Star Trek Beyond (2016)

As someone who liked the original 2009 Abrams-verse film and not ‘Into Darkness’, this was a pretty good experience for me. While this certainly has the worst villain (or at least worst-developed) of the trilogy, I think this is the best as an overall film. It has some genuine moments of insanity but it just runs with them, and I honestly applaud that. Unlike ‘Into Darkness’, or '09 for that matter, which felt like they were following some sort of screenwriter’s checklist of necessary moments, this one is far more straightforward.

Thumbs up. See it, make up your own damn mind…
