Straight garbage. Meaningless characters, jumbled storylines and stupid visuals. I have no interest in this whole mess. The fighting scene ar very long and Sabotage is just so meaningless. Style beyond substance cannot do Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin any justice. Skip it.

Encore un nouveau film puisant sans vergogne dans l’univers Star Trek pour en faire de la merde ! l’équipe de bras cassés est de nouveau sur le pont, à notre grand regret : rien ne va avec ces branques (comme d’habitude) : même le gars Spock est à l’ouest et l’esprit « Star Trek » s’est évanoui dans le vide intersidéral. D’ailleurs, nous sommes sidéré nous-mêmes par tant de vacuité, notamment dans cette vague histoire à la mords-moi-le-noeud à laquelle on ne comprend rien ou pas grand-chose… ou bien serait-ce parce que c’est simplement et complètement raté ? des méchants pas beaux veulent récupérer un schmilblick, puis c ‘est toute l’entreprise qui dépose le bilan… Cependant, il faut reconnaître des effets spéciaux somptueux et très réussis ! c’est vraiment très beau et spectaculaire. Il faut aussi saluer (?) toute cette action ininterrompue ou presque, une fois passé un temps d’exposition longuet et maladroit. Une action hélas trop souvent mal filmée : un peu trop cut et move aussi (ça secoue la caméra, mon capitaine, est-ce bien normal ?). D’habitude, je ne me plaindrais jamais qu’il y ait ‘trop’ d’action dans un film… mais là c’est une très vaine agitation, superfétatoire et sans justification véritable, si ce n’est un scénar qui s’égare à la fois dans le n’importe quoi et le ridicule permanent. Et donc, vers la moitié, j’ai arrêté, j’en pouvais plus !

At best Star Trek: Beyond basically comes down to, "I saw it, it was fine."

I didn't like the direction of this movie. Just a bad script. I found myself pressing fast forward a lot because it dragged.. This movie is not worth watching.

Absolutely the best in the trilogy, Beyond manages to capture a little bit of that classic Star Trek feel. A flawed, but ultimately good film.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This movie suffers from the fact that it came out right after the untimely passing of a couple beloved folks. It’s great fun now that time has been allowed to pass. Sad we don’t have another one.

Of all the newer films produced by Bad Robot, this felt most like Star Trek. Still, none of them match the thoughtful storytelling of the Roddenberry era.

Such a poor movie, completely lost anything that made Star Trek good in the first place. Instead this could be any space based film another Star Wars spin off? None of the subtle ambiguity of the original series, just black n white, good vs evil.

AVOID THESE "STAR TREK" movies. Finally the box office reflected the crap that these movies deserved all along. Just a shoot em up movie that has a Star Trek name on it.

No story, no character development, full of cgi and action, but lacks of common sense. Krall is like the plot, generic.

This movie was like watching paint dry (not the funny Family Guy way). I am out of work right now and still couldn't justify sitting through the whole thing. The cgi was laughable-worse even than Gemini man (shame on you Ang Lee) Even Karl Urban couldn't help. The one bright spot was Anton Yelchin, It was heartbreaking to see him, knowing how he died.

50 kg women fighting against 90 kg men... yes sure. Plot very basic and superficial without time to explain it, because there were so many action scenes. Visually this movie was great.

Definitely entertaining but a step backwards in terms of writing and inventiveness.

This is just Fast and Furious in space. Bad plot, poorly written dialog, too many vehicle based action scenes. Let this version of Trek die on the vine.

Se seus antecessores impressionam pela trama muito bem escrito, Sem Fronteiras se distância do impacto causado pelo dois primeiros filmes, talvez seu maior problema foi ser simples demais em sua trama, e ter um vilão fraco e esquecível, porém ainda sim é um filme divertido e de ótimo visual.

Reminds me of some high budget bad pop song video. Classic Star Trek is officially dead now and now just a noisy and empty pop song mess in a movie format. Devoid of classic Star Trek heart and soul.

Médaille OR !! Star Trek Sans limites Même si Star trek c'est à la base de l'exploration. Le seul moyen d'en faire un blokbuster c'est de mettre de la guerre. Même si l'enjeu est moins prenant que dans le deux ( Benedict Cumberbatch

It's not as entertaining as the previous two instalments, but it still manages to deliver thrilling action and fast-paced adventure.

