"Star Trek Into Darkness" is one of the most anticipated movies of the year and it is only a few months away from its official release. During screenings of "The Hobbit" in December, Paramount unleashed the opening nine minutes of the film which were filled with action, but failed to answer the biggest question surround the film: Who is Benedict Cumberbatch's John Harrison? It seems that Paramount has screened more of the film for other industry insiders but chose to show off the first 30 minutes of the film. However, it seems that no new information was revealed about the villain.
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT
Regarding the villain, publication Bleeding Cool writes, "The big question - who is Benedict Cumberbatch playing? - is still out there. Unless, against the flow of all speculation, he really is just a rogue Starfleet officer called John Harrison.
"A rogue Starfleet officer who uses terrorism as readily as he uses a starship. A dark reflection of Kirk. It's a possible - but he does seem to be alone against the whole Enterprise crew," adds the publication.
Digital Spy adds, "We learned very little new info about Benedict Cumberbatch's John Harrison, although we can confirm that the 'one-man weapon of mass destruction' moniker is accurate. He also seems to have some very, very powerful blood running through his veins, in the superhuman sense. "
Both publications note that the first half-hour is a non-stop thrill ride. Digital Spy adds that Captain Kirk loses his captaincy and is told you don't respect the chair because you're not ready for it." Kirk is also accused of "playing God."
Bleeding Cool concludes that "this teaser was undeniably thrilling, and it left me wanting more - and soon... I will definitely be there to see all that running and jumping and exploding in two months' time. I urge you to see it too."
