Star Trek Beyond is a very generic blockbuster-type film. The effects and CGI are okay and the performances are fine (though some of the accents are dodgy - looking at you Scotty!) and it doesn't embarrass itself too much, but plot felt unfocused. My main gripe, however, is the lack of heart. Some of the recent Star Trek films have been great, and Star Trek: Discovery is a great series, but Beyond fails to pull you in in the same way. It doesn't speak to overarching themes, or make you feel proud, or excited, or even really feel anything at all. It's generic and dull and even feels a touch unrehearsed and underwritten. I would say watch it, but make sure you've got your ipad with you on the sofa so you can play some games or something too, during the dull bits.
Vice versa. This movie is all about a will to stand together - Dr. McCoy and Spock developing friendship, Scotty's encounter with a stranger, and Captain James T. Kirk coming out of his father's shade and finding his purpose. More lighthearted that prequel but showing unity again. In this movie Spock once again deals with an ever-lasting dilemma between continuing Vulcan race and remaining on Enterprise with Nyota.
Love to see a JJ make a part 4 movie after star trek beyond. I thing the T.V. service was where no man has gone before be a good name for the next movie. saying this because I'm not into old 60's to 70's Star trek show. you do a way better making star trek movies then star wars ones. love the other two movies too 10 stars each
The original Star Trek was a 3-year TV Series. These big budget extravaganzas cost hundreds of millions as evidenced by the 5 movie studio's logos we have to sit through before the actual movie starts. Most of the action does not take place on the Enterprise the crew's penchant for destroying trillion dollar vessels seeming to continue as does Scotty's ability to get ancient relics back into space. Simon Pegg who plays Montgomery Scott had a hand in writing this one. Kirk, Bones and Spock are the essential trio and we learn of the death of Nimoy both in the script and in a memorial in the credits which also mention Anton on a first name basis only. The ability to survive space exploration does not extend to surviving old age or wonky earth technology. As the saying goes it blows up real good and in the movies sound still manages to travel through space.
