed in with the old. I've seen both new and old Trek movies, and both the new ones feel like updated and modern versions of the old ones. There's still something there that is quintessentially, well, Trek. And I absolutely love Star Wars, I was a hardline Wars fan before these new movies came out and then I started to really like both, whereas before I found the old Trek movies entertaining but not as engaging. And honestly, I liked Cumberbatch's Khan better than Ricardo Montalban's *FLAME SHIELD ON*

[@philipworks1669]

Exactly as i describe it!

[@putinscat1208]

The timeline reset from the moment of Kirk's birth. Khan's life and his race were decided 200 years earlier. Despite Bones saying, "he's 300 years old" This is all in video and completely researchable, and basic math. So yeah, that's why we are pissed. Compare Ricardo Montalbán and Cumberbitch. Not even close.

[@putinscat1208]

***** It made me puke.

[@putinscat1208]

***** The Tribbles being so common, and found years earlier than that guy introduced them near the Klingon neutral zone. In the previous movie, Ohura ordered 3 drinks at the bar where she met Kirk, one of them was a Kardassian drink. Which is a race that was in TNG. Since no one has gone on a 5 year mission, would they have met them yet? When Kirk and Spock fought in Amok Time, the air on Vulcan was too hot and thin for Kirk. In the first Star Trek, Kirk and Sulu fought on a Romulan drill many miles above the surface of Vulcan with no helmets on. JJ just has no grasp of basic physics. This part of his brain has been replaced by $$.

[@putinscat1208]

***** I'll wait for cable. I was hoping getting rid of JJ would yield some progress.

[@Davidcross0121]

i have never watched a star trek episode or the film before this. and must say this is the best sci-fi adventure ever fantastic plot and i just loved how well paced the movie was it never felt like a 2 hour film

[@Macro105]

Benedict Cumberbatch and your completely fine in any movie

[@sara-jv2rc]

[@crayolapencils247]

When JJ talks about Benedict Cumberbatch he soumds like everyone on Tumblr and I love it!!

[@anjette100]

great movie! Benedict Cumberbatch is the man

[@feliciaf8]

+Nahkis yup

[@jakegeiselhart3912]

I love Star Trek in general, I grew up on Picard and the Next Generation, DS9, Voyager, all of them and JJ did a nice job on both, all of my fellow Trekkies don't care for new ones because they they claim it lacked story and character depth like TNG has but in reality these movies stay with the original TOS formula of cutting edge action for its time while still having a moral message and conflict. JJ did great getting an awesome new cast. Chris Pine is easily better than Shatner, he out "Kirked" the original. Shatner will always be the original but Pine IS the Kirk I have read in the novels and comics.

[@xfatima]

I absolutely loved it. I was sitting in my seat, just in awe of how excellent it was before it had even finished. There were scenes were I audibly gasped and got super shocked and I teared up and there were some hilarious moments, too. Bones is probably the most dramatic character in anything, seriously lmao. Benedict was incredible. He has the coolest voice of anyone ever. I hope he's cast in EVERYTHING. Definitely awesometacular.

Consequences in the Star Trek Universe that came out of this movie: 1. Spaceships are now useless because we can use a bullshit personal teleporter device to instantly get to anywhere in the galaxy. 2. Nobody can ever die because we have that bullshit serum made from Kahns blood that will magically do things like bring people back to life after they have died of severe radiation poisoning. As a Star Trek fan (TNG specifically) i was a little disappointed with the first movie because Abrams was taking the franchise away from scifi and moving it more into Fantasy (which makes sense because Abrams is mainly a Star Wars fan) but it was still a good and entertaining movie that had great character development and interplay among the different characters, without too much illogical bullshit (other than that stupid Red Matter). This movie, however, went full fantasy. Magical portable transporters that could beam a person many hundreds of light years away, even though in the 24th century (the reboot movies take place in the 23rd century) the maximum range of a Starfleet transporter was 40,000KM. A special "subspace" transporter was invented later in the 24th century, but even that only had a range of a few light years, nowhere near the range that would be needed to transport from Earth to Qo'nos. So apparently, nobody in the Star Trek Universe will ever need a ship again because no matter where in the galaxy (or, at least, the Alpha quadrant) you want to go, you can now just instantly transport there. Star Trek movies can no longer have any tension, due to protagonists being in physical danger, because if they die we can just give them that Khan's blood serum and bring them back to life. I am very happy that Abrams has moved on to Star Wars, I think he will be much more at home in a Universe where things don't have to make sense.

[@Stryder56]

Brook Allgood Oh, and the Klingons looked stupid.

[@jedidogma]

In my opinion, he also f***ed the star wars iterations too.

