The film's overreliance on over-the-top action sequences to the detriment of meaningful substance and profound character development leaves one feeling terribly unsatisfied, longing for more from this mythic sci-fi series. Even though "Star Trek" has been going in a somewhat more adventure-oriented direction in its latest offerings, it's gone too far this time, scrapping what has traditionally made it work so effectively in favor of cheap pyrotechnic theatrics and fight scenes. Wait for the DVD. Expand

Star Trek Beyond is another CGI action-fest that should've ended 25 minutes earlier if that's all it wanted to be. The callous way matters of the heart were weaved into it to make it seem like something of substance bordered pathetic.

Background: I have seen all of the previous twelve films except for Nemesis, which was a dud, I read. I do not particularly try to watch the many TV series and I am not a Trekkie.

Pros: There are some nice visual effects of the attack on the Enterprise.

Cons:
(1) The JJ Abrams-inspired new series of films have stunts that are getting less and less believable. Star Trek (2009) had some great stunts. Into Darkness had repeated some of the stunts and they felt a bit stale and less plausible. This film had gone in a slightly different direction, but its stunts had become too far-fetched.

(2) The plot, Jaylah, the villain and the doomsday device were poorly explained, the latter being a real MacGuffin.

(3) Two of the major locations in the film were, again, not believable, one being a planet that conveniently had breathable air and another being a space station that's so big that it would have cost an immeasurable amount of money to build. Think Death Star 2.

(4) Chris Pine actually looked bored in this film and pudgy, and I don't think it was acting. It was more likely due to an drinking problem, in real live.

Who would think the film is great? Young adults and kids.
Who would think the film is only so-so? Trekkies and older adults
Who would think the film is lousy? No one.

Rating: 3/5 (no half scores). Save your money and watch it on TV.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie has nothing much in common with the real Star Trek Universe. So many erros and logical drops degrades this flic to pure trash.

CAREFULL SPOILER:
Spock has a foto of the TOS Cast? A spaceship can ram whole mountains without a shield ?
A spaceship corroding over 100 years somewhere does ignite like a charm.
...

There are so many moments where I said **** this movie is a C class trash movie without the accuracy from Roddenberries originals.

Someone did not do their homework when it came to scaling gigantic starships and even more giant dyson-sphere-like settings with each other, with human beings, etc. A starship that would be huge in outer space was reduced to a ridiculously smaller scale when planet bound, inside a space station, or crashed on a planet. Just plain sloppy. Expand

It was so cheesy in the best way possible. The special effects were great, the costumes were great and the set design was great. It just felt a bit empty in some places. Like they had a lot of ideas and not enough time to execute them in the movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was kind of meh, it has spectacular special effect and lots of action but is completely lacking in an interesting story-line or any character development whatsoever. I am a huge fan of all the Star Trek TV series (Enterprise excepted) and this movie really does not have the feel of a Star Trek movie at all. This movie feels a lot more like Star Wars somewhere from Episode I-III or Post Episode VII since the character. Really, it's like they took any old action space movie and just threw a few of the Star Trek characters in just so they could ride on the Star Trek franchise name, this could have been any sci-fi action movie and maybe I'd like it more if it wasn't pretending to be a Star Trek movie. Therefore I give it an average rating, I didn't feel like I wasted my time but I didn't feel like I saw a Star Trek movie either.

Spoilers:

The initial battle scene where the Enterprise is utterly destroyed against a force which is so overpowering that fighting back is futile (no borg pun intended) is so over-the-top that it is really not believable that anyone could survive that sort of attack.

The parts where Spock is crying out in pain and especially the one where he is crying is an insult to the pre-reboot TV series and movies.

The characters bring great depth to the already amazing plot. While the first two movies didn't particularly focus on the federations exploration and the key task of the USS Enterprise, this movie shows a lighter side of what the enterprise crew faces, and what the federation brings to the unknown frontier. There is no shortage of humor or action to boot. Spock's emotions are increasingly becoming more human throughout the movies, and that is something to truly fall in love with and feel with the conflicting character. If some may remember, and don't quote me exactly on this but Shatner as Kirk once said "Of all the souls I've encountered in my travels, his was the most....human." It's on thing to watch a movie, but to sit there and feel like you are right there with the characters in the movie is a new high, and Star Trek Beyond delivers that. So please go and enjoy the movie like so many others are, so that they will continue to improve and make greater Star Trek feature films that we can all love and enjoy for generations to come. Expand

Star Trek might go a bit too beyond from its original formula -- but it works with a more up-to-date balance between action, and the much improved character depth.

