A
New
Super-Villain
In
Star
Trek
Into
Darkness
It
also
introduces
a
new
super-villain,
John
Harrison
(Benedict
Cumberbatch),
a
slippery
sort
of
guy
who
keeps
the
audience
guessing
as
to
who
the
actual
villain
is.
It
is
wonderful
to
watch
Cumberbatch
with
an
inspiring
performance
infuse
exotic
grandeur
to
the
character.
Actors
Performances
In
Star
Trek
Into
Darkness
Equally
impressive
is
new
entrant
Petter
Weller
as
Admiral
Marcus.
The
rest
of
the
cast
also
seem
very
confident
in
portraying
their
iconic
roles.
Karl
Urban
as
Bones,
Simon
Pegg
as
Scott,
John
Chu
as
Sulu
and
Anton
Yelchin
as
Chekov
have
their
own
hero
moments.
Alice
Eve
as
the
Admiral's
daughter
and
a
science
office
is
the
weakest
link
in
the
film.
Visual
Effects
In
Star
Trek
Into
Darkness
On
the
production
front,
Star
Trek
Into
Darkness
is
a
stunningly
assembled
and
uniformly
maintained
piece
of
work
across
board,
with
visual
effects
that
seamlessly
melt
live-action
and
computer-animated
elements
on
celluloid.
Music
In

Darkness
Production
designer
Scott
Chambliss'
sets
are
sleek
and
rich
in
splendour.
Composer
Michael
Giacchino's
soaring
score
once
again
revives
Alexander
Courage's
immortal
Trek
theme
for
the
closing
credits.
JJ
Abrams'
Script
In
Star
Trek
Into
Darkness
Director
Abrams
along
with
his
script
writers
have
skillfully
chartered
this
over
two-hour
plot
driven
blockbuster
that
does
not
bog
down
in
exposition
or
sag
in
the
middle.
Star
Trek
Sequel
Is
Promising
Unfortunately,
it
does
get
a
bit
tiring
at
the
end
and
risks
getting
burnt
out.
Which
is
why
the
denouement
is
wrapped
in
flat
three
minutes
and
it
also
lays
foundation
for
the
next
sequel
promising
a
five
year
trip
in
space
exploring
new
planets
and
civilizations.
Verdict
Star
Trek
Into
Darkness
is
a
must
watch
film
for
every
Star
Trek
fan.
