As the title may have led you to believe, I did not like Star Trek Into Darkness. And while the following is not a complete list of my grievences with the film, they are my top ten:
1 – Cold fusion doesn’t work like that.
2 – Volcanoes don’t work like that.
2a – While not a geologist, I am certain freezing a volcano would make things worse for the people you’re apparently trying to save.
3 – If you need to hide a spaceship from a race of alien cave people surely the best place to hide, would be in space… Not the scenic ocean next to the alien cave people’s village.
4 – Klingons.
6 – Female characters being reduced to nagging eye candy.
7 – Non-Indian Khan.
8 – Chekhov’s tribble.
9 – Spock’s “KHAAAAAAAN!” was worse than emo Vader’s “NNOOOOOOOO!”.
10 – Why did they need Khan’s blood specifically when they had 72 other genetically engineered psychopaths in the sickbay freezer?
All this being said, while I think Into darkness was a bad Star Trek film it was a decent sci-fi film.