Star Trek was originally a show that explored the basics of morality. Complex dilemmas between cultures, religions & conflicts – even to basic questions regarding social norms and life itself. We might not have gotten that much of it in this, nor the previous two flicks – but it paid a massive respect to its roots and its legacy (it’s the shows 50th anniversary). It’s finally (somewhat) a movie for “trekkies”. ‘Star Trek Beyond’ goes much deeper into the crew than its predecessors. It’s a very fast-paced flick, but it simultaneously catches the splendid character moments. It’s a masterful balance! The film establishes the story one piece at a time, and it’s not fully understandable until in the final act. It’s the antagonist and his motivations that’s not shared until in the final sight. The visualization of the main villain “Krall” is very good – when finally understanding his motivations – which takes a while to know (some out there might even because of that, stay annoyed throughout the whole film). But the well hidden twist that awaits, is worthy a wait!

The basic premise of this film lies much more on characters than the plot itself. Splendid chemistry is a gigantic plus, but the plot could have been much more passionate. There could have been a more want-to to the plot, especially to the climax. To succeed against the villain, and the motivations behind it could have been much greater. Give it more emotion! A more personal conflict! More drama! Not just action and the “several million people could die if the villain will succeed-cliché”. The story also got some convenient events that just felt off – just so the plot can develop. The change in direction could be one miss shoot – but the film really shines with its renewed energy! It’s definitely the most action-packed ST-film to date! It’s way more playful than its predecessors, and the focus lies massively on quantity rather than J.J’s quality. On a personal level did ‘Star Trek Beyond’ feel a bit too uneventful for my taste, even though that there are some really big character moments. Yes, the action did work – but in the end I wasn’t that satisfied. There are some really inventive and intense action-pieces, meanwhile others are “meh” – especially the hand-to-hand combat. But I still adore this film – with its energy & fascinating characters. Yes, even more chemistry & character depth to smaller as big characters could have made this film even greater – including less expositions and much more humor! This film surpassed my expectations, because the trailers did show something that simply wasn’t this film. It might not surpass when it comes to story, but it does with characters!

Personal rating: 82/100
Critical rating: 75/100

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film reads like an episode of the original series, except longer and with the bigger budget. Overall the acting is excellent though the story is quite weak and pandering to the lowest denominator. We have a series of scenes that build to an obvious and unoriginal ending. The tone of the film is also quite bland as Kirk opens the film saying he hates the episodic nature of the Enterprises missions, ironically this is what the movie becomes. The loss of Anton Yelchin also weighed on me while watching, such a bright young star. Overall the film is well made, but suffers from being nothing more than a predictable and obvious chapter in the franchise. Expand

I thought the movie was very much character and action driven, it has a few really funny moments as well.
I did think it was quite light on the story side, there is some form of philosophical tension (which I won't go into because I don't want to give out any spoilers) but the ideological conflict feels forced and a bit thin. It's a missed opportunity really.
The end-result is a movie that will still have enough for most of the trekkies out there, and is also very accessible to the general audience.

This is welcome not only because it is a nice departure from the previous two films, but also because it makes it feel the most like the original series of these three movies. Fortunately, the cast from the previous movies are able to make this change in pace work, being as consistently likable and entertaining as they were in the previous films. Unfortunately, while the scale of the story is welcome, it struggles in the way of character development and themes, setting up some interesting ideas without exploring them for the rest of the movie. And while the previous two films were able to distract with brisk pacing and some well filmed action sequences, Justin Lin does not handle the action sequences well, especially in comparison to Abrams. Many of them are often disorienting and difficult to follow, which makes the narrative shortcomings even more apparent. All of this amounts to a film that makes some improvements upon its predecessors, but also takes many steps backwards, making it less enjoyable in many ways. Star Trek Beyond is still worth watching, but while the crew of the Enterprise boldly goes where no one has gone before, this film doesn't quite have the legs to fully live up to that legacy. Expand

Ah! Director Justin Lin and writer Simon Pegg breathe new life into the reboot series that JJ Abrams and Bob Orci nearly killed in the water. What an improvement over the plot-hole ridden, willfully stupid "Into Darkness"!

