Star Trek: Into Darkness, Great Sequel But Falls Short From The Mark

James "Bubba" Meeks — Thu, 16 May 2013 16:09:35 +0000

Star Trek: Into Darkness is a sequel to J.J Abrams’ 2009 “reboot” of the franchise. I put reboot in quotations because I don’t really consider it a restart of the series. I consider the new films set in their own alternate timeline because one of stamps the series was famous for was alternate realities and time travel.