This is the third movie in the "new Star Trek" saga, with new story and reinvented characters. If I can say that I really enjoyed the two previous films, this time I was a bit disappointed. The actors' work remains impeccable as well as the way the plot takes advantage of all the central characters, giving each one the right moments to shine instead of giving almost all focus to three/four characters, as happened in earlier movies. The way they interact and dialogue its also positive. So what made me so disappointed? Two things. The first is the powerful and obvious CGI, so evident that loses realism and credibility. It looks fantastic but is so clearly false that it doesn't impressed us. And worse than that: it dominates to the point the movie itself forgets the plot. That's the second thing that blew me away. The plot is something so basic and so poorly developed that it makes me wonder if it would have been better to remake one of the older movies. There are points in the film that are clearly unexplained, such as the nature of the bio-weapon that Krall sought so hard, or the reason he seems so unhuman for most of the time, to give only two examples. Either way, it's a movie that entertains the audience well and provides two hours of quality time. And its the first film made after the death of Leonard Nimoy, a very present absence during the film in that its abundantly mentioned and honored throughout the action, especially by young Spock (Zachary Quinto). No one, surely, doubts he deserved it.

For a moment I felt myself dropped into the Mass Effect Andromeda game when confronted by what must be one of the most boring, generic adversary I have seen for a decade. Whereas in Andromeda they at least try to flesh out to enemy leader more, here we get you run-of-the mill generic reptilian looking baddy with a slavish following wanting to destroy the federation for reasons. He also seems to have the control a large fleet of ships and seems totally unaccountable to anyone. Excruciating boring are the few exchanges he has with Kirk and Uhura. Yes, yes, being the top dog is all that counts in our amoral universe. I dare say that star trek heads the opposite of star wars as it denudes itself from anything that makes sense or makes you feel connected to the people. There are some attempts at this, but as someone said elsewhere. They nod at it and then continues with the relentless frantic action scenes that seem to topple over each-other. No pause is given as the movie goes from chase scene, to fight scene, to blow up scene. It is written large: there will be no moment to ponder. Of course there are a few moments in which pondering happens, but they are at the beginning, just to get them over with. Star Trek beyond baffles mostly by the outrageous: the sheer outrageous stupidity of the cast making one idiotic decision after the other, the sheer outrageous luck that gets them out of their predicament that those idiotic decisions put them into, the sheer idiocy of the writing that offers the outrageous funniest and outrageous ridiculous moments, such as the one where they blow up the enemies swarms of ship with an old rock song. The biggest problem is that the cast of well established characters are in fact outrageous boring, with the exception of Uhura and some newcomers. It would be better if Star Trek rebooted again and then introduced us with some new characters so that they can be fleshed out and explored. Give the whole movie some more depth and people motivation that make sense. Just having a uninteresting star trek crew take on a generic baddy is.. (here it comes) beyond boring. That all been said, if you like a relentless series of action scenes that does not pause for anything substantial, you will probably find that here. But to be honest: you get the same with Guardians of the Galaxy, but that has better characters, slightly more depth and more humor definitely. So if you have to face that choice, you know what you are getting into.

(82/100) Liked it, but it just feels not as good as the previous two installments.

Pretty good flick. Saw it in the IMAX with my family. Had I known some joker would have his bright cell phone out for half of the movie and cause a distraction, I would have waited to watch this at home in my own theater setup.

Tiene buen diseño y eso pero no le llega ni a los talones a las dos anteriores.

First off, visually, this movie is really great. Over and over again, it just looks amazing. The plot, however, is less impressive. It feels unoriginal, forgettable, and just not quite interesting enough to be called a really solid plot. The characters in this movie are colorful and interesting, but seem to lack real depth. The main villain is okay, but once again unoriginal and not really anything classic or really special. All in all, a movie that excels visually, but is fairly meh in every other way.

Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond is an amazing concluding chapter to this amazing Star Trek trilogy. The characters are still amazing as well as the action sequences. The villain,Krall, could've been better but he was still pretty cool. In the end, if you are a Star Trek fan or you like good action films, then go see this. Its great.

