Director: JJ Abrams
Synopsis
After the critical and financial success of JJ Abrams’s giddily thrilling ‘Star Trek’ reboot, it seemed likely that the promised sequel would see a warp-speed turnaround. But that never happened: it took two years for the script to be finalised and for Abrams to commit to directing. Plot details remain sketchy, but when the film does finally arrive, expect more of what we got in the first one: square jaws, sharp dialogue, searing CGI, strong casting and plenty of sneaky references to the original series – plus, very possibly, an appearance from Benicio del Toro as everyone’s favourite seven-foot space psycho – altogether now – ‘Khaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!’.
