Review of Star Trek Beyond (2016) by Evan J — 28 Sep 2016

Rest in Peace Anton Yelchin. I am so glad he was very much apart of this movie and got a lot of screen time.

I've got to tip my hat to you Justin Lin. This is what a summer blockbuster is all about. Star Trek Beyond is full of fantastic characters. There are so many great character moments through out the film. Several laughs to be had. Plenty of awesome action set pieces. A good story (Simon Pegg's writing was aces). And most importantly, it's fun as hell. I was never bored once. When there wasn't action, we were getting great character moments and fun banter. I really love this cast. Everyone had such great chemistry with one another. This film was such a blast.

If you would have told me Justin Lin was going to make a better Star Trek movie than JJ Abrams, I would have called you crazy. As far as I'm concerned this is the best of the reboots, and I really enjoy the previous two.

The second best blockbuster of the year just behind Batman V Superman.
