Star Trek: Into Darkness (No Spoilers)

On Saturday I saw the new Star Trek film... it was incredible! I haven't seen the previous film, so I went in not really knowing what to expect and I was blown away! Mini review time!

Cast: 
     In my opinion all the characters were played by the perfect actors for the job and were so similar to the actors to the original series (which I have just started to watch- it's so good!) I am quite biased when it comes to Mr Cumberbatch as I am a long time fan of his, so I enjoyed his scenes immensely. *wink wink*

Plot: (Not giving anything away)
        The story immersed me totally and kept me engaged from start to end (which is a feat in itself!) As I mentioned, I haven't seen the first film, but this didn't matter as I felt the film stood alone and informed me of the back-story as the film went along.

Characters:
     I knew of some of the iconic characters such as Spock, Scotty and Kirk so I recognized them easily, but the film introduced me to new characters which I now love, such as Chekov, Pike, Bones and Uhura. They made me laugh, cry and feel empathy for them ; a sign of a good movie and cast!
Favourite character: It's a three way tie between Spock, Scotty and John Harrison.

Rating: 9/10

 So I am now a converted Trekkie and desperately need to see the first film and all the series! I might be starting to learn Klingon soon!

Until next time!

Live long and prosper!
