Which is why I still was skeptical about dogging it based on clearly bad trailers. The first one with Sabotage was a complete failure. I don't care if they were trying to call back to the 1st film that briefly used the song. It may or may not be good, but with Pegg penning it and a massive Trekkie, I couldn't figure out how it could be terrible when they essentially hired a fanboy to do the story, unless they really tore apart his draft. He could have written a dud, but Pegg has an impressive screenwriting resume.

Awesome news! Finally a decent all around popcorn flick after a very dull and disappointing summer to date.

Never trust the first 50 reviews on RT.

Wow. Those "good" review snippets are awful...
"An enjoyably old-fashioned entry in the new series. Short on back story, long on action, loads of fun." ""Star Trek Beyond" is a somewhat diverting place holder, but one hopes that the next "Star Trek" movie will have what it takes to boldly go where no "Star Trek" movie has gone before." "While he may have seemed like a counterintuitive choice to take over a Star Trek movie, Lin is absolutely in his element whenever the film becomes about bodies and vehicles moving swiftly through space - which is often." Sounds like a fun summer movie, but not a Star Trek movie.

This is a positive review?!?!
"While "Star Trek Beyond" lacks a center, it compensates with an endless parade of distractions. When the movie moves along at a breezy clip, it's partly because it feels so purposeless."

Still hopeful, but I'll wait until the 2nd or 3rd weekend to see it.

Fourth ‘Star Trek’ Movie Announced with Chris Pine, Chris Hemsworth Paramount Pictures, Skydance and Bad Robot have announced a fourth film in the rebooted “Star Trek” series, starring Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth. The studio made the announcement Monday, four days before it launches “Star Trek Beyond,” disclosing that Pine’s Captain Kirk will cross paths with his father, described as “a man he never had a chance to meet, but whose legacy has haunted him since the day he was born.” Hemsworth, who appeared in 2009’s “Star Trek,” will return to the space saga in the father role as George Kirk. The remaining cast — which includes Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho and Simon Pegg — is expected to return. J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay will write the screenplay. J.J. Abrams and Lindsey Weber will produce through Bad Robot Productions. David Ellison and Dana Goldberg of Skydance will executive produce. The announcement did not indicate who will direct. Justin Lin directed “Star Trek Beyond” from a script by Doug Jung and Simon Pegg. “Star Trek” grossed $380 million worldwide in 2009 and “Star Trek: Into Darkness” earned $460 million worldwide. “Star Trek Beyond” — the 13th film in the series dating back to 1979’s “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” — will make its premiere at Comic-Con on Wednesday in San Diego. Hemsworth is currently starring in “Ghostbusters” alongside Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig and Kate McKinnon, and filming “Thor: Ragnorak” and “Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1” back to back. He is repped by CAA and ROAR. ------------------ From my understanding, the fourth film will close the Kelvin Timeline and bring the crew back into the "normal" timeline that we all know and loved. |

I hope this review is inaccurate, but for some reason I'm guessing it's probably pretty on target. I hate that so many movies are hiding action sequences in darkness. If the choreography sucks or you don't have the FX chops to do it right, change it. Don't just make it too hard to see.
Star Trek Beyond: An unwatchable steaming pile of tribble dung Trek works when the struggle is within, not when the fights are fast and furious Review The original Star Trek series and subsequent sequels stubbornly and persistently refused to frame their dramas in black-and-whites. Balance of Terror, for example, transformed heretofore-unseen Romulans from villains into tragic heroes over the course of an hour. As happened in so many episodes, the writers avoided the cheap path of good versus evil. The first run of films started well, but eventually just offered a procession of baddies. Along the way they lost sight of the single, overarching lesson of half a century of Trek is that the struggle is within us – for understanding – and not against some imagined other. When Trek can’t get beyond binaries, its finely tuned universe – where most of the sources of human conflict have been resolved – falls apart. So it goes in the steaming pile of dung that audaciously calls itself Star Trek Beyond, a film that manages to be simultaneously both incomprehensible and unwatchable. Literally unwatchable: many of the scenes are so dark that even in a darkened theatre you have no idea what is happening to whom, nor where it might be happening.
