Great movie!! Picture and sound is amazing!! Good buy

This is a great movie made even better by the use of 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos Surround. To really get the benefits of this disc you'll have to have a 4K HDR Blu-Ray Player (MOST 4K players are NOT HDR - there are only 5 or so of those available currently) as well as a TV capable of HDR. Again, most 4K TV's are NOT HDR TV's. In order to get the advantage of Dolby Atmos sound you'd have to have a Receiver capable of Dolby Atmos and a Dolby Atmos Speaker setup. If you just have a 4K Player and 4K TV but not HDR, you won't notice that much difference than the standard Blu-Ray but there will be some. HDR and Dolby Atmos are what really make this specific disc set better than the normal Blu-Ray. Highly recommended if you got the right equipment - excellent use of sight and sound!

Being a star trek fan had to add this movie to my collection great storyline and a lot of action

excellent science fiction movie based on a classic of the genre !!! but a little aggressive!

Star Trek Into Darkness was a good follow up to the first film in this franchise reboot. This film had just as much entertainment value as the first one, despite lacking in creativity and originality compared to the first. Some may have a problem with Cumberbatch as Khan, but I thought he was quite good. The UHD presentation was a solid upgrade compared to the standard SDR blu-ray. The notable addition of the IMAX sequences was truly appreciated, especially with the increased resolution and dynamics offered from UHD. The varying aspect ratio was something I really looked forward to because I knew that it only meant an increase in picture fidelity due to the IMAX camera. This was a worthwhile upgrade to from the standard Blu-ray.

a great Star Trek thriller, Benjamin Cumberbatch is excellent playing the bad guy.

Great 4K movie, especially in the Imax scenes! Recommend for your 4K collection.

I base my movie reviews on whether or not I enjoyed the movie - I don't pick them a part for minor issues. That being said, I really did enjoy this movie. Yes, the special effects are very cool, but I think this plays second to the story. The story is what kept me watching. To see the Star Trek universe (I was never a big fan of the original series) with familiar characters turned around a bit is refreshing. Reimagining Khan worked well - I was worried since The Wrath of Khan was my favorite of the original movies by far - within the framework of the story. I like the JJ Abrams has made the changes he has to the franchise. It makes the newer movies much more enjoyable to non Star Trek fans. If you enjoy a good science fiction movie you will like this one. It doesn't matter if you're a Star Trek fan or not.

This movie has the same great content as the standard with great 4K textures.

-SPOILER ALERT!-Proceed at your own risk. In many ways Into Darkness is an alternate reality version of Star Trek II Wrath of Khan. I own both films and although I prefer Wrath of Khan (which I highly recommend) Into Darkness still belongs in every Star Trek library (along with J.J. Abrams Star Trek 2009). Speaking of which, I highly recommend watching both Star Trek II Wrath of Khan and Star Trek 2009 first to fully appreciate the character and plot development of Into Darkness. For the dedicated Star Trek fan, Into Darkness may appear to have too much predictability in its plot development having seen many such elements and devices in previous Star Trek films/episodes. On the other hand, it is still J.J. Abrams and Star Trek and that means ENTERTAINMENT!

Recently acquired a HDTV and decided to buy some HD movies. Doesn’t disappoint.

I was never a fan of the old Star Trek movies but love this one for sure

Overall it was a very good movie but Benedict was a bit too much for me.

Let me just say this first, too much lens flare. Now that's out if the way,STID is a fun action packed film, with a great cast and a terrific villain in Khan, in a great performance by Benedict Cumberbatch. Still, was disappointed that Abrams lied about it being not like Wrath of Khan, but at least this film is great! The picture and audio quality is top of the line demo material, and a 3D release that is among the better up conversion s out there, and great sound field to get lost in for days. The extras, on the other hand, were botched from the get go, with different stores getting exclusives that was a cheap ploy to get us to buy every version to get everything. This BBY exclusive has some nice featurettes, and the standard bluray release also has some nice featurettes, but you had to buy a version from target for a bonus disc of featurettes, an Xbox live version for some deleted scenes and a featurette or two and an iTunes version for the commentary. Thank God the Compendium set includes almost everything from those releases except the Xbox Live material.

I loved this movie. I thought since JJ Abrams created an alternate Star Trek reality with the first Star Trek movie, then it was only natural for there to be another entry with this villain. It was smart, action packed and totally worth it. Those who feel Mr. Abrams treads on holy territory need to get over it. He took a familiar story and character and brought it to life for a new generation. If you are frozen in the past well I know that movie is on BluRay you can go ahead and buy that and enjoy it to your hearts content. For those who want a new take on a familiar villain I recommend this. Do not get me wrong I LOVE the original too. I just am not as closed minded to remakes and/or reboots. I love seeing another persons interpretation of the source material.

If you're a serious fan of Star Trek and dress up for comic con, can speak Klingon, and know what the current federation star date is.... You probably had your own notions about this movie weeks before it came out. For the rest of us, this movie introduces you to a familiar character that is almost as famous as Kirk, a man named Khan. The plot twist in this movie is awesome if you haven't seen the Star Trek movies but if you have, you might find yourself asking, "really jj Abrams?, that's what you decided to do? Alright but try harder with the next movie" either way I still found it greatly entertaining because I choose to be entertained rather than get hung up on writing inadequacy ( got a lot of practice with the expendables series)

if you dont watch in 4k hdr you are missing out on something special

This was a fantastic reboot of one of the original stories. The cast work SO well as the characters they're intended to play but with enough here-and-now that they work perfectly. The addition of Benedict Cumberbatch in this film made it for me. I think he's a wonderful actor and played his role exquisitely in the film. Would have liked a little more back story since this is a reboot and not something that people should be expected to know the story going in. I don't often watch movies more than once or twice after I buy them, but this is one of those exceptions. I was raised on the original series and grew up during TNG. I LOVE Star Trek and this was a quality tribute to what it is at it's core.

This is the second purchase of this film for me, I bought it because it was offered in 3-D for $10, with all the bells and whistles. I'm not going to review the movie, but the 3-D. I really enjoyed it. I've read that the 3-D was an afterthought. I have a hard time believing this, just because the way it was filmed. To me, the image popped off the screen, or rather into a window, because most 3-D really should be viewed as a window looking in, not the other way around. Either way I thought the conversion worked very well and I'm glad I repurchased this. So for those of you who are looking to purchase a 3-D film, I would recommend this.

The BR is a great transfer to an already great film. JJ's take on the Trek-verse continues its hit streak with another great take on existing mythology. Without spoilers, Benedict Cumberbatch has become the best villain in existing Trek canon and all the while the writers pay out little tidbits and shoutouts to the fans, keeping the action fast-paced, the story tight, and the viewer on the edge of their seat. The cast from the previous movie has returned and appear much more settled in their roles this time around. The CG is great, but not overwhelming. An overall great time. I've been a fans since TOS and this is handily the best film in the Trek series yet. Grab it if you haven't already.
