The second installment did not disappoint. The timeline is iffy but the film begins, a few months or years (???) after the first movie. James T. Kirk is still the captain of the USS Enterprise. But then there's some rule breaking that goes on, which leads Kirk to lose his ship. Other spoilery things happen, and then we finally meet this film's baddie, Benedict Cumberbatch. Look, I'm a big Sherlock fan, so I was beyond thrilled when I heard Cumberbatch was the new villain. He has such a presence and delivery, really I could get behind anything he does. This movie was just as entertaining as, if not more than, the first one. There was lots of action, and a great story line. However, the characters are what draws me to these films. The chemistry between the cast is so good, it makes me think, these actors are actually the characters they are playing, which is great because the main focus of this film is the relationship between Spock and Kirk. A relationship that began stormily, but has developed into a friendship so strong, these two characters see each other as brothers.
Ultimately, the film is worth seeing. I walked out of that theater extremely satisfied and wanting to see it again.
Rating: ★★★★★
Recommendations: See it in theaters now! (3D if it doesn't give you a headache, like it does to me)
