Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Star Trek Beyond (2016)




Directed by: Justin Lin

Written by: Simon Pegg & Doug Jung

Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, & Anton Yelchin








After receiving a mission to help out a citizen take back her planet, the crew is ambushed by an unknown group that plans to take over the universe, starting with Star Fleet and the Federation.  In order to protect himself, his crew, and everyone else, Captain Kirk (Pine) has to rediscover the reason why he joined Star Fleet in the first place.

So this film is better than the second one, but not the first.  Well they are all reasonably around the same score actually.

I like this one more though because the film tests unlikely relationships, such as Bones (Urban) and Spock (Quinto); the most and least emotional ones.  Because of this strategy, it creates humor in a horrific situation.

Plus the characters have character arcs that might not have happened had it been the same relationships that have occurred in the past films.

Other than that, the CGI is great.  Makeup and costumes on point.  There isn't much to complain about really.  It's similar to the other films, but just a different adventure this time with some more information about what's to come.  4 popcorns.