This is the first film of the "Star Trek" reboot that really seems like it gives two craps about the traditions of the franchise instead of rehashing them to pander to the audience, and it also happens to have a decent and not overly complex story, a ton of action, very good interplay between the iconic characters, and the old-fashioned pulpy adventure feel of the original series.

Unlike the ponderous rehash-riddled plot of "Into Darkness" or the over-the-top retconned AU fanfic origin story of the 2009 "Trek", this one drops the audience into a self-contained story right in the middle of the five-year mission and is all the better for it. Characters like Bones and Spock feel like they already have history, and the writing for them is especially on point, something that can't be said about "Into Darkness".

The action was silly and fun. The villain was interesting. The alien tech on display is also quite awesome. It truly seems like everyone was having a good time making this and I felt it was very entertaining. Even though at times the plot was predictable, no one thing took me out of the film and the performances alone were totally transporting. I can't say enough about how much more I enjoyed this than the ridiculous first two films in this reboot series. It really feels like this reboot has finally found its groove and I hope they keep it up for the recently-announced fourth film.

He is not as demanding as william shatner from what i can rember he still is great. Some of the standouts through is Karl urban as bones and Simon Pegg as Scotty. I also enjoyed the addition of jala. I thought she was super cool and i would like to see more of her character. A few small gripes i have are the villain is about as generic as can get. I mean whats up with Hollywood and generic villains. I felt that zachary quinto didn't brought a little more humor to his character than i would have liked he was still good as always though, Also The twist near the end where the villains revels his motivations are about as bland as they come. Still This movies is worth watching and is much better than into darkness which was not bad it still pares in comparison to this one and the first. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked this. The story and characters felt much more like actual Star Trek than he previous 2 in this re-boot series. There is still the problem of Quinto's Spock making out Vulcans to be the galaxy's most emotional creatures ever, but this is toned down to just the slightly off-beat decision to go save his girlfriend. A few strange dead-ends in the plot only came to me after the credits rolled (what happened to the Yorktown's rescue fleet, for example). The finale is still 'too Hollywood' but taken as a whole the story is engaging and the characters are interesting. Hopefully the success of Pegg's story heralds a trend that ACTUAL FANS of the source material are given prominent roles in bringing the making/remaking to the big-screen, instead of the merchandisers and bean-counters. As a standalone piece of entertainment 9/10, as a Star Trek piece, 7/10. Overall a solid 8/10. Expand

I would love to see more sci-fi film's hearkening to some of the earlier heydays of sci-fi where slow meandering plots were the name of the game.

Somehow this paints a more true to life image.

Still this film has plenty of pulse-pounding moments as you can't escape over 30 years of film making. They of course only add to the film making this an enjoyable blend of original and modern.

