"Star Trek Into Darkness" - 5 Things You Should Know

"Darkness is coming!"

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness is finally out! The many trailers and movie clips released prior to the film's premiere promised us that it would be one of this summer's top flicks. Incredible visual effects and the presence of a well portrayed and mysterious villain are enough to thrill us without even thinking about the plot. I mean, what else do you need after hearing the line "Shall we begin?" delivered in Benedict Cumberbatch's cool voice? - That single phrase sealed the deal for me.

Anyway, prepare to read five more spoiler-free facts about Star Trek Into Darkness below!

"
1. John Harrison is No Joker: Benedict Cumberbatch had a small part in War Horse, but most know him from BBC's Sherlock. Those piercing eyes, raven locks and above all, a voice that is just so darn relaxed. This winter, he'll breath fire on his Watson (Martin Freeman) as the dragon Smaug in the next Hobbit, but here he's John Harrison. Or is he? We'll never tell, but unfortunately, through no fault of Cumberbatch's performance, the baddie gets less compelling the more you know about him.

2. A Very Bright Future: London and San Francisco impress in IMAX with neon lit buildings that make Milla Jovovich's memorable plunge in The Fifth Element look quaint. As he did in 2009's Trek, Abrams jumps at the opportunity to go old school with another track by the Beastie Boys. Fun fact: The Earth-stationed Starfleet scenes were shot in the marble-encased Getty Museum located in Los Angeles.

3. Wisecracks Still at Warp Five: [Chris] Pine, [Zachary] Quinto, and [Zoe] Saldana deliver every quip with a dizzying deft touch. The film's highlight has the trio stranded on a top-secret mission to Kronos (or Qo'noS for ST purists), the Klingon home world. Karl Urban and Simon Pegg are also hilarious reprising their roles as Bones and Scotty, but a wee underused.

4. Throwback References Outweigh a Solid Story: After their clever, fan-approved new timeline in the first outing, screenwriters Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof infuse too much of Into Darkness with call backs to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn: a two-starship standoff, a sacrifice (with a twist!) and Alice Eve's curiously misleading character to name a few. All of it unnecessary. Highly illogical.

5. What Does This Mean For Star Wars Episode VII? Into Darkness is a good, though not great addition to the Trek universe, but J.J.'s direction is still as focused as his lens flares. His next project is the first entry in the new Disney-owned Star Wars series, which is set to hit theaters in 2015. The key to re-energizing the Force is good humor and an ensemble we can relate to. Think Mark Hamill's 70s surfer smile in A New Hope. Which is exactly what J.J. did for both Trek films. To the haters we say, we find your lack of faith disturbing.
