Justin Lin bears the burden left by J. J. Abrams, but it fulfills well his work, especially action scenes beautifully shot, but ends up leaving some early scenes very darkened, becoming difficult to understand what happens. Simon Pegg and Doug Jung's screenplay brings a simpler plot, compared to the previous films, which is an advantage. Also, the script can balance well comedy, action and drama, and avoid getting too run movie. Highlighting the excellent performances, the beautiful addition of the personage of Sofia Boutella and a convincing villain with a great performance of Idris Elba. But I don't understand why cast an actor in the level of Elba to live the character full of makeup, Which event was the highlight of the film.… Expand

Comprendo que J.J Abrams dejó el listón muy alto con las anteriores, que son para mí 2 putos peliculones porque entre otras cosas Abrams sacrifica la mitología y trasfondo endogámico de esta franquicia, para hacerla mas cercana al espectador medio, lo cual es algo positivo porque Star Trek tiene cosas que molan, pero esta...es un paso atrás.

Esta nueva pelicula, es mas un episodio de 2 horas de Star Trek la nueva generación o un remake de aquel truño low cost que fue...Star Trek Insurrección.

Una pelicula muy telefilmera, un ritmo muy irregular todo muy, muy descafeinado poca épica y poco space opera, da la sensación que han hecho esta pelicula para intentar contentar a los Trekkies mas radicales incluso metiendo guiños a Sulu y su condición sexual o el homenaje a Nimo. Y al final, solo despega un poco al final que se hace en ciertos momentos intenso y muy bien llevado y sin lens flares. El reparto me gusta, me parece que tiene un plantel de lujo y lo bordan, chirría el villano que lleva escrito el cliché "villano de opereta" tatuado en la frente.

En general, agridulce y decepción. Me esperaba mas de una saga reiniciada y con libertad de hacer mas y no caer en la misma endogamia de siempre.

JJ deja Star Wars y vuelve a Star Trek, que lo haces mejor aquí.… Expand

The first film in 2009 was one of the year's best pictures and Benedict Cumberbatch was a breath if fresh air in the not as good sequel Into Darkness. With Beyond we perhaps have the weakest entry in the new trilogy but that isn't to say it isn't still a decent film. It brings back all the old characters and teams them with the member of the crew they haven't quite spent a lot of screen time with. The film does this well and despite spending a lot of time apart, the crew still fizzle when they get their moments together. Idris Elba is the next actor in the line of villains and he plays Krall well beneath the heavy prosthetics. The only downside with this character is that his pan is rather bleak and contrived. Justin Lin directs well but it does miss the Abrams blueprint. Simon Pegg and Doug Jung bring a decent enough script to the table but some of the dialogue could have been sharpened or even delivered better. This isn't as dark as the previous entries but it is a solid addition. Let's just see if these actors continue on the Enterprise's adventures or if this trilogy is enough. As long as the filmmakers don't make a film weaker than this one then all should be ok. Enjoyable if not the greatest Enterprise outing.… Expand

The sense of urgency and worry in this movie is very well delivered and makes the audience feel for the characters (might be because of IMAX) . The action is very good and is a great end to the star trek rebooted story.

Caracterización, guión, efectos, lo tiene todo, y en esta avalancha de películas de ciencia ficción, tener otra de star trek, es básicamente ir al cine sabiendo lo que te vas a encontrar.
Bien, este concepto se aplica como debe, te esperas lo que pasa, y cuando sucede, va el director y te cambia todo de sitio!, no hay arriba ni abajo, es una locura maravillosamente planificada y sin olvidarse de que la película pertenece a la saga star trek.

This is a summer blockbuster through and through. They didn't overcomplicate anything and they didn't try to shoehorn some super genius villain into the plot. There's a LOT of action, explosions and a few chuckles, but it doesn't devolve into some cringy cheese fest. There are some stupid holes in the script (queue SW:TFA-like "randomly crash-land on a planet right next to major plot device"), but it's not that glaring and the pace and tone of the movie can hide it for the most part.

