Also the way he executed his plan showed a lot more cutting edge creativity than especially most modern blockbusters, not to say it's done nearly to the same level of genius but something I haven't felt in a villain's characterisation/acting since The Dark Knight. The villain was very interesting and the development, dialogue and motivations of his character were very convincing and inventive, Cumberbatch's fantastic acting greatly helped bring this character to life. Abrams' lens flares helped create more realism in a lot of the scenes despite the fact he often overuses of them. As well as this, despite not being a proper Trekkie myself, some moments gave me goosebumps from the awesomeness from seeing the Enterprise for the first time for example, which greatly honoured the original series. The film has some cliché moments which can't be avoided often with a film this scale however they make use of them well and still pack plenty of surprises. The direction, cinematography and visual effects were all greatly innovative and brilliant the screenplay fun, often humorous and has a lot of heart for all its characters which are all really well developed. The acting was great all round, especially Cumberbatch - wow, he was superb. Truly spectacular, one of those rare amazing, inventive and often unpredictable blockbusters.
