It is a performances centric movie

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

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

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.

Vice versa. This movie is all about a will to stand together - Dr. McCoy and Spock developing friendship, Scotty's encounter with a stranger, and Captain James T. Kirk coming out of his father's shade and finding his purpose. More lighthearted that prequel but showing unity again. In this movie Spock once again deals with an ever-lasting dilemma between continuing Vulcan race and remaining on Enterprise with Nyota.

I hated both previous installments of the reboot ST universe and I really hoped this one would be an ounce better since Abrams is not behind the wheel but he's still a big part of the franchise and Orci is as well so my hopes were foolish. Everything about this movie is underdeveloped and/or contrived. It's the kind of movie you watch on autopilot and mindlessly chew on popcorn. Nothing new is being said, character development is almost non-existent (Kirk's and Spock's forced 'internal struggles' are laughable), the plot is thin as spring ice and the main villain and his motives unconvincing and lacking in any kind of engagement. I like Pegg and would like to think that the minuscule wit and cleverness in the script that managed to get a laugh or two from me were his doing. One thing he's definitely to be credited with is making Sulu gay which is utterly ridiculous and unnecessary. The scene was overly emphasised with Kirk staring longingly into his direction while Sulu is walking away with his partner and child and it was there only to cater to progressive audience (of which I am a member) while at the same time Uhura is wearing a SKIRT just so she could flash her nice legs because I guess even in this day and age women are there to be pretty and style is more important than substance and practicality. Why make Sulu gay and not make her wear trousers? In case, you know, the ship gets attacked and she can run and jump and shoot comfortably?Actors had little to work with and while I am usually impressed with Quinto, here that was not the case. There were a few scenes where he managed to convey subtle emotions with facial expressions alone but that's definitely not due to excellent writing but due to his talent. Pine had a little more to work with but even he seemed dull and uninterested (as opposed to his role in WW which he played masterfully). I'm not sure why creators think their audience is dumb? Why are they calling this Star Trek when it's clear as day that it isn't? They would still make piles of money if they made smarter films. Spelling something out for the audience and literally verbalising that something is 'philosophical' doesn't make it so!In fairness, this is an average movie for the dumb and tired viewer who likes loud crap, explosions, and poorly executed action sequences but it's a below average Star Trek movie. Way below.
