Star Trek Beyond (2016)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Pretty Good

Just perfect...

A Masterpiece!

Star Trek Beyond is the worst Star Trek movie I've seen and one of the worst movies ever made. Beyond has no point to raise or moral question to ask, but that is an extremely high bar for a Hollywood Blockbuster, so we'll forgive it for that. The problem is, it's so stupid and poorly constructed that it can't even manage to entertain.James T Kirk is thinking of giving it all up for an admiral position on a CGI space station, but a dramatic situation calls for the Enterprise to sail through a rock-nebula-shock thingy to rescue some aliens. Trouble is, they get attacked by a huge swarm of ships that blows the CGI budget out of the water and there is sadly no money left for a script.Krall, the main baddie, wants a special "weapon" that is on the Enterprise and he almost finds it, but Kirk is a sneaky mother******. The Enterprise is destroyed in the scuffle and all the main characters survive unlikely situations because nobody important will die. This first third of the movie is a bad excuse to show actors climbing and sliding through expensive sets because those damn ship stabilizers are playing up again! Once on the planet, people are separated and Kirk can locate them because of a special necklace Spock gave to Lieutenant Uhura-damsel-in-distress, but we can't transport them because there interference from the nearby rocks. Uhura and Sulu escape their cells, with the aid of projectile vomit (that's not even a joke), and find out what the enemies are doing before getting caught again. Krall spends the rest of the movie telling Uhura about his grand plans while she acts like she forgot to wash her hair. Meanwhile, Spock and Bones vie for the worst dialogue in the history of cinema until they get transported to safety in another plot convenience in an ocean of plot conveniences.The main crew chill on an old federation ship that uses monochrome screens so the audience knows that it's old, really really old. And Kirk finds a motorcycle on board, because Pine must have a two-wheeled scene in his contract, and he uses it to holographically mind-**** a bunch of incompetent aliens, despite the fact that they have millions of ships.But we're not done. With the superweapon finally in hand, Krall takes his endless swarm of ships back to the CGI space station and wins easily (without the superweapon). But Kirk flies in to save the day and uses the super old ship, with Beastie Boys music magic, to surf a "wave" of ships in the a scene that will make you want to Hang Ten-hang yourself ten times. At this point, talking about the absurd final battle is just going to raise my blood pressure Beyond tolerable limits. Anybody with a brain will be dumber for having seen this movie. Anybody who loves Star Trek deserves a heartfelt apology from the cast and crew. Anybody that doesn't want to stab themselves in the eye after watching this is abomination has a tolerance Beyond any mere mortal.

Awesome movie... I really love the special-effects and the continuation of this great cast.

This was an ok version in the recent editions of the Star Trek movies. I feel like the others were better. Kirk's crew is stranded on a planet and has to deal with a lot of hostile aliens-that's the majority of it. It relies a lot on visual effects. There were some good moments and continues the new story well, but it was kind of a disappointment. I did like the new characters though.

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.
