Star Trek Beyond. In Theatres July 22 2016

Well, it's action-packed. Whether it has a good story/plot will hopefully be evident in future trailers and/or the movie itself. I worry because the director is best known for The Fast & The Furious. I don't want to be let down like I was with the last Star Trek film.

The latest trailer. I'm encouraged because it's not a recycled storyline so they can't f--- it up like they did the last movie, but still concerned about it being more action than substance. Hoping we get another trailer before it comes out in 2 months. The visual effects are nice!

I complain a lot about action movies (and other genres, for that matter) not devoting enough (or any) time to character development, in an effort to make us care whether any of these people live or die. As with most of the TREK properties, STAR TREK BEYOND never forgets to do this. We don’t need a lot, but we need something to hold onto. The added emotions many audience members will carry into the film with the passing of Nimoy and Yelchin since STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS is only going to make that more necessary. Screenwriters Pegg and Jung have made me remember what I truly love about these characters, and that warm feeling extends to new character Jaylah, who is drawn as technically proficient as well as a helluva fighter.

Of the three recent STAR TREK offerings, BEYOND is easily the most purely entertaining. It doesn’t dig deep as far as the greater meanings of Starfleet and its presiding mission, but Krall’s backstory does take a critical look at how the organization has operated in the past, which coincides with Kirk’s doubts about his role in it. Still, as far as franchise work this summer, this is one of the better ones, and I’m still quite eager to see what both the creative team and the actors have in store moving forward. As we learn in this film from a crashed, old-school starship that has been sitting on a desolate planet for decades, there’s still life in this old jalopy, even at 50 years old.
