J.J. Abrams had to top his own film to justify feelings of newfound excitement and hope for the Star Trek franchise. The 2009 reboot was a critical and financial success, but nine time out of ten, the stakes are higher for a sequel, because everyone is stuck in the on pins needles stage. Was the original (or in this case a reboot) a fluke? Can they give us a reason to come back for more after a second film? Well, Abrams answered each question with a resounding yes. Abrams delivered a darker sequel with sleek action sequences, awe-inspiring visuals, and a tense, thrilling finale.
Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto returned with excellent chemistry, Zoe Saldana is on top of her game the second time around, and the rest of the returning members from the supporting cast deliver solid and enjoyable performances. But Benedict Cumberbatch steals the show as the newcomer here. Cumberbatch is flawless as Khan. He's a sophisticated and devious villain with a chilling dark side, and Cumberbatch's performance is one of the major highlights in the sequel.
Star Wars fans can rest easy now, because the beginning of a new era for the famed franchise is in good hands with J.J. Abrams. Need some proof? Just watch Star Trek Into Darkness. Trust me, you won't regret it.
