Trailerblazing -- Star Trek Into Darkness

Star Trek Into Darkness -- May 17, 2013 -- directed by J.J. Abrams -- starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin

I have two words for you -- IMAX 3D. Or is that three words? See, that is what happens when a trailer scrambles your brain with too much awesomeness. I love the way that Abrams rebooted the franchise with the 2009 thrill ride, bringing in new details while paying attention to the classic show. From the moment I saw the sequel teaser, I wanted to see more, simply because this film looks too good. I love the implied shifts in the characters' relationships and look forward to seeing the perfectly chosen cast play them out. Cumberbatch is a fantastic addition and appears to have crafted a truly memorable, charismatic villain, someone who could possibly usurp everything that Kirk believes about himself and the Federation. Once again, the effects look unbelievable. Check out that spaceship crashing! The gravity-defying fights! The cliff dive! I cannot wait to immerse my senses. There are some films made for the IMAX 3D viewing experience and this is certainly one of them. Beam me up, please!
