Star Trek Into Darkness 2013
As though he knew making fans wait four years was a bit much, JJ Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness starts out quick and never lets up. We wanted bigger and better, and that’s what he delivers.

PS - You might learn something about yourself depending on which character you choose to side with.

Also, there's the fact that you may have made one of the funniest films of all-time, and that totally works against you. I mean, it's as though…