Forgettable, overly frantic waste of time and money. No charm, no wisdom, no visual restraint or actual suspense. I guess that's why I have 0 interest in the fast and furious movies. The director infused his nothingness into the brilliance that J.J. Abrams established. Unless they dump this director, I will not be watching future Star Trek movies.

A likeable continuation of the Star Trek reboot franchise. Nothing new on show here, but the ensemble characters (beyond Kirk & Spock) are developed further, even if the exploration side of things isn't. The script is well written with the cheeky quips continuing to amuse.

A brain dead action flick in a faint shell of Star Trek. Almost felt insulted as a long time fan watching **** story is simple and straight forward enough yet it still has major holes in both logic and character motives, especially for the villian part. The movie do carefully pays tributes to the the original series and late Nimoy, but aside from that, it's everything a Star Trek movie shouldn't be, which, makes this whole mess feels even more sad.

Für Star Trek – Beyond reicht J.J. Abrams das Regiezepter an The Fast and the Furious-Regisseur Justin Lin weiter – und das merkt man. Teil 2 nach dem Reboot bietet reichlich Action – mal sehr imposant, mal voll von der Stange – während der Plot eher einfach gestrickt ist: Enterprise folgt Notruf, Enterprise strandet, Enterprise rettet. Zudem nervt die lange Filmmitte mit einem unsäglich trostlosen wie hässlichen Felsplanetensetting – Billo-Plastikfelsen inklusive. Dafür erkennen Fans die Handschrift von Comedian und Scotty-Darsteller Simon-Pegg, dessen Drehbuch zwar keine gute Geschichte, dafür aber massig Gags und charmante Dialoge liefert. Sowieso stimmt die Chemie zwischen den mittlerweile eingespielten Darstellern, während ein langsam alternder Chris Pine Original-Kirk William Shatner immer ähnlicher wird. Ein schicker Showdown nebst Twist machen Star Trek – Beyond schließlich zu einem immerhin grundsoliden Sci-Fi-Blockbuster.

The crew must fight for their lives after an ambush by a new enemy named Krall (Idris Elba). While the story wasn't completely strong the chemistry of the cast was. The visuals were also as strong as the great action, since all of JJ's beloved lens flares weren't in the way. Spock missing older Spock from an alternate time line, was also a great tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy. Spoiler: I can also say that Sulu gay does not hurt the birth of his daughter, so relax nerds lol. The late Anton Yelchin (Fright Night) gets the most he got to do in any Star Trek film as Chekov as well. Idris Elba (Luther) gets a mostly forgettable villain to play but at least he was an original villain, unlike Khan. Sofia Boutella kicks ass though as an alien allie named Jaylah. I wouldn't even mind if Justin Lin returns as director over JJ. Since JJ has shown with Super 8, Into Darkness and Force Awakens that he is better at making tributes than original movies. JJ's part 4 would probably have Kirk looking for whales, while searching for Spock. Then part 5 would have Spock's brother who is on a mission to find God lol.

Star Trek Beyond is the third installment in the Star Trek "reboot" movies. The first two directed JJ Abrams and I absolutely loved them. Now when I heard that Justin Lin would be taking over the project over JJ I was skeptical. Those worries are put to rest because Justin has directed an awesome film. The action he brings over from Fast and Furious translates very well into Star Trek. The costume, makeup and CGI is once again flawless. The writing by Simon Pegg was smart, interesting, and funny. The cast once again does a tremendous job on being these characters especially Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. Idris Elba's character "Krall" is very interesting. He brings his very good acting and toughness to the character to bring him to life. Even though the characters motivations are unclear until the end.

great continuation of the reboot series. You can tell there was a change in who helmed this film in the tone and general action sequences. However that may not be a bad thing depending on who you are. I personally enjoyed this and feel it a worthy successor to 'Into Darkness."

Without a doubt the worst of the new Star Trek movies, though it is still a blast. This film is a character driven and the characters are fantastic, this film is gorgeous, it is hilarious, and it is just so much fun. The plot is silly and definitely the worst of them yet, the villain he's good but Khan good. All in all it is great film!