Directed by Justin Lin, who directed four entries in the Fast and Furious franchise, the film continues on the more fast paced and slightly bombastic feel of the rebooted franchise. Star Trek: Beyond is often funny, fast paced and action packed, and features a cool new villain. The film is also co-written by Simon Pegg, and thus has a lot more moments of humor, sometimes resembling the Marvel mold more than Star Trek.
Star Trek films have historically been inconsistent when it comes to humor, some like Star Trek: The Voyage Home or Star Trek (2009) have been very funny, and some like Star Trek: Wrath of Khan, forwent humor for seriousness. This film may just be the funniest Star Trek film yet, because it’s not quite as silly as some of the other films, but manages to have a lot of good quips. The film’s sense of humor is most likely a product of Simon Pegg co-writing the film, and that has proven to be a great decision. It should be stated that the humor does make Star Trek: Beyond feel slightly more like a summer blockbuster than a Star Trek film, and they are different.
Star Trek Beyond is structured slightly more like an action film, as the pacing grows in tempo until the end of the film when it culminates in a big finale. This is more consistent with the pacing of the rebooted franchise, however the film never quite elevates like the previous two films did. The action sequences in this film are very good, which comes as no surprise given that Lin, who is experienced in shooting action sequences was in the helm. One surprise of this film was the villain character, Krall.
The rebooted franchise of Star Trek movies has done an amazing job forming well-rounded villains. The villain in this film feels weak at the beginning, but as the film progresses his motives become more clear. Both Nero and Khan were good villains, and while Krall isn’t as well rounded he is a serviceable villain. That being said the other characters in the film aren’t very well developed, besides Captain Kirk, who is given some development.
All-in-all this is probably the weakest of the rebooted franchise in my opinion, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good movie, it is. Star Trek Beyond is very entertaining, fast paced, action-packed, funny, and has a very good villain. The film is a very good time at the theaters, and is fairly family friendly, for those who love summer blockbusters this is a perfect summer movie for you.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had low expectations going in based on what proved to be a misrepresentative trailer that foregrounded Kirk. Simon Pegg's scintillating script separates Kirk from his crew so that the warm interplay of their characters can be explored as an ensemble piece. When Kirk and an arguably stronger Jaylah (Sofia Boutella previous seen in Kingsman: The Secret Service) return in force in the third act to save the crew, his motivations to regain all those that he cares for and her deep trepidations as a former captive of the antagonist give palpable weight to a fast paced rescue scene.

I was struck at how good the special effects were in terms of their highly imaginative conception. There is no CGI for CGI's sake, but awesomeness for the sake of delivering impactful visual metaphor. I have witnessed a rare thing: epic science fiction conveyed in terms of pure cinema and ensemble relationships explored without a desperate rush to the next whizz-bang. I was mesmerized.

To put things in perspective my 10/10 isn't a 10 to offset the unfair average user score, but as I can't give it a 9.8 I will give it a 10 rather than a 9 even though it is by no means in the same league as an original first film in a franchise like ALIEN, Predator, or Blade Runner. I don't want to mark it down to a 9 just because it is another sequel to a rebooted franchise from a TV series. I don't want to be sneering. This is the best Star Trek movie ever made, and without wanting to enrage fanboys, is twice as good as Star Wars: The Force Awakens - which I thoroughly enjoyed but recognised was a safe retread of A New Hope with some gender swapped characters.

The antagonist does look like strips of Plasticine™ have been glued onto his face, but then the aliens of Star Trek were generally more humanoid than Star Wars (and, indeed Farscape) due to the restrictions of their 60's Desilu Production's TV episodic budget. So, in a way the entirely non humanoid aliens which appear at the outset of this movie are somewhat jarring and occasionally crew from the Enterprise or the Space Station draw you out of the narrative by looking inconsistently bizarre (i.e. a full blown alien cameo is glimpsed in a scene in which a standard ridged-nosed one would have drawn less attention and avoid distracting you from the plot). It is probably the movie's only fault that either be firmly in the camp of the 'aliens are really alien' like Star Wars, or how they were on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine with the focus on gradually investing in character relations. Put it this way, take Leia and Han out of Star Wars and you have got nothing, everyone else is a boring void of uninteresting or unexpressed motivation or pent up emo rage. The fact that people think Empire is the best in the series when Han gets "iced" for most of it, leaving Mr Can't Act to whine at Mr Muppet just demonstrates how overated the entire franchise must be when its best episode is so structurally flawed, underutilises all of its characters, and ends on a forlorn cliffhanger.

In contrast, Star Trek Beyond is a masterpiece combining all the best aspects of every Trek movie thus far in one harmonious package with a clear message of hope and unity prevailing over the savage frontier. It is all the better for a fourth act that acknowledges that the luxuries of the Federation may underpin its utopian dream and when confronted with survival without hope of rescue it is understandable that hope should turn to hate.

Doctor 'Bones' McCoy (Karl Urban), Jaylah (Sofia Boutella), Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott (Simon Pegg), and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana) give standout performances and deliver well crafted dialogue. I don't mind that Kirk (Chris Pine) isn't in the movie that much as I always felt he was miscast and would have liked Matt Damon in the Captain's chair instead. Perhaps, in another alternate reality...

