My lord.

Best. Effing. Movie. Of the year (yes, I'm aware we're only in June, but I'm thinking the only contender right now may be the second Hobbit movie in December). So bleeping awesome I went and saw it twice! On Tuesday and again today. Spectacular movie.

The first time, I went in utterly unaware (however, my brother saw it...so the reaction was kind of like this: [link]. That'd be him, the dude in the back. However, my expressions weren't ones of just horror but a whole damn gambit). Awesome awesome AWESOME the first time.

Even better the second, since I went in having watched the pertaining episode of Star Trek the original series (no spoilers to be found here, no sir) and rewatched (half) of the first movie (which I finished tonight). I still laughed, even though I knew the jokes, still cheered for Kirk at a certain point I won't spoil, still sat on the edge of my seat, still sprinted for the bathroom when I had to instead of leisurely meandering that ways because I couldn't stand to miss a moment of the movie.

There's going to be a third one. Though Abrams seems to have gotten caught up with Star Wars, so it's unclear if he'll be directing (I hope he does, 'cause I don't want them to change a thing, it's that awesome). There will be Klingons. I know it. There's too much foreshadowing in Into Darkness for there not to be. Also, this article hints heavily.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but there's a nice homage to Ray Bradbury in there. And I've renamed the U.S.S Vengeance (the big black ship) the U.S.S. Chainsaw (it seriously sounds just like one...I know what they recorded to make it...).

If you haven't seen this movie and are a Sci-Fi fan, get your ass in gear and watch it. It's epic. If you have seen it, thoughts?

I will also mention, if I get a discussion going in the comments, there will most likely be spoilers.
