![]() The ads for Beyond touted his work on 4 Fast & Furious movies, which in itself were perfectly fine summer actioners, but with this one, he’s able to work in some great character moments, and motivations, with some cool tracking shots. For me, I found it to be entertaining and under the tutelage of Justin Lin who takes over the director’s chair after Abrams got to the franchise he really wanted, and Lin has proven to be more than a fill-in. Star Trek Beyond, by my count, is the 11th movie in the Trek movie-verse and could very well be one of the better, although purists from what I’ve read despises what Abrams and company have done. Kroll is seeking an artifact that was in possession of the Enterprise which, when put together with other items, become a cruel and near unstoppable weapon. On the planet, Kirk and Chekov try to find ways to locate their fellow comrades Spock and McCoy trade barbs with one another as Spock deals with a near-fatal injury Sulu and Uhura are prisoners and Scotty teams with a woman named Jaylah (SOFIA BOUTELLA) who is the last of her crew who were targeted by our film’s alien villain, Kroll (IDRIS ELBA). ![]() After navigating through a nebulous, are ambushed by a swarm of ships which destroy the Enterprise (of course) and when the saucer section is split, is sent plummeting to a supposedly uninhabited planet, but not before this alien army has taken hostages. Uhura (ZOE SALDANA), Montgomery ‘Scotty’ Scott (SIMON PEGG), Sulu (JOHN CHO) and Chekov (ANTON YELCHIN) - are sent to investigate a distress call in an uncharted sector. Enterprise - Commander Spock (ZACHARY QUINTO), Dr. Kirk (CHRIS PINE) and the crew of the U.S.S. Now we get the third film in the Abrams’ reboot, Star Trek Beyond and it almost rectifies any issues with the last entry. Then came Star Trek Into Darkness and although I enjoyed it when I first saw it in theaters and even on home video, the issues especially with the third act really took my satisfaction down a notch. ![]() The first film from 2009 was mostly successful bringing together a quality cast and did a great job bringing a new generation into the long-running franchise while still paying homage to the old series and movies. The Star Trek reboot, two films in, has been mixed.
