Star Trek : Into Darkness [Link to IMDB entry] takes off the ground running. Right from the opening sequence, not one scene is wasted, not one shot of footage is extra or useless and this speaks volumes for the tight screenplay by the writers of the movie. While this usually pans out good for most movies, having an extremely tight screenplay in action movies is wrought with risk. These movies run the risk of having too many action sequences, and too many twists and turns in the plot to keep the audience engaged that sometimes they turn into a farce of a movie.

Movie was great because it never lost my attention, even when it did take some questionable roads with its classic story. Good review.
@cmrok93, thank you so much for stopping by and letting me know your feedback on the review 🙂 yes, the screenplay was quite tight with not one dull moment throughout its running time.
are you a trekkie too? :O This movie is by far my favorite movie of 2013 🙂
@Ramanan, I used to be a trekkie when I was younger, am just trying to rekindle the craze nowadays, that’s all. And yes, this was one of the better action movies of the year for sure 🙂
