Film Review

Tonight's film, from the ship's on-demand library for in-cabin viewing, was Star Trek, Into Darkness. This is another of the prequel films featuring the young Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Uhura, Bones, Scotty, etc. as they deal with the young Khan as villain.

This film is pleasant without in any way being profound. Nice special effects, but somewhat under imagined aliens all of whom seem to be bipedal quasi-primates with odd faces - a highly unlikely outcome.

Hollywood manages to drag out a favorite cliche in the form of a Federation admiral who wants to start a war with the Klingons. General officers are often the last to want to take their forces to war, in the real world.
