Review of Star Trek Beyond (2016) by Nathonas — 16 Aug 2016
Star Trek Beyond has the flashy cinematography and visuals you'd come to expect from a blockbuster sci fi film, but that's about the only good thing.
The plot is poorly-written plot with silly, meaningless dialogue. Scene after scene that make little to no sense, and many instances that should've ended with everyone dying.
Confusing character motivations. For example why did they decide to go into the nebula on the word of a character they just met, and with the Federation's best ship and full crew?
Cliche upon cliche - characters explaining things for no reason, good guy letting bad guy deliver a speech in a key moment, etc.
Completely wasted villain who looked menacing but was 100% one-dimensional and barely made any sense after his motivation was explained.
The first re-imagined Star Trek was actually pretty good - a decent mix of sci-fi and action, but this film is absolute garbage.
