Review of Star Trek Beyond (2016) by Adpirtle — 30 Jul 2016
Star Trek Beyond felt like a refreshing palate cleanser after its predecessor, Into Darkness. The latter, while obviously attempting to ape the franchise high notes of social commentary and character development, fell a bit flat by relying too much on unsurprising twists and forced nostalgia.
Beyond only flirts with social commentary and steers clear of being overly self-referential. It's just a fun adventure, one that would have fit in well with the 1960's TV show.
