Movie Specs:
Rating- PG-13
Length- 2hrs 9 mins

Review:
While Chris Pine was impressive his more dramatic role, the shining star of this film was clearly Benedict Cumberbatch who played a hard-to-hate and mesmerizing villain. The director clearly banked on the great cast dynamic (adorable Simon Pegg!) rather than fill movie time with special effects. This latest installment gives an exciting glimpse of the new heights this old franchise could reach.

Fave Character:
Benedict Cumberbatch as John Harrison

Fave Quote:
John Harrison: I am better.
Kirk: At what?
John Harrison: Everything.
