JJ Abrams’s second Star Trek outing (a third is in the pipeline) is fine as long as you’re not too fond of Star Trek . Â Â Â Â
It may be an Abba-free zone, but this sweet Mediterranean romance has so much in common with Mamma Mia (Pierce Brosnan included) that it could have been marketed as a remake. Â Â Â Â
Okay, it’s not as invigorating as JJ Abrams’s first Trek reboot, but it’s still a deft cocktail of humour and action. And, more crucially, the chemistry between Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) still crackles. The crew off the USS Enterprise are on a manhunt for Benedict Cumberbatch’s super-soldier/terrorist who is giving Starfleet a headache with his explosive activity.
Tobias Lindholm’s claustrophobic, gripping hostage drama centres on a ship’s chef (Pilou Asbaek, the spin doctor in Borgen) and a control-freak CEO (Soren Maling), who negotiates from a sterile office in Copenhagen.
Everyone’s clearly having a blast on this outrageous HBO show. Antony Starr channels Martin Riggs and Jack Reacher as the former jewel thief who, after being released from prison, makes his way to the corrupt Wild West town of Banshee.