[@Anjalena]

I really liked it until they went WAY WAY WAY overboard with the EXACT rehashing of the ending of Wrath of Khan. Fan service is great! And similarities and parallels in this universe are fine. But that just went way overboard. I almost feel like the director was going "Fine. You want fan service. Have some!" and shoveled that down our throats. I dunno. It just really ticked me off. The rest of the movie was really good! I had minor gripes here and there but they really were minor, no big deal things. But that scene was just too much and it completely killed the immersion for me because immediately I'm back in the 80's seeing a totally different scene which reminds me that I'm watching a movie. And that defeats the purpose of making a movie/tv show/etc. Anyway, that was my only gripe. Cumberbatch did a great job, though he had really big shoes to fill! And overall, 2009 was my favorite of these 2 movies. Also, something I think you didn't really hit on in your review of the 2009 movie review is how perfectly some of the casting was in this movie when matching them up to the old actors who played them so long ago. Especially the casting for Kirk! But I think all of the casting choices were just incredible. And the kid who played Kirk, filling Shatner's shoes... wow! I've never seen someone emulate him so well without overacting and exaggerating. Excellent job, in my opinion! =)

[@derekbates4316]

I can't agree with you, I just can't. While it may seem like a rehash, it had more emotion, especially when Jim said "I'm scared, Spock"; how could you not feel the impact of such hero admitting to how fragile he is in such a moment? Plus, Kirk dying to save the Enterprise is pure Kirk; it is what he would do if he isn't able to get to the bridge and the ship's core NEEDS to be restarted.

[@thedon7082]

Anjalena at least the whole rehashing thing was only at the climax, and JJ Abrams didn't do it through the whole movie, unlike some of his other movies *cough* the force awakens *cough.*

[@Parisa.26]

HIGH FIVE really, i Loved the sentence "you're not gonna leave thinking oh yeah that chick, you're gonna leave thinkin' yeah Cumberbatch!" everything's about Khan and yet some perverts just keep criticizing movie for the scene while no one criticizes them for what scene they're stuck to!

[@TheWriteFiction]

DC failed with their reboot of everything, but Star Trek is going strong, yo.

[@yudhveer99]

hahahahahahaahahahahahaha

[@PauLtus_B]

I liked it but I did thank the whole thing felt, well, insignificant. With all the big stuff going it doesn't feel like it's important. It was a bit like, intro, terrorist does some bad stuff, characters go after him, go back, plot twist, some spectacle, the end. Getting a guy and getting back, just that.

[@samuelanderson1862]

loved it! and like Jeremy said so good i don't feel like i need to choose between into darkness and the first star trek its a progression of what came before which makes it great! as a comic book fan wish WB got J.J. to direct Green Lantern

[@cvzanikos1]

I really despise some hard core fans saying that it's the worst star trek film. Really?! Also I'm really upset that JJ ditched to go to micky mouse and do star wars. I prefer the Sci fi realism of the trek films over SW. I'm worried about one of my favorite franchises now....

[@cvzanikos1]

***** "Your not OK " then you got issue. The movie was fantastic and I'm hopeful for the next one. Although I'd prefer if it was JJ.

[@cvzanikos1]

***** there is nothing scarier than a villain with a purpose who believes he isn't a villain and what he does is justified. Terrorism? The Joker? Magneto? So what you're saying is flawed. Cumberbatch was a way better Khan than that fantasy Island guy. Not to say he was terrible. For that time he was grand but times have changed and so has the acting. No the story did lack a sense of originality but by no means creativity. The old hardcore fans should be Happy that their favorite franchise has been revived cause otherwise it would be shelved next to "lost in space" (pun intended)

[@cvzanikos1]

***** you're looking into it way too much. Calm down. We both agree it was a good movie. It's one of the best ST films to date IMO. Thats all.

Benedict Cumberbatch, the only reason I watched it

[@Nostripe361]

well you must also ask how much he was changed by meeting kirk. In the original series they have been friends for years so he may have been as is in this au before he met Kirk. and with Kirk being different as well as other events like the loss of so many ships and personal as well as an entire planet at the destruction of Vulcan (his homeworld) it is understandable that Spock would not be the same one as in the Original series.

[@sriharsha5036]

I think it is a beautiful movie

[@Crlarl]

This movie shouldn't have Khan in it. It's an alternate universe with different adventures. I can't help but compare it to The Wrath of Khan which it can't compete with. Wrath of Khan was original but this one rips off ("references") way too much from other movies.

[@godsfireworks]

I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be set in the same universe, but I could be wrong.

[@Crlarl]

Yes, but this time they've the opportunity to explore NEW worlds not the same original series' stories.

