I LOVE it! I'll give Star Trek Into Darkness a 9 out of 10. Awesome cast. Solid acting. Lots of kick-ass action with enough amount of emotion and heart. (CinemaScore gives the movie an " A ", IMDb gives 8.3 , Rotten Tomatoes certifies it fresh scoring 86% from critics, 89% from audience)
Smooth special effects, too. The 3D makes the warps big fun. I have great time watching it.
In short? Definitely worth to watch on big screen!

First: le Traileurs (what)
Ah, the drops of water that quenched my thirst since I waited for it years ago.. Ima embed them here~ just for future viewing. This first trailer on the list is the one that fits the mood of the movie most, I think.
enough heart and emotion, enough action and laughter.
...maan, now i wanna watch it again

warp! and amazing scenery. red planet!
For the plot, I'll only say this: basically the movie's about the crew trying to catch the terrorist "John Harrison". Whose voice is badass. And since I'm mentioning him, I'll start the cast countdown with the one I love the most:
"JOHN HARRISON", Commander - That dude in the poster. The villain. Brilliantly, amazingly, awesomely portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch. Cold, calculating, witty, brutally ruthless and efficient, Cumberbatch's John Harrison WILL make you pay attention to him every time he's on screen. Cos he's such a badass. And there's even a point in the movie where I 'get' where he's coming from and kinda rooting for him.

Cumberbatch's definitely one of the major strength of Star Trek Into Darkness (although the rest of the cast are also doing a great job, mind you).
And when he got John Harrison to speak! Oh my gaawd.. Dat VOICE! So out of this world. Heck, a day after I got out of the movie the first time, I felt like I was still high and weak in the knees just from hearing his voice!
I especially love when he half-whispered/spat the word "Captain," to Kirk when he first met Kirk and co, with loathe dripping from his tone. W.O.W. I got goosebumps remembering it. And that cold, unblinking, steely gaze doesn't hurt, either. ;)
benedict cumberbatch - dang it, why is your voice so sexy??
Btw. Turns out that there's a scene where John Harrison is showering that wasn't included in the movie. I read it on hollywoodreporter. But what do you know: Abrams gives us this EXCLUSIVE peek at it on Conan show:
He mostly do documentary I think, mostly on BBC. He played Vincent van Gogh, Stephen Hawking (where he got an award in it. oh, he was amazing!), did an amazing short film with Tom Hardy in "Stuart: A Life Backwards", he's on star-studded movie "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", he's playing legendary dragon Smaug in "The Hobbit", ... Man, I can go on and on about him. Hmm, I think I'll get him his own corner in another entry.
Point is: he is hot. Some people say he looks 'weird'. But for me, the fact that he's different is what makes him all the more scorching hot. And he's awesome. And can act. And he's such a shy (and sometimes cutely awkward) and down to earth gentleman who smiles a lot too, in real life. Ah, Benedict. I think have a crush on you. Blush blush.
JAMES T. KIRK, Commander/Captain - Or just "Jim", the captain of the ship. The gut-feeling-factor of the movie. Portrayed by Chris Pine.
I like that Pine can bring out the emotion and fragility to the brash and sometimes cocky (?) Kirk. Makes the character likable, even if I'm sometimes pissed at him for being so reckless at times. The dude is a preetty good actor, I must say.
