Review of Star Trek Beyond (2016) by Drake T — 02 Apr 2017

I think this was the 3rd movie that the Star Trek reboot really needed. The 1st was riddled with time travel sci fi shenanigans while the 2nd was overwrought with exposition but this? This was a solid, good ol' action adventure that followed a tried and true formula.

Which begs the question, what will be next? A repeat of this and the franchise may be branded as lazy, or not "Star Trek" enough.

I just hope these films don't deteriorate into another overloaded Hollywood Sci Fi action-adventure. There's a balance of sophistication and fun still to be found on this "final frontier".