[@IngenFiles]

Kahn still exists in the alternate universe, though, even before Into Darkness. It would have been idiotic on the filmmakers' part not to include him in at least one of the films and I LOVED Cumberbatch as Kahn. In fact, and I'm saying this as a loyal Star Trek fan, I sort of prefer this Kahn to the original (which I still love). This Kahn was just a lot more sympathetic and I really understood where he was coming from and his logic. I really hope we see more of him in future films (especially if they show the war between Starfleet and the Klingon Empire play out). He's just a wild card and I love that about the character.

[@RaikenXion]

Yes they didnt even need to do the whole Khan thing, infact they should be going into whole new territory, new Ideas and all that. Its almost like they've just ran out of original Ideas when it comes to Star Trek, like dare I say wheres all the "Scientific" Ideas in Star Trek now.

[@IngenFiles]

Raiken Xion You know, they put fan service in Into Darkness because a bunch of Star Trek "fans" were complaining that there was none in the 2009 reboot. And personally, I think Kahn worked in this film, I just think they didn't use him enough.

"Into Darkness" was my favorite movie of 2013. It had a really cool and intellectual villain, the characters were even better than the original, the visuals were phenomenal (I think this deserved a nomination for best visual effects) and it has hands-down one of the saddest scenes in 2013.

[@1995krampe]

never really liked star trek but then i watched this movie when it came on tv and i was stunned. It was awesome. Probably the best thing a director can do is winning someone for liking a franchise

[@Optimusprime240]

[@k1productions87]

I like Into Darkness more for the simple fact that there is less in it to have to excuse away. In 2009, I had to emphasize (its not about the details, its about the characters, and they're all (to steal your phrase) AWESOMETACULAR). But in Into Darkness, the entire presentation from start to finish was awesome. Any nitpicking was exactly that, nitpicking. And above all else (spoiler alert), it ends with a return to ideals, so I am truly optimistic about the future of the reboot franchise.

[@Burntoastman31]

Saw this tonight....it was phenomenal. Plan on going to see it again tomorrow. J.J. never disappoints and I can't wait for his take on Star Wars.

[@Sarah-pq3rn]

So, if I want to see Star trek into darkness, what should I watch first? will Star trek 2009 will be enough? because I never watched anything related to star trek and I think it's time to start but I want to start well and well... I'm confused.

What you said about the trailer is true, watching it I was like 'Are they ever in space EVER?' turns out they are. and actually I did like Alice Eve. although I've heard someone say that this is less of an ensemble movie and more centered on Chris/Zach/Ben's characters and that is true, I did miss the rest of the crew a little

[@zork961]

Benedict Cumberbatch is an extremely talented actor and we dont only see that in this movie but also in the sherlock series he stared in. This guy's voice is so strong that is gives the character a whole new uniqueness. He better get signed in a lot more movies to come!!!

[@deemura]

Trekkies are like "this is more like an action movie rather than star trek!" "I hate this white khan." Are the same Trekkies who are eager to see Tarantino's trek and don't acknowledge that Cumberbatch accepted this role without knowing what his role was 😒

[@Turbopummel]

The battle between the Vengeance and Enterprise just kills the whole movie for me. Two federation ships shooting at each other next to the moon in close proximity to earth, yet the rest of starfleet, although they got an enormous starbase with additional ships in earth-orbit, don't recognize the fighting. On top of that, Spock is able to contact new Vulcan, which isn't even in the same solar-system, but can't/wouldn't think of contacting starfleet-hq which is just around the corner for help?

[@TitaniumSeraph]

When Kirk says he's scared...I got really choked up. If they make a 3rd one I hope we get more McCoy (he's my favorite) and samurai Sulu! I missed that space katana from the last movie.

[@Zero921000]

Yeah, I think Abrams just trying to get into Star Trek by creating it they way he wants so that way, it can appeal to a general audience. And in the next film, he can watch more of the original series and the books, to get more experience and make the next one great. I would agree with a new TV series, which I think they should one day. Star Wars Episode 7, I am looking forward to it but I think the next trilogy should be part prequel part sequel at the same time.

I like how even though it was a two hour movie it did not seem like it was a two hour movie because the plot was so well organized. Great writing as well. Awesome cinematography and twists.

[@Bigtigger939]

They movie was great and I really appreciated many aspects of the 'layers'. It was different and it really gave the feel that you didn't even have to watch the first movie to understand what was happening in this sequel other than the relationship between kirk and his former captain. I enjoyed your review, keep it up buddy. Thanks

[@LovelessTaicho]

I am a huge fan of Benedict Cumberbatch and I love Abrams' Star Trek. I was really excited when they announced that Cumberbatch was the bad guy for the movie. I haven't seen it yet and it's driving me nuts because Cumberbatch raises the bar whenever he is a part of the cast. I am really interested to see his portrayal in up coming Hobbit movies with his Sherlock co-star Martin Freeman. Their chemistry on screen is amazing.

