Star Trek Beyond (2016)
Ugh, so disappointing. There were some good parts, but overall it was meh to annoying. Way too much action, especially because it was all shaky-cam and confusing closeup choreography. Idris Elba was completely wasted in this film, unfortunately. And it was too long. One of those movies where I kept hoping it would get better but it never really did.
5.9/10
I saw this earlier in the week. I didn’t have high hopes, and i wasn’t dispointed. It was enjoyable to watch, but i don’t see a whole lot appeal in watching it again (anytime soon). Everything about the villain just doesn’t make sense. And the outpost is ‘sci-fi pretty’, but makes no sense. why would you build all of your living quarters around the most dangerous part: the launch/docking tubes where space ships (which usually suffer catastrophic failures in ST films) are coming and going? The city planner should be sacked. I prefer my Star Trek to be the more ‘cerebral sci-fi’, enough so that it isn’t always entertaining. meh, i always preferred the various TV series over the movies anyway (over ANY of the movies)
