  1. 'Star Trek Into Darkness' a worthy enterprise, critics say

    It wouldn't be quite accurate to say that J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" reboot boldly went where no man had gone before. After all, such familiar faces such as Capt. Kirk, Mr. Spock and Uhura were along for the ride (though played by new actors), as was the venerable starship Enterprise (itself sporting a makeover). But thanks to some shrewd time-travel shenanigans, Abrams managed to branch off his own "Star Trek" timeline, allowing his version to draw on the franchise's mythos without having to carry all its baggage. The result was both well-reviewed and a box-office hit.

  10. Review: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' ramps up action, leaves room for heart

    "Star Trek Into Darkness," bursting at the seams with enemies, wears its politics, its mettle, its moxie and its heart on its ginormous 3-D sleeve. Director J.J. Abrams and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise try to build a better sequel with action spectacles to get lost in, clever asides to amuse, emotional waves to ride and allusions to terrorism in general and 9/11 specifically.

  11. 'Star Trek Into Darkness' shows J.J. Abrams' flair for lens flares

    Every filmmaker in Hollywood worth his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_cut_privilege">final cut</a> has a signature visual flourish that functions something like a filmic fingerprint. For Martin Scorsese, it&rsquo;s the long, uninterrupted tracking shot. For John Woo, the balletic deployment of two-handed gun violence. Wes Anderson never met a painterly tableau he didn&rsquo;t like. And Steven Spielberg favors the slow zoom in just about every one of his movies.