My biggest gripe with it is that there is actually a bit too much action and some of these scenes drag on for so long that the movie fails to keep up the tension throughout. Then, when we finally get some exposition and dialog at the end I actually felt like we could have used a bit more of this in the middle as well.… Expand

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

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

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

Like so many franchises, it’s more concerned with repeating a successful formula than going boldly where no “Star Trek” has gone before.” Star trek should be more than a spectacle yet it’s not, and though this film is better than the second one in the rebooted series it is still a film you can turn your brain off and watch. I wish the film would have been more about science and discovery, learning about new civilizations, merging peace amongst races etc. instead we get another film where one race wants to destroy everyone else with limited reasoning. Peace isn’t created without completely destroying the enemy. Roger ended his review with the following “The new movie essentially intends to reboot the franchise with younger characters and carry on as before. The movie deals with narrative housekeeping. Perhaps the next one will engage these characters in a more challenging and devious story, one more about testing their personalities than re-establishing them.” I got to say the film is entertaining to a point but the characters are the same through three films now. http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/star-trek-2009… Expand

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.

If I can say that I really enjoyed the two previous films, this time I was a bit disappointed. The actors' work remains impeccable as well as the way the plot takes advantage of all the central characters, giving each one the right moments to shine instead of giving almost all focus to three/four characters, as happened in earlier movies. The way they interact and dialogue its also positive. So what made me so disappointed? Two things. The first is the powerful and obvious CGI, so evident that loses realism and credibility. It looks fantastic but is so clearly false that it doesn't impressed us. And worse than that: it dominates to the point the movie itself forgets the plot. That's the second thing that blew me away. The plot is something so basic and so poorly developed that it makes me wonder if it would have been better to remake one of the older movies. There are points in the film that are clearly unexplained, such as the nature of the bio-weapon that Krall sought so hard, or the reason he seems so unhuman for most of the time, to give only two examples.

Either way, it's a movie that entertains the audience well and provides two hours of quality time. And its the first film made after the death of Leonard Nimoy, a very present absence during the film in that its abundantly mentioned and honored throughout the action, especially by young Spock (Zachary Quinto). No one, surely, doubts he deserved it.… Expand

Amazingly Adventurous but the feel of JJ Abrams's prequels felt missing!the prequels theme and style with fast-paced action packed full of mind-blowing twist and full of adrenaline rush and lens flare it has its feel of there own watching this movie it felt watching totally new franchise with same cast although the old movies and show's feel was little there,the 1st half has little story's flow issue but after the action and twist it was entertaining till the last,the Spock primes tribute and memory was emotional specially the ending scene of old crew's pic it was incredibly satisfying moment,the music,the visuals and the acting is top notch the story was simply decent the split-ed Crew's adventure was fun and engaging,the planets survivor and team's team-up was amazing,the starting intro to members and the plot of rescue until planet's incident was okay although the Space station's overview was mind-blowingly epic,from the planet's crash and action it was entertaining as hell,the Spock and Doc's each and every moment together was amazing the way there relations are developed it was amazing,the cap's rescue mission till end with twists and fight it was awesome,the old ship's take-off and the awesome space battle upon that the music thing at last it was literally mind-blowing and awesome.Literally last 30 mins were edge of the seat fun the action and chase with amazing hand-to hand combat of cap and old cap the whole mystery of Old ship and there captain felt little rushed as it was figured with clip although it was amazing,after the ending the cap's birthday and Trio's moment with Spock's thing it was a Satisfying end!Overall its an entertainingly amazing movie!… Expand

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

At best Star Trek: Beyond basically comes down to, "I saw it, it was fine."

Such a poor movie, completely lost anything that made Star Trek good in the first place. Instead this could be any space based film another Star Wars spin off? None of the subtle ambiguity of the original series, just black n white, good vs evil.

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.
