movie review - Star Trek Into Darkness

This 2013 Star Trek movie was such a mess I couldn't sit through the whole thing. Apparently now Khan and Spock are essentially super-human in their abilities, able to take great falls and make huge leaps with ease. Nothing about this thing really works, from the reveal that the supposed villain is Khan (a name unknown in this timeline) to the herky-jerky filming. It's very popular on IMDB but I disagree.

Not recommended.

The point isn't revenge. It is justice. Revenge is like a wave that washes up on shore - it always washes back out again. Justice is like the shore - it's still there after the wave comes and goes.
