The USS Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.
What critics thought
Star Trek Beyond lands as a competent, entertaining entry in the reboot series that wears its love for the original show openly — but critics were split on whether that affection was a strength or a limitation. Fans of the classic episodic feel tended to embrace it warmly, while detractors found the plot too thin and forgettable to justify the blockbuster scale.
“Even with its big-screen pyrotechnics and its feature-length running time, Star Trek Beyond plays like an extended version of one of the better episodes from the original series, and I mean that in the best possible way.”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“injects a welcome strain of humor that's true to the original Gene Roddenberry creation, delivering nostalgia without stiff veneration”
David Rooney·The Hollywood Reporter
“a very familiar, old-fangled, no-mystery structure, and that's because it's basically the Star Trek version of an interplanetary action film, with a plot that doesn't take you to many new frontiers.”
Owen Gleiberman·Variety
“Star Trek Beyond is a Star Trek movie, although not an especially good one; The action sequences are frenetic, kinetic, and, at times, incoherent. This isn't unexpected; it's Lin's trademark. But the plot, credited to Simon Pegg & Doug Jung, is pure Trek. Unfortunately, it's also instantly forgettable.”
James Berardinelli·Reelviews
“[w]ith Beyond, it feels like just another summer tentpole with not enough going on underneath the tent.”
