By no means do I call myself a Trekkie - I have family and friends who are, but I'm not, really. I have seen some here and there in the course of my life, but never been incredibly interested. When the first reboot film came out in 2009, I decided to go see it, and I absolutely loved it! As someone who wasn't that invested in Star Trek or the original stories, these films work for me. And that is what they were meant as - a reboot of a franchise many decades old.
Going into Into Darkness blind was likely the best thing I ever could have done. Throughout the course of the entire film, I was entertained. From the trip to Nibiru that began the film to the characters' hilarious rapport (for the most part), it was perfect to me. All of the actors complement not only their characters, but each other so very well, and I cannot imagine other actors in those roles. I was a little bit disappointed that Bones was typecast as a background character in this film, instead of a character on par with Spock or Kirk.
I tried not to be spoiler-tastic, but let me leave you with this: if you're thinking of seeing Star Trek: Into Darkness, do it! I saw it in 3D, and would actually like to see it again in 2D - only because the 3D left me a little bit more distracted than I usually am watching a movie. And it's opening weekend - what better chance than now?
