With Star Trek Into Darkness out in the UK, most of Europe and Australia now (sorry US friends), the Total Film team decided to sit down and scrutinise the reboot sequel in minutely geeky detail.

Now, before you go any further and even think about clicking on the play button below, be warned: the discussion is MASSIVELY, MASSIVELY SPOILERY.

If you haven’t already seen the film, avoid watching the video at all costs - not only will it diminish some of Into Darkness ' most thrilling surprises, it also probably won’t make a whole lot of sense.

  • Disclosure Day Steven Spielberg is at his unsettling best in Disclosure Day's Super Bowl trailer
  • Colin Firth in Disclosure Day Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day gets a new trailer full of alien tech, psychic powers, and more weirdness

The whole point of it is to start up a big ol’ debate AFTER you’ve seen the film.

So, if you’re still reading, we’re going to have to presume that you have your Star Trek Into Darkness ticket stub in your pocket, and are ready to get involved.

Watch on for Team TF’s in-depth look into the characters, action and twists of Star Trek Into Darkness , and an answer to the ultimate question, ‘What does it mean with regards to Star Wars Episode VII ?'