Ignoring Into Darkness and giving fans a film that pays tribute to the show staying true to the characters, tone, and spirit of the show. The dynamics between the characters are fun, the action is entertaining but never too off the rails, and there are some nice moments of tribute to the original show that will make Trekies tear up. It may not have the flash and spectacle of the last two being a smaller and slower story, which may be a turn off to the casual moviegoer, but to those who love the original series there couldn’t be a better way to celebrate 50 years of Trek. Hopefully the trend continues Expand

Simon Pegg, being a true geek and sci-fi nut knows exactly how to please the fans and this film just keeps on giving and giving, never fizzling out and delivering a spectacular finale worthy of the franchise. Zulu's 'outing' is 'handled sensitively', without anything being 'rammed' down anyone's throats (ahem) and in it's context it just shows what a liberal, progressive place the federation is and reminds you what's at stake.

Yes, it's got hundreds of millions in technical cinematics but it's all undone by the juvenile nature of the imperative: Captain Kirk et al must always prevail in the end, no matter how implausible or just plain stupid. These can never be outstanding/classic films because of that - there's no element of genuine surprise. Star Trek follows the same plot formula every single time, the only thing that changes is the superficial layers of plot and nods to all facets of diversity. This type of entertainment can only appeal to the pre-teen/teen brain that hasn't developed sufficient capacity to critique. It's a shameless yet surefire money grab for that demographic's money - it never fails, but it never advances the art either. Yet, the writers ultimately know this. Near the end, Kirk even utters, "We change, we have to, or we spend the rest of our lives fighting the same battles." Amazing, hopefully that realization informs subsequent Trek films. Expand

ThereThe third Star Trek in the rebooted franchise is consistently mediocre. Several characters, important environments, and other significant portions of the plot are largely insignificant, and the action plays the biggest role out of all. There is little sense of wonder, dread, or satisfaction throughout the journey and at the conclusion of the film.

Chris Pine is yet again fantastic as James T. Kirk; he brings so much to his role and to the film as a whole. The remaining characters are static placeholders of their character descriptions and the representations in earlier movies. The villain is par for the course, and even though there is a fantastic actor behind the mask he has only the one role to fill.

The CGI is top-notch, but the action can be quite eye-rolling at times. The score is copy-paste of the previous two films; this isn't a negative, but nothing has been added to increase emotional impact.

I found myself in the third act without noticing or caring, and the penultimate scenes did not make me feel that I needed to watch the first two acts to notice new aspects or care more about how the film finished.

My childhood memories consist of watching the Star Trek series and the movies. In 2009, I was happy when J.J. Abrams rebooted the franchise in movie format. The first reboot, I liked. I loved the new characters. While the story was alright, I enjoyed the movie. Into Darkness was an alright movie, but I did not like them ripping off from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.

I love the fact that this movie has an original storyline, as well as elements from the Star Trek universe. I feel like, when J.J. Abrams was directing, that it was all about action and whatnot. Star Trek Beyond grasps what Star Trek was supposed to be like. The character development was fantastic. The Bones and Spock interaction was on point from what the original series was. The movie felt like a glorified two-part episode, which was fantastic. My girlfriend, while new to Star Trek, did not enjoy the first two reboots but she loved this movie. Go see it!

While the story wasn't completely strong the chemistry of the cast was. The visuals were also as strong as the great action, since all of JJ's beloved lens flares weren't in the way.

Spock missing older Spock from an alternate time line, was also a great tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy. Spoiler: I can also say that Sulu gay does not hurt the birth of his daughter, so relax nerds lol. The late Anton Yelchin (Fright Night) gets the most he got to do in any Star Trek film as Chekov as well.

Idris Elba (Luther) gets a mostly forgettable villain to play but at least he was an original villain, unlike Khan. Sofia Boutella kicks ass though as an alien allie named Jaylah.

I wouldn't even mind if Justin Lin returns as director over JJ. Since JJ has shown with Super 8, Into Darkness and Force Awakens that he is better at making tributes than original movies.

JJ's part 4 would probably have Kirk looking for whales, while searching for Spock. Then part 5 would have Spock's brother who is on a mission to find God lol.

