Star Trek: Into Darkness

Have you ever watched Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn? In my opinion it is one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made. The heroes and the villain are original and fantastic in their roles.

...But that is an older movie and a new generation is making its attempt "To explore new worlds and new civilizations... To bravely go where no man has gone before."

Enter this year's theatrical release, (unlike its predecessor) Into Darkness was stellar! The cast did a phenomenal job and the story was a clever re-imagining of Kahn. They inserted a lot of elements that only Trekkies would pick up on, and I enjoyed that, too! I won't give any spoilers but I felt it was worth recommending this film. I am definitely getting a copy of this on DVD.

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24

In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.

I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.
