Adequate next edition in a great franchise that was rebooted a few years ago in Star Trek. I have never been a true Trekkie, but do enjoy the films. Kirk et al. get enmeshed in a plot by the military industry to start war in order to justify the existence of the military industry. In that respect, we are subtly pointed to look at current events for parallels. Kirk begins to make moral choices, bucking authority in the process, and helps Starfleet develop into a largely peaceful organization. At the same time, we get backstory on Kahn. The main effect of this backstory is the make me want to go watch some of the original film Kahn to really understand the references. Maybe a late night summer project. A solid entry in the sequence, but I still have my socks on.
