Star Trek Into Darkness
SCORE: 62
Hollywood has a history of redefining
things in strange and odd ways. Take Star Trek Into Darkness for
example. The role reversals they did will make your head spin. This
movie makes Captain Kirk look weak. He dies to save the crew instead of
Spock. Spock is then the one who goes after Khan. Ultimately Khan is the
one who brings Kirk back from the dead thanks to his super soldier
blood. Anyone else find it odd that a three hundred year old man is so
much better than the futuristic versions?
I also wonder how Khan and his crew were captured in the first place. He
alone decimated multiple Klingon squadrons. The man has some serious
fighting skills. All seventy-three of them would have been nearly
unstoppable.
The visual effects in Star Trek Into Darkness are astounding. I love the
little stretches and different angles done throughout the 131 minute
movie. The violence is a bit over the top, and bloody. The images are
graphic, and disturbing throughout the movie. There is also enticement
to lust moments. Were those really needed?
Speaking of content that could have been left on the editing floor - bad
language. Why is there so much bad language in Star Trek Into Darkness?
Every five to ten minutes I think: “don’t use that word.” It takes away
from the overall experience. Why can’t Hollywood make these movies with
families in mind? They could tell the story without all the foul mouths.
One interesting aspect to me from Star Trek Into Darkness is how the
characters confront death. I could not help but think about the
difference between believers and non-believers. It is so interesting to
hear how the world thinks of death compared to the followers of Jesus
Christ. Star Trek Into Darkness does not share how the followers of
Jesus Christ confront death - they only focus on the worldly view.
