Star Trek Into Darkness
Star Trek Into Darkness is Joss Whedon making action adventure rather than science fiction turning the Star Trek franchise into a bombastic summer blockbuster. Now there is nothing wrong with any of the action in the film, but I would’ve just loved to see some logic.
Logic like a Vulcan. Not like a Vulcan going into a volcano. What? Why can’t they just beam the bomb down? Or why doesn’t the Enterprise just do this all from space? Hunh? Submariner? Doesn’t make any sense if it was a science fiction but it’s an action flick.
We do get a lot of action. Good clean fun.
But it’s Kahn all over again. Is this what we want from our Star Trek franchise?
3 of 5 stars.
