Review of Star Trek Beyond (2016) by Donaldist — 01 Aug 2016
38/100, or C.
Say what you will about the J.J. Abrams films, but at least they have the ability to keep it up. This is just ridiculously boring, what with the cookie cutter Macguffin plot and incomprehensible action. There are a few grace notes here that in the past would have caused me to be more generous with my rating, but this has been a dire blockbuster year, I miss stuff like Edge of Tomorrow, Ghost Protocol, and John Wick, and this film gives Zoe Saldana nothing to do. Generic just doesn't merit a mixed review at this point.
Oh, and RIP Anton Yelchin. I'll miss his marked competence in diverse roles, and his adorable Russian accent.
