So you may have seen our official, in-depth
Star Trek Into Darkness review posted a few days ago. But what’s that you say? Tl; dr? Right, so what would you prefer? A quick, short review cut down into bite-size chunks and, I don’t know, accompanied by funny moving pictures? (*sigh*) Make it so...

Right from the very first scene, which sees Kirk and Bones sprinting through bright red flora to escape from a primitive alien tribe, Star Trek Into Darkness proves to be a film of relentless adventure. It’s non-stop action through and through, and, once this opening chase sets the pace, the film seems to always be constantly accelerating. As such, the film spends all of its time going somewhere; and it goes quickly, it goes loudly and it goes spectacularly. The only problem is that it never seems to live up to the franchise’s original mission statement and go
boldly.

Spoiler alert! Well, it's not actually a spoiler, because we don't know the plot of
Star Trek Into Darkness yet. But if it shows what we think it shows, then yeah, the movie's spoiled.
Already.

Three ways to enter and win Unstoppable on DVD, a movie that's about a runaway train that's never comin' back - wrong way down a one-way track. Yet again, Soul Asylum prove to be eerily prescient.

If new juggernaut Train A leaves the yard on full throttle carrying explosive chemicals, and tough old Train B leaves from the opposite end of the track carrying Malcolm X and Captain Kirk, how long before we start to take any of this seriously? This is the question posed by Tony Scott's Trainstopping, and the answer is: we can't. It's all just too damn silly.

And yes, I already know how nerdy the title of this article is, thank you very much.

Worlds collide and the sky collapses, as Captain Kirk becomes Indiana Jones! Well, the new Star Trek's Kirk, Chris Pine, is rumoured to be taking on the Jack Ryan mantle, the role made famous by Harrison Ford. No, you're right, that's not as exciting as I made it sound.
