Star Trek - Beyond

Saw it this weekend. Liked the story and the movie over all.

My issues with it:

1. Ending part was a little weak on how they over came their adversaries.

2. Over all the story was good but predictable and the outcome/ending was sorta predictable. I thought there was going to be a change of heart at the end, but nope, the enemy was lost in his own grief.

3. Sulu...wtf is that? I wanted to see some gay bar action. Oh well.

I agree with 1.
I found the doomsday devise underwhelming.

First new Star Trek I saw since the first Abrams. It was really bad -- you would expect it to have a 60 on RT. It has more like 85%. I'm starting to doubt that site more and more by the day.

The opener was superfluous and didn't set anything up in addition to being retarded. The Beastie Boys thing had me cringing HARD. Scotty had 25 lines yet said "cannae" at least 15 times.

Also the title cards included Alibaba and another Chinese company?? Chang chongs finance our star trek movies now???

I thought it was a fun movie, had good special effects. Obviously it was stupid but I didn't go into the theater to see Star Trek directed by the Fast and the Furious guy expecting it to make me feel something

I saw that too and wasn't pleased to have Chinamen owning our media. It's like the last thing we make.

I seriously hope the new Star Trek series next year pulls way away from the Abrams motif and moves back closer to TNG/DS9/Voyager. We already know its going to be really different, but hopefully not this hokey action flick, Abrams alternate universe powered by lens flares.

I havnt seen beyond but I liked the other 2 Star Trek movies....then again i like all the new Star Wars movies also....must be due to the fact that I am not an unpleasable troll

I actually liked the star trek movies well enough. They just felt incredibly shallow to me as a star trek fan. Not unlike new mmos. Ya I can play them, and compared to other games they are ok, but compared to EQ they are horseshit.

im interested to see what the fuck happens with it.

Enterprise was a complete train wreck. I feel its going to be Enterprise 2.0 calling it now. Expect sex scenes again and other stuff they think will sell. Show will be off air in 1-2 seasons.

Oddly enough, I thought enterprise season 3 and 4 (the Xindi stuff esp) were just about the best star trek ever created and on par with TNG. I know it isn't a popular opinion, but it was fantastic for the 10 of us that made it past season 1. I've rewatched the series several times and always feel the first season is definitely lacking, but after that it really wasn't as bad as people made it out to be imo.

Personally, I'd be 100% happy with another Enterprise save that first awkward season.

X files remake was absolutely terrible and I predict a similar fate for any Star Trek series unless they make it an ongoing drama - unless they make it have an actual continuous story (unlike every other Star Trek franchise). People don't like the self contained episodes anymore because we can watch the entire series on netflix/DVR and are looking for more substance from TV shows.
