Loved the 1st movie in the series. Had style, great effects, solid story, nice way to start the series.
2nd film, Please, rehashed crap, not original, horrible lifting of the "Khan" script while trying to be cute by switching the details around...wow so clever. Please. Toss in blue eyed Klingons and what happened to their 5 year mission?
3rd film, Beyond: The first half hour was great!!! As I was watching it, it felt like Star Trek. Had a few nice moments, pacing started to develop, nice action kicked in with the destruction of the ship.....loved it.... then..... uh.... WHAT THE FUCK?
After that it was nothing but explosions and gun fire every fucking 3 minutes while trying to keep your mind off the fact that they forgot to write in a story, other than, "I got his artifact and he wants it back. THAT'S THE STORY??
The action felt like it would never go away. My eyes became numb as my brain craved some kind of story to cling to.
Every other scene was outrageous as the crew of the Enterprise has turned into the Avengers. Lt. Uhura has turned into a ninja warrior, Capt Kirk turned into Evil Knievel, and they turned Spock into an emotional little girl???
What happened to Star Trek?? Where are the juicy stories, with amazing new worlds? OK, that digital bendable city was ok to look at, but we've seen it a million times in other movies, in fact you can see the exact same city in the previews of Dr. Strange. Yawn. How about something NEW??? Where are the "Strange NEW Worlds" like Kirk says in the opening credits?
Kirk and Spock get a room already. Watching them get mushy is like watching a bad gay novela. And who is the genius who made Sulu Gay??? WHAT THE FUCK??? OK, sure, toss in some gays to be politically correct, but Sulu was never gay. How about turning Uhura into a lesbian? She can dump Spock for Carol Marcus...Now that would be some political correctness we all wouldn't mind seeing.
AND CAN SOMEBODY in the make up department create a NEW evil alien???
How many times do we have to see the same dam lizard man??? Must all the aliens have human bodies and faces???? (yes, I know he's a human underneath, but come on already)
Look familiar?
That's because his cousin was in Galaxy Quest.