Very stupid movie, nerer make the mistake of watching it. The plot is moronic and predictible, the characters are bland, the action is lackluster, the effects are just decent. Its barely a sci fi movie.

I am truly thankful that Yelchin's curtain call is the thrilling Green Room instead of this emotionally hollow rehash. Thrillseekers and Trekkies alike will come out assured that the promise of 2009's Star Trek has been broken.

I couldnt even finish this cheese. No depth, No realism, No immerision. Big fan of the first 2 cant believe how awful this was. Bad all around. I wish I could get my money back. So many mildly infuriating things. This and his star wars movies have destroyed the direction he was originall taking the Star trek series. All I can think of is in Community and Pierce directing the focus group about what the show to do and then taking every word he says as gold. You fail as a director and all who accompany you are fools

The perpetually flippant and cavalier attitudes exhibited in the face of overwhelming odds makes this more of a pre-teen comicfest than a serious film. Yes, it's got hundreds of millions in technical cinematics but it's all undone by the juvenile nature of the imperative: Captain Kirk et al must always prevail in the end, no matter how implausible or just plain stupid. These can never be outstanding/classic films because of that - there's no element of genuine surprise. Star Trek follows the same plot formula every single time, the only thing that changes is the superficial layers of plot and nods to all facets of diversity. This type of entertainment can only appeal to the pre-teen/teen brain that hasn't developed sufficient capacity to critique. It's a shameless yet surefire money grab for that demographic's money - it never fails, but it never advances the art either. Yet, the writers ultimately know this. Near the end, Kirk even utters, "We change, we have to, or we spend the rest of our lives fighting the same battles." Amazing, hopefully that realization informs subsequent Trek films.

While the weakest of the trilogy, it's a fun ride from beginning to end. The characters once again shine in their roles and performances. This proves just how far the crew have grown to work with each other and move on from their previous conflicts. The only character that felt weak to me was the villain, Krawl, who had a weak motivation and felt very generic. The special effects shine out as the new worlds, spaceships, and vehicles look so spectacular. The new alien races look good with memorable character designs, and adds originality to the franchise. The soundtrack is also the weakest the the trilogy. While I like it just fine, some of the pieces just don't fit in with whats going on. Besides that, it works and sounds good. Action scenes are also pretty fun, with them being shot well, and tension added to make it more entertaining. Overall while not the best in the trilogy, it's still an epic film, and I would recommend it.

Star Trek Beyond opens with an introspective Captain Kirk on the USS Enterprise as it journeys through the vast reaches of space, three years into a 5-year journey, which has engendered in him feelings of boredom with the staid routine and uneventfulness. A scheduled stop for maintenance at the Galactic Station, Yorktown changes all that, when a distress call received from space leads Captain Kirk, Lt. Spock, Engr. Scotty, Dr. McCoy and the crew of the Enterprise on a mission that pits them against a formidable villain played by Idris Elba. Another solid entry in the Star Trek Franchise.

Anton Yelchin will be missed. This was a very enjoyable Star Trek film. It reminded me of the better episodes from the original series. I hope they will continue to produce films focused on characters development and great story telling in the backdrop of space.

When did Star Trek become all about running around and fighting and shooting? Weren't there supposed to be interesting sci-fi wonders and strange moral dilemmas and things like that?

Star-trek's sheer repetitions of fast speaking scenes, cliches situations, quips and characters made it a personally painful experience to watch. In the end you can not hide the fact that Star-Trek baseline is 50 years old, based upon a captain's hierarchical crew and a sadistic will to sacrifice every member of his crew in gratuitous scenes of violence but for 5 caricatural characters stuck in their assigned pre-defined personality. Sure, the modern declination is full of good ideas and impressive CGI. This latest iteration brings lots of ideas from Avatar, Game of Thrones, science fiction tropes like the grey goo and funny situational one liners. But all of it is still stuck in the Star-Trek dogma, where nothing changes and hundreds of dead crews are forgotten in the blink of an eye, where any scientific materiality is drowned into ad nauseam speeches of mumbo jumbo to justify any scenaristic whim. Star Trek Beyond is an impressive fast paced action movie that is sadly boringly conservative in the storytelling it offers.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

I love the first Star Trek reboot. Star Trek Beyond is just beyond stupid. It's basically Fast and Furious in space. I give 6/10 just because of the cast.

