(It’s amazing how similar the Star Trek template is to Master and Commander.) The film is hard to replicate, though. Apart from reviving the series after the barbiturate that was Star Trek: The Motion Picture, director Nicholas Meyer found the perfect balance between wonky sci-fi and nautical sweep. The narrative never stops twisting.Ī word about Wrath of Khan. Star Trek Into Darkness is a feature-length dialogue with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: Abrams and screenwriters Alex Kurtzman, Robert Orci, and Damon Lindelhof set the 1982 film’s best-known lines (and best-known scream) in peculiar new contexts. More than that, they made me feel so special for getting the in-jokes. The plotting is clunky and nonsensical, but Abrams and crew bombarded me into happiness.

Is the movie good? It’s hard to be objective. With a Star Wars picture looming, Abrams is ready for his own Vatican-like country - with a cathedral for Comic-Con conventions. It symbolically resurrects the dead and sets a course for the stars - a five-year mission that will introduce fantastical alien races and generate fantastical amounts of money. Even more than its predecessor, the movie is a combination “reboot” and religious revival, the Grail and Da Bomb. Abrams’s second Star Trek picture, Star Trek Into Darkness, is so mystically in tune with both the dictates of its studio and the yearnings of its audience that he ought to be anointed Most Reverend Guardian of the Holy Franchises. This review contains what might be perceived as a spoiler in connection with one character’s identity.
