Star Trek Into Darkness

This is a worthy sequel (or Part 2) to the re-boot of the series a few years ago. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are Kirk and Spock again and, while enjoyable, they seemed to be just going through the motions and didn't add any 'zip' to their acting nor the film.

The key to the movie is Benedict Cumberbatch (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) who is evil and excellent. The quality and wide range of his emotional performance is riveting and  worth seeing again.

Also introduced is Alice Eve (She's Out of My League). She gives a fairly lightweight performance - I wonder if we'll see more of her in the future?

The movie has non-stop action and flows pretty well. Cumberbatch gives my rating an extra 1/2 star.
