Review of Star Trek Beyond (2016) by Faisal A — 15 Aug 2017

With stunning visuals and thrilling action sequences, leave it to Justin Lin to give it the Fast & Furious treatment turning the 3rd entry of the rebooted franchise into a truly exciting and wild ride.

Of course, all that action does come at a price and, as is so often the case, it's the story and character development that suffer leading it to feel a little unoriginal and somewhat superficial. Nevertheless, with the great cast, banging soundtrack and a script that has lots of humour to balance the action, 'Beyond' is still a mighty entertaining film that may not please everyone, but will certainly hit the spot for fans of the blockbuster, no-brainer action flicks.
