The actors chosen for the J.J. Abrams series of Star Trek do a great job at playing what everyone knows, as opposed to trying to put their own spin on these iconic characters. All of them live up to expectations, some exceeding them (Quinto as Spock). Almost to a fault, Chris Pine at times appears to be acting as William Shatner playing Kirk, instead of just Kirk. Thing is, there is no other Kirk, not like multiple people can play Batman or Spiderman, so it doesn't come across as a mocking of the original actors. If you like the original characters of Star Trek; if you like the movies with them in it, you will like these Abrams Treks, as they are very similar except they have better special effects and more action. Into Darkness ties-in and also pays homage to the originals. If you are familiar with those, you will appreciate this one even more. Definitely worth seeing this one in the theater. I wouldn't say it's a must-see in 3D, though. Can't wait for the next one!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Like other reviews, I agree this movie keeps taking you in a seemingly new direction as it progresses. A good story because it is not predictable, but it is not contrived. Cast was good, too. It is hard to follow at times, but I walked out with no questions about the plot. It was also refreshing to watch a movie that doesn't drag for 2 1/2 hours. This one, at 1:46, was a perfect length. I tend to enjoy action/sci-fi blockbusters in the theater. This isn't worth the big screen price; I'd rent it at home. Still, a very good movie; worth seeing.
Pros great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
