PREVIEW: Star Trek: Into Darkness

Relentless. Exciting. Epic.

These are the words cast and crew of the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness feature are using to describe the film in a first look featurette that Paramount Pictures has released on YouTube.

The film, which hits theatres on May 17, just looks better and better with each clip that’s teased out by the studio. Throw in Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain and director JJ Abrams getting better and more comfortable with helming big, story-driven effects films (which bodes well for Star Wars Episode VII, we hope) and I don’t know that sci-fi fans can get more excited for what promises to be one of these signature popcorn films of 2013.

Are you ready to beam up for this one?