[@ItsSomeDeadGuy]

Did we watch the same movie? Cumberbatch really was given a good deal of Trek-styled dialogue and he utilized it perfectly. The only flaw was that I did wish that he had a big ideological showdown with Spock in the middle of their big fight but still, I thought it was great.

[@tickub]

JJ Abrams setting his reboot in a parallel universe to that of the original was a genius move. Not only did he avoid angering Trekkies, gave them nerdgasms by bringing out Spock Prime in the 2009 movie, but also succeeded in paying homage to the Wrath of Khan (1982) with identical scenes in Into Darkness. ** SPOILER ALERT ** I'm so looking forward to his projects on that proposed 5 year expedition mentioned in the very end.

I'm not upset. In fact I respect the way you responded to me. I understand where you are coming from. Its not easy to write something timeless. And if you hated the first one you won't like this one. I really enjoy star trek as well. The problem is it grew stale, and they needed to draw a bigger audience or it would fail to exist. I really enjoy what they've done with the last two, its really fresh I know you covet the old movies but honestly i feel you are looking at them with nostalgia glasses

[@nmcvicker03]

and this is not a remake. Its a new take. When they rebooted the timeline, these characters don't just disappear, the same people exist just in a parallel universe. This movie isn't perfect but it was entertaining, and the chemistry of the actors they've selected are great. And its fantastic to finally see star trek get a huge budget and see the enterprise and star fleet get the big budget treatment. But again i respect your opinion, just wish you'd give it a chance then form an opinion.

There are very few movies I like enough to spend $20-$30 for the dvd and I have to say that this is one of them. It was so awesome I left the theatre wanting to pay another $15 to watch it again, that happens every few years with me. This is a must see movie.

well, just because we've seen a Tribble doesn't mean we can't still have them be involved somehow. And my wish for the third movie is a more dungeon-crawling Indiana Jones like adventure, where the Enterprise crew and a Klingon crew are on a planet, or in a system, hunting some sort of ancient technology/knowledge, which could conceivably involve the Guardian of Forever, but at the end, solving the puzzle would involve cooperation, not them defeating each other. Definite Trek-like message

I enjoyed it but didn't think it was as good good as I thought, In my opinion I would buy it on blu ray, still good though, I'm interested to see what he does for STAR WARS vII

I think in the 3rd movie, I think it would be a good idea to introduce The Borg Queen. I think she should be written and portrayed as a female version of The Joker, Raoul Silva, and Hannibal Lecter rolled into one or like a Borg version of Queen Ravenna (SW&TH). With the right actress and a good script, I think they could outshine Cumberbatch's performance!

[@The7thDraconian]

I gotta to admit I really enjoyed this movie. Everything was built up, the themes were interesting and felt like something the original series would've tackled. But then the last fifteen minutes kicked in and I'm just like "Come on you guys you were doing so well and then you had to take two steps back." However, I'm still willing to see the film again if I get the chance and I still think it's really good. I'm just gonna skip that last fifteen minutes.

But everybody looked like the originals, except Khan - who conspicuously looked very not like Khan When they originally said he'd been cast as the villain, there was speculation that he might be Captain Garth - because at least he looks like him. But he looks so not like Khan that you might as well have cast Martin Lawrence as Khan.

Definitely picking this up on Blu-Ray tomorrow, I loved the movie in theaters and I can't wait to watch this again!

[@RotiKismis]

I've seen it 3 times. And still want to see more! Love the acting, and Benedict Cumberbatch! Is just awesome...

[@MeanSabean01]

Jeremy why is this video review in your movies of 2012 playlist?

[@nicholasjanke3476]

I always thought there should have been a scene of Khan meeting Marla McGivers on the Enterprise. In fact it would have been really cool if there'd been a scene where Marla shows Khan her art collection-have a scene exactly the same as Space Seed.

Also, the 2009 movie is really effing good as well. You can get a lot out of it by just watching it alone, but you get more out of it by watching the 2009 movie. And bonus points if you watch Wrath of Khan....a lot of parallels and references. :)

[@al307antony2]

Dope movie. The twist of the khan reveal was awesome not to mention his durability to withstand the assault of Kirk on Kronos!

[@gabelunn7420]

I really enjoyed the film, but only for the first hour and a half. I felt like they wrapped up the ending to easily and they just needed an excuse to tie up the loose ends after all the action sequences we sat through. Especially Cumberbatch's role I felt iffy about. Not in the sense that he didn't give 100% (I assure you, I too have a broner), but they didn't seem to give enough closure to his character or his purpose in the end.

[@greengoblin4life]

This movie was amazing... idc what anyone else says.
