Kirk’s story arc is finally going where it has not gone before. There are lot of fun Easter Eggs for fans, but I would watch first and see if you can catch them all. From the opening scene where Kirk is recording his captain’s log, to the discovery of an old Federation ship that is basically an exact replica of the set in the Original Series, to the Spock/Bones chemistry as they are stuck together throughout the film. It *feels* like the old show in spirit, experience, and structure. This film has its own mission, to remind us all what we love most about Star Trek. It’s reverent to the The Original Series… Skip from the excellent 2009 film straight to this one and be on your way.Ģ.
So for all you Into Darkness haters, you can now officially chill out and pretend it never happened. No offense to the actress, but her character was one of things I most disliked about Into Darkness. The good news is, there really isn’t a lot of reference to it in Beyond, and I was especially glad they did not bring Alice Eve back. I’m honestly not one of those people, but I can understand the issues taken with the film. I know a lot of people did not like the second film in this series, Into Darkness. You can remove Into Darkness from the equation, if that’s your beef… I felt inspired to do something a little different for this review, and instead of the typical structure, I want to do a Top Five of my favorite things about the film.ġ.
ALICE EVE STAR TREK BEYOND SERIES
Though he did interject some convenient technology band-aids, and ridiculous action moments (my chief criticisms of the film), his talent for bringing an ensemble cast together, and bringing out the best in them, is very much noted.īeyond didn’t quite surpass the first film of this series for me, but it was a dang close second, and such a brilliantly fresh homage to The Original Series. I will admit I was too quick to judge Lin, and I saw the value of his direction in this film. I am not a fan of the Fast and Furious movies, so director Justin Lin was not a selling point for me, but trusted Simon Pegg’s writing and his devotion to Star Trek. (Despite its campiness and Shatner’s, uh, acting?) Though Next Generation is the better quality show, the crew of The Original Series is my favorite set of characters Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Uhura, and my personal favorite, Leonard McCoy aka: Bones.ĭue to the first trailer for Beyond being pretty awful, and overly summer blockbuster-y, I was hesitant. Abrams first film in this reboot series in 2009, I watched The Original Series and loved it too. I grew up watching The Next Generation, and after J.J.
