I was not a Star Trek fan until the summer of 2008 when we got J.J. Abramsfirst installment of the Star Trek franchise. Now? Full blown "Trekkie" I have become! Now the second round is here and I will be there tonight battling for a great set with the rest of the dorks!

The second J.J. Abrams movie starts off with Kirk violating the Prime Directive in order to save Spock from dying in an active volcano, but it quickly moves on to a hunt for a rogue Star Fleet agent who attacks Star Fleet from within.

The villain in this one is Benedict Cumberbatch, from the BBC series "Sherlock".  For months there'd been speculation that he's playing Khan, but all Paramount would admit is that he's an "intergalactic terrorist" named John Harrison.

After attacking Earth, the terrorist retreats to a Klingon planet and the Enterprise has to risk violating Klingon space to hunt him down.  "Robocop's" Peter Weller plays the Star Fleet Admiral who sends Kirk after him.

The returning cast is Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Simon Pegg as Scotty, John Cho as Sulu, Anton Yelchin as Chekov, and Bruce Greenwood as Admiral Christopher Pike.
