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

Let me just preamble this by saying that I'm an avid Star Trek fan. My favorite series is the next generation (I thank god for Jean-Luc Picard), and that is the exact reason I love this movie. This pays a tribute to the Treks of the past while remaining what it is: a new Star Trek in the Kelvin timeline.Real quick, a tangent: those of you who don't like the Kelvin timeline films, I understand where you're coming from. They have a different coat of paint. However, they've all remained Star Trek at their core, exemplifying the same values; Beyond is no different. If the original series had aired today with the same script, it would have undoubtedly been rejected by nearly everyone for being dull and showcasing so much edgy material. That's the point: this series changes to fit with the times. The same old Star Trek can't keep on going or it'll die out. It must adapt to service the world. Back to this movie: the writing was pretty solid. Everyone had a piece in the puzzle. The teams they split into about halfway through were very well done. Jaylah was a good badass and a fine character with a good actress behind her. The villain, Krall, may seem a bit thin at first, but rewatch the movie and you'll see everything makes sense. And with Idris Elba playing him, I mean, c'mon! It's Idris Elba! The rest of the cast performed admirably, sticking to their characters very well and bringing their childish enthusiasm into the mix while still growing. It was a good sendoff to Anton Yelchin (may he Rest In Peace) and quite the tribute to Leonard Nimoy. That brings me back to my main point: this was a great tribute to the original series and Star Trek in general.

7/10? Are you having a laugh? Listen, I love my star trek. I really enjoyed the first reboot and I thought the second one wasn't bad for a sequel. This film; however, was bad. It's cheesy, predictable and has a tick box of categories. It's just badly written and has an awful 'bad guy'. Definitely the worst of the reboots.

As many poor reviews as I've seen on this site and others, it's clear this film is far more for a newer younger audience, meaning viewers, who weren't old enough to the franchises from the mid 90's. As I've noticed over the years with the newer Star Wars movies beginning with The Force Awakens. Fans simply don't like change or evolution older characters. Abrams has Taken Star Trek in a direction which appeals to younger viewers and not the Trekkers who were around for TNG and the other shows. He's had to make them full of action and violence so the film will bring in more money on opening weekend. Not saying I'm a fan, but we have to face reality and concede, this ain't Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek.