Star Trek Beyond is a decent entry into the series. It makes a lesser impact than the previous reboot films, though, as it is very inconsequential. It feels more like the later Next Generation Star Trek movies like Insurrection and Nemesis than epic fare like First Contact or Wrath of Khan. Still an entertaining flick, however.

This new incarnation of the Star Trek franchise has brought the series into the 21st Century and has done it very well indeed. The first film in 2009 was one of the year's best pictures and Benedict Cumberbatch was a breath if fresh air in the not as good sequel Into Darkness. With Beyond we perhaps have the weakest entry in the new trilogy but that isn't to say it isn't still a decent film. It brings back all the old characters and teams them with the member of the crew they haven't quite spent a lot of screen time with. The film does this well and despite spending a lot of time apart, the crew still fizzle when they get their moments together. Idris Elba is the next actor in the line of villains and he plays Krall well beneath the heavy prosthetics. The only downside with this character is that his pan is rather bleak and contrived. Justin Lin directs well but it does miss the Abrams blueprint. Simon Pegg and Doug Jung bring a decent enough script to the table but some of the dialogue could have been sharpened or even delivered better. This isn't as dark as the previous entries but it is a solid addition. Let's just see if these actors continue on the Enterprise's adventures or if this trilogy is enough. As long as the filmmakers don't make a film weaker than this one then all should be ok. Enjoyable if not the greatest Enterprise outing.

When theirs rescue mission failed... It's not like I'm a big fan of 'Star Wars', so I disliked it. I have seen many space adventure films, but I never felt this series so interesting. I enjoyed some of the 'Star Trek' films though. I know this sequel is not good the previous ones, but for me this look okay than those. Because it was so simple, particularly story wise, and the rest of the film was action and adventure. No offense, but this series is like the collection of the rejections from other franchises. I mean, look at the cast, most of them are comedians and some of them are the category two actors and the rest are, I don't know what they are, bur decent actors. But these films pulled off successfully at the box office. Not a big impact like the recent 'Star Wars' film or any Marvel's films, but quite an impressive figure knowing the above fact I stated. From the Taiwanese director who made four 'Fast and Furious' films, handled his best for this. This film tells the story of the captain James Kirk, who leads his ship and crew to a rescue mission to a distant planet where some alien race who had stranded. But when they reach their destination, an unknown space army takes them by surprise and they too take a refuse on the same planet. From there how they plan to escape and to learn who were those attackers, all comes in the next half. This id full of action adventure. The story was little, but quite neatly developed characters, I mean the new ones with some good stunt sequences. As usual, there's no complaint about the graphics. I mean for the casual viewing, but who knows if you carefully look for the flaws, you might get a few. I suggest you to watch it just for an entertainment, but it might fail to satisfy the die-hard fans of 'Star Trek'. I think overall, it is not a bad film, even the two hours long is not an issue due to the good pace. 7/10

Whenever I think of Star Trek now I always think of Roger Ebert’s Review of the 2009 film. “The Gene Roddenberry years, when stories might play with questions of science, ideals or philosophy, have been replaced by stories reduced to loud and colorful action. Like so many franchises, it’s more concerned with repeating a successful formula than going boldly where no “Star Trek” has gone before.” Star trek should be more than a spectacle yet it’s not, and though this film is better than the second one in the rebooted series it is still a film you can turn your brain off and watch. I wish the film would have been more about science and discovery, learning about new civilizations, merging peace amongst races etc. instead we get another film where one race wants to destroy everyone else with limited reasoning. Peace isn’t created without completely destroying the enemy. Roger ended his review with the following “The new movie essentially intends to reboot the franchise with younger characters and carry on as before. The movie deals with narrative housekeeping. Perhaps the next one will engage these characters in a more challenging and devious story, one more about testing their personalities than re-establishing them.” I got to say the film is entertaining to a point but the characters are the same through three films now. ****/reviews/star-trek-2009
