I have to admit, I found myself enjoying this more than I expected. It avoids some of the preachy moralizing that plagues other "Star Trek" movies and is primarily a sci-fi adventure where Chris Pine ("Kirk") and his team face off against adversaries – both from outside and within their own borders. The rapport between Pine and Zachary Quinto, playing “Spock,” still doesn’t entirely click for me; however, Karl Urban delivers a solid performance as "McCoy," full of his characteristic quirky analogies. (It's best not to dwell on Simon Pegg’s portrayal of "Scotty"—thankfully, he isn't in it much). The “Enterprise” is tasked with pursuing the notorious criminal "Khan" (Benedict Cumberbatch)—who is accountable for a bombing in London and then an assault on Starfleet headquarters—into perilous Klingon space, and they embark armed with some rather unreliable torpedoes. There’s some amusing back-and-forth between “Uhura” and “Spock” that elicits a chuckle, and Anton Yeltsin continues to have difficulty with the computer understanding his "w" sounds. It features numerous phaser battles, plenty of shirt-ripping action, and the narrative has enough structure to keep things progressing. The final fifteen minutes do feel stretched out somewhat—but if you're searching for well-produced science fiction with a few surprises and visual appeal, this is certainly worth considering.
