The 3rd Star Trek movie in the reboot was dogshit. It was stupid beyond belief, and was all-action-zero-story. I hate saying it was "Fast and Furious in space" because it was directed by Justin Lin, but it really was "Fast and Furious in Space".
I saw the movie only once, and that was enough for me. Some of the things I hated about it were:
- Disregard for the rules of the Star Trek Universe.
- Total disregard for basic kindergarten-level physics & science.
- Complete lack of scale. The Enterprise looked like a toy. It moved like a jet plan instead of the massive ship that it is.
- Complete lack of distance. They got from the star base to the alien planet instantly like it was just next door.
- Totally STUPID resolution and method to beat the alien bad guys. I actually GROANED and FACE-PALMED at that scene, made fucking worse by over-use of the song "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys". (The song was already used before dumbasses!)
- Fucking RHIANNA singing the theme to Star Trek Beyond? WTF!
- The Enterprise had no character. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the Enterprise had a personality and was a thing of wonder. In Beyond, it's a disposable toy.
- The movie created zero sense of wonder for me. When I see a sci-fi movie, even if it takes place in a very familiar universe, I want to feel like I'm there.
It sucked it sucked it sucked!
I like almost all of the Star Trek movies for one reason or another. Even Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (Where they find "God", directed by William Shatner and considered the worst movie in the franchise), is better than BEYOND.

oh, and one last thing.... Funny how the Enterprise was a few years into their deep space mission, supposedly in space where no man has gone before... yet there was a Federation base near by for them to access?? Makes no fucking sense.
They write this shit for 12 year olds. The original TV series had more thought applied to the scripts than these new films do.
