Star Trek Into Darkness
Chris Pine's Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto's Spock return alongside Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana and newcomers Benedict Cumberbatch and Peter Weller in the sci-fi sequel to J.J. Abrams' beloved 2009 Star Trek reboot. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home to Earth, they find John Harrison (Cumberbatch), a powerful figure with a thirst for vengeance, has begun to wage a one man war on Starfleet. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads his crew in pursuit of this fugitive, but if Harrison's strength and cunning prove a match for the whole fleet, what hope does the young crew of the Enterprise have of bringing him to justice - and what price will they have to pay?

Engaging; best to see it in theatres!
This was an absolutely amazing film. I say this because I am NOT a Star Trek fan but the director did phenomenally well bringing audiences like me into the action and not be completely lost. It had just the right amount of wit and a bucket-full of action I couldn't get enough of! Kudos goes to the VFX team for making the CGI looking flipping fantastic;...
