Goofs

When Kirk orders Scotty to stun Khan with his standard issue phaser, Khan is dropped to the floor immediately and temporarily immobilized. Later when Uhura shoots Khan repeatedly during the fight with Spock, Khan is barely affected. One might assume that with Khan's engineered superior physiology, the amount of adrenaline in his system from the fight could boost his endurance. See more »

Not as good as the first, but still great!
10 May 2013 | by gregausSee all my reviews

The previous Star Trek movie is a tough one to beat. It was (in my eyes) close to perfection (lens flares and all). So this movie had a tough up-hill battle ahead of it. I am happy to report that the writing, direction, cinematography and acting were all terrific. But it's not quite flawless. There are a couple of minor plot holes that distract viewer attention to some degree.

Cumberbatch is brilliant. I won't divulge any spoilers, but I will say that the throw back to the earlier movies is very very clever and well executed. The added depth we see in the characters of Kirk and Spock are icing on an already delicious cake!
