The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

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.

I have really enjoyed the tangential timeline they came up with to reboot Star Trek and I like the casting of the younger versions of all the main characters.With that being said this entire movie felt like one long episode from one of the TV series. It felt overly campy and looked like it was filmed on some backlot at Studio 6. Every time the bad guy was on screen I felt like I was watching an episode of Face Off. It started out with promise, but in the end it was a total yawner.Man, what a let down.

STAR TREK: BEYOND is the third in the revamped STAR TREK franchise, although my heart sank when I saw that it was co-written by Simon Pegg, whose previous material has been entirely light comedy. I was right to be worried; this is the worst of the trilogy and a big step down from the fun second instalment. What we get here is a faceless, bland, generic villain (Idris Elba cruising by on autopilot), an adventure which replaces character action and plot development with mere technicality, and endless CGI action sequences in which the actors are dwarfed by massive and bland computer effects. The lazy plotting relies on deus ex machina all the while while the main cast members have little to work with, other than reacting to the next special effect. It's a really yawn-worthy film, as bland and generic as they come.

In general, it is a good action movie with really awesome animations. So far so good. So if you search for a pointless action movie without the need to activate your brain(at all) the movie is ok. The moment you start thinking about any logic or story that makes sense, you will fall into despair....
