Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Check out the all new STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS page at SET-JETTER.COM














Although I don't think it lived up to the greatness of the first Star Trek (2009) (click the link for those locations), I did enjoy the sequel and thought it was a worthy follow up.    First up, an often-photographed location, the Greystone Mansion stood in for the Royal Children's Hospital....

The archive building was also used as the bridal shop in Bridesmaids...

While some of Starfleet was shot at the Getty Center, the Crystal Cathedral welcoming center was also used for some interiors...

And exteriors...

For Star Trek fans, here are some of the plaques they have up at Paramount Studios from all the Star Trek incarnations....






And some of the Star Trek cast & crew I have seen or met....
