J.J. Abrams follows up the excellent Star Trek reboot with another wonderfully entertaining and even more action-packed science fiction blockbuster. When a rogue officer John Harrison launches a series of attacks on Starfleet, Captain Kirk and Spock must put aside their differences in order to capture the terrorist. The story is more straightforward this time, or is it really? One thrilling set-piece follows another, and inbetween Abrams somehow manages to explore the friendship between Kirk and Spock with very moving results.
