Star Trek Beyond starting off with great reviews...
Looks like Cindy and I may have a rare date day and see this movie this weekend, at her request. So that means I'll have to see it again with Andrew later...so it better be good!
Time travel is fine by me...but agreed about the Enterprise being destroyed all the time, enough already, lol...
If true, this is the weird fail of this series -- they did Khan in their second movie, blow up the Enterprise in their third, and will time travel for the fourth -- following the plot elements for the TOS film crew's ST II-IV. This series really needs to come up with its own iconic moments.
But in spite of that, destroying up the Abramsverse ship would be a selling point for me, ending that visual abomination's reign of besmirching the name Enterprise.
Sorry, I'm not onboard about the "Abramsverse" ship being an abomination...I dig it a lot...my issue is with blowing it up in every friggin movie...including the original and next generation flicks...it's gotten so old...enough of that already.

Saw it last night. It's pretty close to non-stop action. I enjoyed it, but had some minor quibbles with it. I liked the way they use the whole cast in this one. They give every character a purpose.
Saw it tonight, kind of a mixed bag for me. Some enjoyable moments between characters, but a thin plot and villain that didn't do much for me. Also, while some of the visuals (poor, poor Enterprise) are pretty astounding, a lot of the action felt familiar and boring after a time. I'd give the movie a solid B.
I don't care about critics reviews. I want to hear fans reviews and the referencing of Rotten Tomatoes site says to me: they know the audience they really want to bring back to it. So I caved and had to see it. I liked it a lot.
It's a very good summer movie, and very Star Trek. It's at least as good as the first reboot, and probably better, making it in the top half of all the Trek movies.
It's doing ok at the boxoffice. I really think Paramount, who is struggling, under promoted the film. Plus when I went, there were very few under 21 in the audience, and that group is where the big $ comes from.

I would agree with that. I liked the first reboot movie, but that was sort of the origin story movie. This one takes it right to where Star Trek is supposed to be. I thought it was great!

They really shot themselves in the foot with that first trailer, which inspired confidence in almost no one, as well as their recent fan relations catastrophe where they killed off nearly all fan film projects in one fell swoop.
I'm really torn over this. I want the film to succeed because it's actually worthy of it, but I also want Paramount to feel the pain of their poor decisions.
