I’ve been a Trekkie since I can remember and I happily watch any TV show or movie, repeatedly, even the fan funded episodes with the eagerness of a true Star Trek fan. Without complaint, just happy to have it.
With that out of the way Star Trek Beyond, for me, was a super cool movie. It was action packed, funny and with some outstanding special effects. I am so thankful to J.J for reigniting the series, and even though we now have a new director, it still had the wonderful light adventurous feel and look, (even the lens flares). It had some great scenes, some poignant and reflective, others just plain funny. Lots of in-jokes and a few pop culture references. I had to chuckle at the Commandeer Paris line since I am currently watching’Voyager’ in my spare time. And the scene with Spock and Dr McCoy on the planet has become my favourite Star Trek scene, EVER!
So, if you’re after a great fun time at the movies go watch Star Trek Beyond. I can’t wait to see it again. So being a’true Trekkie’ I give it a 7.6/10
