And then it was a fail so they gave him Star Trek. It is a fail and boring nonsense with explosions that do not kill anybody important and so they kicked him out... nah... they gave him Star Wars. Next they will give him another 50 remakes or whatever. Anyway, this Star trek is boring and if you were looking for the old TV serial quality forget it

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

Star Trek was - in its past- about some ethic dilemmas, about story or character dvelopement. At least it was about some likable crewmember who did some adventuring together until they get old. And in case of Data and others, it is also about how humans are and some ethic dilemma. In some ways I love the science in star trek and that it had creative writing. I loved the dialogue in some shows and movies and I loved, that it was about exploringStar Trek: Beyond wanted to be "back to the roots". It was said a year prior to release, it is going to be about exploring. And I was a little hyped. After the well made 2009 reboot and at least the well acted (Cumberbatch) successor, I hoped for uniting the old fans and the new.My god this movie disappointed on so many levels: The promising "exploring" ends after 15 Minutes. The Story is told very fast: The Enterprise flies into a mysterious nebula, only to immidiately meet the new bad guy who they have to defeat or he will defeat... whatever and whenever. Its always the same in the new movies.So the exploring is done after 15 minutes or so, the bad guy is found and what is left is some good vs bad guy fighting, saying "cool" oneliners and cut this thing together like a modern superhero (Avengers and others) movie with lots of action and no further story or intelligent dialogue. If you look for a brainless, heartless entertainment-movie in space that wears the name Star Trek but could be any Sci-Fi movie really, you could or possibly even should watch this movie. If you expect this to be Star Trek like the old days, or Star Trek close to the reboot of 2009 you are going to be disappointed.

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.
