This Capital Geek Girl movie review is by Geek Girl MJ, owner of Bake It So Bakery. She got to see the new Star Trek movie before the rest of us and had a lot to say, so I asked her to share her thoughts in a review; here it is.
MJ REVIEWS STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS

I need to say first off that I absolutely acknowledge that my Star Trek knowledge is not as vast as so many others out there. I’ve always been a Star Wars kid; that being said, I do love my Trek.
When I went to the screening of Iron Man 3 last month, I thought to myself, ‘Man, that is setting the bar pretty high for the other summer movie competition!’. Well, J.J. Abrams took that bar, set fire to it, used it to draw a line in the sand and then dropped it like a mic. Abrams out.
I want to avoid any spoilers because no one likes those. If they did they’d be called “Information Gifts” instead of spoilers. I purposely avoided trailers so I could go in with a totally open mind and let the movie unfold and try to take me along with it. Into Darkness had me completely immersed within the first 5 minutes and I stayed there, right on board the Enterprise for the whole 127 minutes. The movie moved at a good pace and didn’t feel like it was dragging me anywhere. There were solid performances given by all of the main crew, with fairly good performances by Peter Weller and Alice Eve. Benedict Cumberbatch created a stellar character as a top-notch villain and disappoints no one. Indeed all of the awesome you love about him as Sherlock Holmes [from the BBC series, Sherlock] is here with so much more awesome added on top of that.
