       This week's post is on Star Trek: Into Darkness. Overall, I thought this film was spectacular. Especially Zachary Quinto portraying Spock. Below are some scenes that I like:    

Spock fights the new Kahn

   I like Spock yelling "Khan!" but I could not find a shorter scene, so here's the best I could find.

The movie was good because it was a combination of action and actors I like. The Khan part was  a twist, because the original Khan had a Spanish accent, wore leather vest (when he wore a shirt at all) and had big feathered hair where this Khan was played by the actor who is Sherlock Holmes on the new BBC show Sherlock. In the old Star Trek movie about Khan Captain Kirk was the one who yelled "KHAN!" and Spock died, but in this one it was reversed. Plus there was a lot of fighting and explosions and it was pretty fun to watch it on the big screen. I recommned it as even old people like it too so it's a good movie to see with the whole family.

Here's the original Khan and Kirk. Notice Kirk's rage, and notice that sweater. I'd be mad too.