TheStar Trek Beyond expands on its storytelling by making it less about space and more about planetary adventure. Rather than focusing the story around Kirk and Spock it makes an effort to bring other members of the crew into the spotlight. The tone of the movie is also brighter compared to previous movies; even sometimes feeling similar to Guardians of the Galaxy.

The plot however is vague and a bit bland. The whole picture doesn't come into focus until late into the movie. The villain's motive and his development is ambiguous; I'd say the least interesting out of the three movies.

Also every found technology in the movie magically works to fit the protagonist's needs.
"Scotty can you make this work?"
"Of course! I'd just need to make some minor adjustments."
Interplanetary technology apparently is a simple matter.

Overall an enjoyable movie experience and a commendable change of direction compared to previous installments.

This movie has it's basic action plot but it feels like it's made with more heart and knowledge of the Star Trek history than previous movies in this rebooted series.

After the initial action scene, the movie takes a little time to get you up to date with the crew's lives and it was a welcome change to previous movies that were hyperactive. Kirk isn't running everywhere like a headless chicken, he's more somber and calmly authoritative. I didn't get all the old school references since I'm not a trekkie, but they don't hit you on the head with them like in the awful Into Darkness. And the motorcycle from the trailers makes more sense in the movie.

This was a positive experience among all the bad summer movies.

The level of suspension of disbelief required is so astounding, I think you probably need to be on drugs to enjoy this – which Justin Lin is counting on. I am disappointed because I really liked JJ’s 2009 version, which was extremely entertaining. This however was just lame, feel made by like it was made by committee. I couldn’t figure out why the Army of Liberal Arts Majoring Critics loved this movie so much, but now it is obvious. It promotes Hollywood’s values so they overlook its faults. I really question Hollywood’s need to rub their politics in my face in one of the opening sequences. Yes, I agree with you!! But I don’t need to be lectured about homosexual equality in my Star Trek movie, because I know that is what you are doing and it is extremely distracting. Might I suggest you make a separate movie about Asian Homosexuals raising a girl and all the discrimination they endure and let me for a second escape CNN for a moment and let me enjoy a star trek movie, something Hollywood seems incapable of creating anymore.

A scheduled stop for maintenance at the Galactic Station, Yorktown changes all that, when a distress call received from space leads Captain Kirk, Lt. Spock, Engr. Scotty, Dr. McCoy and the crew of the Enterprise on a mission that pits them against a formidable villain played by Idris Elba. Another solid entry in the Star Trek Franchise. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A movie bordering on greatness, but falling short. The CGI is PHENOMENAL, maybe he best I've ever seen. The acting is very good, and the script is quite good. The drawbacks are small but noticable; the villain is blah, the dialog for Scottie was not what one would expect from a Starfleet graduate (too much lassie and wee), and the motorcycle scene was too easy a way out. I guess it's about what you'd expect from a "Fast and Furious" director. Idris Alba could have been hsed so much more and so much better. Despite these short comings, the movie is thoroughly entertaining. The destruction of the Enterprise was well worth the price of admission alone! Expand

Every character is given a chance to shine and is given more than enough character growth through out the film. Krall was an Ok villain but I don't think that his side of the story was told as well as it could have been. We were given some very quickly told sentences to explain things and that was that. Visually, It's a stunning film and even with a 2 hour run time, I didn't get bored watching it.

Hats off to Simon Pegg. He wrote a good film and I think that's the main reason everything clicked so well. It's a shame that they had to cut it to shreds in order to fit a more watch-able run time because I am sure it would have been even better if it were slightly longer.

Very stupid movie, nerer make the mistake of watching it. The plot is moronic and predictible, the characters are bland, the action is lackluster, the effects are just decent. Its barely a sci fi movie.

For a moment I felt myself dropped into the Mass Effect Andromeda game when confronted by what must be one of the most boring, generic adversary I have seen for a decade. Whereas in Andromeda they at least try to flesh out to enemy leaderFor a moment I felt myself dropped into the Mass Effect Andromeda game when confronted by what must be one of the most boring, generic adversary I have seen for a decade. Whereas in Andromeda they at least try to flesh out to enemy leader more, here we get you run-of-the mill generic reptilian looking baddy with a slavish following wanting to destroy the federation for reasons. He also seems to have the control a large fleet of ships and seems totally unaccountable to anyone. Excruciating boring are the few exchanges he has with Kirk and Uhura. Yes, yes, being the top dog is all that counts in our amoral universe.

