Movie Monday: Star Trek Beyond
This is already the third movie in the Star Trek reboot/alternate timeline movies. I know some people hate Star Trek and others just hate these reboot/alternate timeline movies but I actually like these movies. Sure they take something that was already there but take it in a different direction. Some people hate that, but others love it!
Is this movie better than the second movie?
Just as it was with the original Star Trek movies the second movie is the best movie and the third is a bit less impressive. But I would like to say that this third Star Trek movie is a lot better than the third original Star Trek movie. Things seem to be going well with the crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek Beyond but you quickly hear that things aren't really going so well with everyone. There are doubts and choices to be made, which leads to certain situations. But you're probably wondering who the big bad villain is and he is a bit different then what I expected, which is interesting but unfortunately he's not as interesting as Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. The action is quite intense and gives you something to look at while you stuff popcorn in your mouth (unless you're one of those people who can't eat or drink while watching a movie). In a lot of ways these movies looks cool and is cool, but in all honesty Into Darkness is just better in my opinion.
Are there moments that stand out?
Well you can't ignore the moment where alternate timeline Spock finds out that the future Spock that showed up in the first movie has died (the actor Leonard Nimoy had died earlier) and I'm glad they mention him because he's of course a legend in the Star Trek universe and deserves to be mentioned and honored. I also have to admit that I kept an eye on scenes with Chekov because the actor playing as Chekov (Anton Yelchin) died while they were making this movie, so I was wondering if this made the movie a bit different and at certain points you can see that. For example there are moments where you hear him speak but you don't see him on screen, which is a bit odd but of course but understandable if you know what happened. Another thing I noticed is that Sulu is gay in Star Trek, maybe this isn't news to some people but I didn't know that. Ok I know that George Takei, the actor who played Sulu in the original Star Trek series and movies, is gay but I didn't know that the character he played in Star Trek is also gay. Which was a bit surprising but it does make the Enterprise a place where everyone belongs and feels at home which is a good thing in my opinion.
