Star Trek beyond is the best in the new Star Trek trilogy, I was blown away by the action and cgi, and the intense edge of your seat thrills, I was entertained from beginning to end.

Also, in general, I really enjoy the science fiction/action/adventure genres so it was no surprise that I enjoyed Star Trek: Beyond. Even though the ending is predictable and there are a few plot-logic flaws, I enjoyed the action, the dialogue and the acting of the main characters. I have watched a few Star Trek: The Original Series episodes, as well as a few of Star Trek: The Next Generation Episodes, and I feel like this movie was just like an extended episode from the series. Overall, I recommend you give it a try. On a side note: I watched Star Trek: Beyond during opening weekend, on a Sunday, but waited until now to post my review.… Expand

It wasn't as good as the first Star Trek movie, in my personal opinion, it was better than the second one. It is a very good movie. There is a lot of great action, and this movie has some serious character development, especially between two major characters. I won't spoil anything, but it has some MAJOR callbacks to the original series. So any Trekkies who loves the first TV series, you should really go see this.… Expand

1. Their spaceship is the U.S.S. Enterprise. Now guess what: the U.S.S. stands for "United States Ship" in nautical parlance. But we are led to believe the Enterprise is merely part of the Federation Starfleet. If that is the case, the U.S.S. designation should be dropped.

2. The writers for Star Trek are (usually) careful when they assign rank designations to the characters in the movie. The commanding officer of a starship, for example is a captain (remember Captain Picard in the TV series?). A captain in the navy has four stripes on the cuff of his sleeve, and Picard had 4 buttons on his collar (close enough). The officer just below the captain has the rank of commander (remember Commander Riker in series 2 - 7?) A navy commander has three stripes on the cuff of his sleeve, and Riker had three buttons on his collar (again, close enough).

Now to Star Trek Beyond. Early in the movie Captain Kirk docks the Enterprise at a huge star base to consult with his superior about an upcoming mission. His superior--a woman--holds the rank of commodore. That is the equivalent of a one-star admiral, just one rank above captain. But now things start to get messy. The commodore says she will consult with "the council" to get Kirk promoted to vice admiral. Huh? A vice admiral has three stars and is senior to all commodores and rear admirals. How is it that Kirk can simply jump from captain to three-star admiral?… Expand

No it was not as good as many of the previous Star Trek films I’ve seen, but it was not terrible either. I did keep thinking, though, that many of these actors must have long term contracts, since they seemed just a little bored, especially Chris Pine. This comment does not apply to Simon Pegg, but he may have had a bigger stake in the game since he also worked on the script. Best of all, though, was Sofia Boutella as Jaylah, and I wondered why Krall had so much energy and was so interesting, until I realized it was the great Idris Elba. I pined for the old cast, none of whom were as lithe and slick as the younger generation, but all of whom had more humanity and personality. Still, there was plenty of action to keep me awake and I enjoyed myself.… Expand

What makes this entry special is the amazing writing. I won's spoil anything, but many characters are split during the movie, and their interaction with each other is fantastic, and it constantly is funny. The action is intense as well, and the special effects are amazing. My main problem with this movie is that it feels inconsequential, it could have done more exploring the planet(s) it took place on and could have maybe shown how they had more of an impact, but I think most people can get over this. I also would have liked to see how they are going to continue the series. I wish there were a bit more indication, but regardless this is definitely a buy on blue ray this holiday and I would say I recommend it for any fans of si-f movies with fun action and good writing.… Expand

Unlike its predecessor, Beyond adopts a rather light tone and funnier lines along the way, and feels a little more like Hollywood (not that it is always a bad thing).
Not that it was as good as the first one, but I enjoyed this film. I can imagine watching it again and it has quite a bit of entertainment value. The plot and characters were good as well. Also, why would I forget about the villain destroying the ship toward the beginning (which leads me to the overall problems in this movie)?
The scene I was referring to would have been much more powerful toward the end where it could have signaled the height of the conflict and their test of teamwork. Instead, they took the standard Hollywood blockbuster route, where the characters really only take a beating at the beginning and come back through the rest of the film. It also took a little too long to find the plot. I am perhaps missing some of the other minor problems with Beyond, but those were the ones I needed to cover. With all that said, I'll grant it a seal of acknowledgement.… Expand

The characters once again shine in their roles and performances. This proves just how far the crew have grown to work with each other and move on from their previous conflicts. The only character that felt weak to me was the villain, Krawl, who had a weak motivation and felt very generic. The special effects shine out as the new worlds, spaceships, and vehicles look so spectacular. The new alien races look good with memorable character designs, and adds originality to the franchise. The soundtrack is also the weakest the the trilogy. While I like it just fine, some of the pieces just don't fit in with whats going on. Besides that, it works and sounds good. Action scenes are also pretty fun, with them being shot well, and tension added to make it more entertaining. Overall while not the best in the trilogy, it's still an epic film, and I would recommend it.… Expand

Médaille OR !! Star Trek Sans limites
Même si Star trek c'est à la base de l'exploration. Le seul moyen d'en faire un blokbuster c'est de mettre de la guerre.

Pretty good flick. Saw it in the IMAX with my family. Had I known some joker would have his bright cell phone out for half of the movie and cause a distraction, I would have waited to watch this at home in my own theater setup.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this was quite an entertaining watch - some of the foreign accents (Russian and Scottish) made me smirk a little as they didn't sound entirely authentic, shall I say. However, the special effects are quite decent, I quite liked the wandering/free floating style of camerawork and the pace is relatively fast once the plot gets going. Its a fairly engrossing watch with some impressive landscapes/cinematography, some reasonably good dialogue and I did find myself feeling concerned for the characters, so overall I thought it was a good film thats worth a watch.… Expand

This movie suffers from the fact that it came out right after the untimely passing of a couple beloved folks. It’s great fun now that time has been allowed to pass. Sad we don’t have another one.

Absolutely the best in the trilogy, Beyond manages to capture a little bit of that classic Star Trek feel. A flawed, but ultimately good film.
