The film follows Captain Kirk and his crew, including Spock (Zachary Quinto), Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Bones (Karl Urban), and Sulu (John Cho) in their explorations and the subsequent adventure in space.[break]
Captain Kirk gets demoted due to the last adventure where he violated a rule where the planet’s inhabitants saw their spaceship. A sudden violent rampage by John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch), who is an employee of the Starfleet organization, leads Captain Kirk and his faithful crew to planet Kronus where they encounter Klingons. They are attacked by the Klingons with whom humans have a history of bad relationship. We’re presented with a puzzle when the superhuman Harrison comes to their aid.
The 3D experience of the film is not very strong, and the opening scenes of the film seem too animated. A brief glimpse of Alice Eve in her underwear is ridiculously unnecessary. Towards the end, the film becomes melodramatic and yet the film is not a total bore.
The popular TV drama, The Big Bang Theory, has several references to Star Trek and connecting them finally on the film is kind of fun.
Screening at QFX Cinemas.