I dare say that star trek heads the opposite of star wars as it denudes itself from anything that makes sense or makes you feel connected to the people. There are some attempts at this, but as someone said elsewhere. They nod at it and then continues with the relentless frantic action scenes that seem to topple over each-other. No pause is given as the movie goes from chase scene, to fight scene, to blow up scene. It is written large: there will be no moment to ponder. Of course there are a few moments in which pondering happens, but they are at the beginning, just to get them over with. Star Trek beyond baffles mostly by the outrageous: the sheer outrageous stupidity of the cast making one idiotic decision after the other, the sheer outrageous luck that gets them out of their predicament that those idiotic decisions put them into, the sheer idiocy of the writing that offers the outrageous funniest and outrageous ridiculous moments, such as the one where they blow up the enemies swarms of ship with an old rock song.

The biggest problem is that the cast of well established characters are in fact outrageous boring, with the exception of Uhura and some newcomers.

It would be better if Star Trek rebooted again and then introduced us with some new characters so that they can be fleshed out and explored. Give the whole movie some more depth and people motivation that make sense.

Just having a uninteresting star trek crew take on a generic baddy is.. (here it comes) beyond boring.

That all been said, if you like a relentless series of action scenes that does not pause for anything substantial, you will probably find that here. But to be honest: you get the same with Guardians of the Galaxy, but that has better characters, slightly more depth and more humor definitely. So if you have to face that choice, you know what you are getting into.

First off, while it may not be as strong as it's predecessor Into Darkness, it manages to keep itself serious enough to tell a decent story while not being overbearingly grim. In a sense, tone-wise it's somewhere in the middle of it's two predecessors.
Pros: Once again the special effects of the movie are top-notch, no one will walk away saying the action sequences didn't look awesome. The gravity-bending near the end of the movie especially are very well done, and are almost as disorienting as it is to the characters. Acting-wise all the supporting characters are given a bit more screen-time and definitely make the most of it. McCoy and Spock's interactions are definitely a highlight as comedic relief, and I have to give a special nod to Chekov's development with Kirk. (Anton will be sorely missed).
Cons: Not every supporting character was quite as well done though, the character of Jaylah checks off every archetype of alien/kinda primal ally that has a grudge on said villain.

As a long time ST fan who enjoyed the first two reboots well enough, all I can say about this one is I think we've tolerated these reboots long enough. It's time for a real Star Trek movie and not the cash grab reboot universe.

Director Justin Lin (Fast & Furious) takes the helm from JJ Abrams after the bungled 'Into Darkness' and improves on the previous entries in every way. After two movies in the rebooted franchise, 'Beyond' actually feels like a progression in the story of the USS Enterprise as in it does not waste time reintroducing the characters we all know and gets straight to the story and the action. 'Beyond' may just become the 'First Contact' of this new series. Expand

I loved Wraith of Khan and while this might not be up to level as that movie I did thoroughly enjoy this movie. It held a very easy to follow plot with a lot of elements of what happens when you end up losing hope from abandonment and when you lose your place in the world. Where do you belong and what do you do when you lost your way.

This was a movie where I loved the themes it presented here and offered a lot of good action to go along with it.

Those worries are put to rest because Justin has directed an awesome film. The action he brings over from Fast and Furious translates very well into Star Trek. The costume, makeup and CGI is once again flawless. The writing by Simon Pegg was smart, interesting, and funny. The cast once again does a tremendous job on being these characters especially Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. Idris Elba's character "Krall" is very interesting. He brings his very good acting and toughness to the character to bring him to life. Even though the characters motivations are unclear until the end. Expand

We Underestimated The J.J. Alliance (Justin Lin & Jacob Abrams)

"Beyond" was not the kind of sequel we expected. Despite excessive unease by fanatics since the announcement of Justin Lin as captain of the USS Enterprise - which resided in that he could exceed his own limits with a franchise as long-lived as perpetual, - Lin delivers a breath of uplifting and new air to the vigorous reboot that J.J. Abrams began in 2009, but the film feels like an extensive TV episode focused on the memorable action sequences, neglecting the primordial which is an unforgettable argument, as well as the wasted talent of Elba; it seems that they leave unfinished threads of the story, substituting such defect with an action scene. Although it promises renovations and inventions profitable for the saga, the film ends up as a summer film more with big-budget.

