Review of Star Trek Beyond (2016) by Moo-Vies — 17 Dec 2016
Star-trek's sheer repetitions of fast speaking scenes, cliches situations, quips and characters made it a personally painful experience to watch.
In the end you can not hide the fact that Star-Trek baseline is 50 years old, based upon a captain's hierarchical crew and a sadistic will to sacrifice every member of his crew in gratuitous scenes of violence but for 5 caricatural characters stuck in their assigned pre-defined personality.
Sure, the modern declination is full of good ideas and impressive CGI.
This latest iteration brings lots of ideas from Avatar, Game of Thrones, science fiction tropes like the grey goo and funny situational one liners.
But all of it is still stuck in the Star-Trek dogma, where nothing changes and hundreds of dead crews are forgotten in the blink of an eye, where any scientific materiality is drowned into ad nauseam speeches of mumbo jumbo to justify any scenaristic whim.
Star Trek Beyond is an impressive fast paced action movie that is sadly boringly conservative in the storytelling it offers.