The Enterprise is dispatched on a rescue mission after an escape pod emerged in the space, in the middle of a nebula. Giddily, the crew goes to the scene, in where, unfortunately, turns into an ambush by small ships similar to a swarm, that perforate and destroy the ship Enterprise, aggressively. Without weapons nor defenses, the crew is forced to leave the beloved ship, falling into a desolate planet called Altamid. Now, the team will have to survive, restore the spacecraft, solve their personal problems and combat the villain, Krall - who searches for a relic called an Abronath that Kirk had obtained for a failed diplomatic mission - to keep the Star Trek universe stable.

What role does the third installment in the Star Trek universe? Tabulating similarities and differences present in the film, "Beyond" approximates to installments #5 ("The Final Frontier") and #9 ("Insurrection") due to its particular autonomy and beyond gigantic effects and budgets, they were installments that narrated certain experiences of the crew, nevertheless, this time, the purpose is to weave one new central story interconnected with the sub-plots of others.

The mandate of Lin takes a detour from the prominent influence that Abrams had by "Star Wars"; Lin opts for a world more comical and fabulous, Pegg and Jun were crucial to support not only the new atmosphere with a different script and not very practical as seen before in "Into Darkness", also, it is noticeable an improvement in the massive and apocalyptic destruction of the NCC-1701 that, although , does not generate the same impact that would obtain the annihilation of the Millennium Falcon , but the comparisons between these juxtaposed universes are unnecessary.

To some extent, the longevity of the movie series is due to their well-argued villains, spreading panic among audience since their first appearances, crossing from Khan played by Ricardo Montalban in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" to Benedict Cumberbatch in "Into Darkness". Now, the time is for a convincing male actor, nothing less than Idris Elba. With a career worthy of being applauded, he has joined to Trek universe buried under all the prosthetics - fatal decision, I realize until the ending, when I saw his face -. Krall is the antagonist, a villain with weak and unconvincing motivations, who does give nothing strong to the simple plot, an unacceptable waste of talent and potential, the same happened with Oscar Issac in "X-Men: Apocalypse"

Besides the addition of Elba, an attractive and fascinating character is joined to the team. The newcomer, Sofia Boutella, who will return to use layers of makeup on the reboot of "The Mummy" (2017) to the universe of monsters from Universal and who participated in "Kingsman: The Secret Service" , her biggest success so far, she is Jaylah, a survivor who took refuge on the USS Franklin after the attack of Krall. Suggestive and promising future for Jaylah, a new member is equal to new adventures.

Our former members of the crew, who have been the authors of the renovation of the saga - involved for seven years - continue to growing. The Kirk/Spock/McCoy trio are more attractive and spontaneous than previous movies, Pegg continues moving forward with Scotty, Uhura is a beacon of light and all others persist in the search for their self-realization, the new crew no longer has any reason to "envy" original crew. Sadly, we have missed two big guys, not only in the Star Trek family, but two great human beings. Our Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) died by a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the last year and, fatally, Anton Yelchin (Pavel Chekov) died by forceful traumatic choking due to an accident car in this same year, however, they have only disappeared of way physical, since continue alive and latent in the heart of the universe Star Trek, masters, rest in peace.

"Beyond", faithful to the original saga, delivers a succulent film for the Trekkies, however, does it neglecting the consistency in its story and some of its characters. Supported by a mythology that expands more and more, "Star Trek Beyond" is the best in the franchise, even though, the word "best" is hypothetical.

This is a film that totally gets it's characters and they make the movie what it is. While some of the closeup fight scenes were a little too quickly edited for me and some of the visuals felt a little too CG for me. I think that as an overall film, it lacks the charm of the first two and I doesn't feel quite as special as the first two either. Expand
