Just saw Star Trek Beyond.
It started off entertaining and i thought ok this is gonna be nice...
Not to go into spoilers.
But it was kinda like the second movie but altered,
crew gets a few punches, struggles and get back up, defeat bad guy in a very cheap way.
I hoped that the guy/race was Jem hadar and i hoped maybe they put in some Borg or something from the universe,
but NO!
I find the script again very lacking as its much more concentrated on action and the Beastie Boys
I really really liked the first one, i really do think its a classic sci fi although it doesnt has the "real" Star Trek feel/approach,
its just a good movie.
But these last two are inferior in many ways, i miss the passion of a Star Trek director/writer or whatever those guys are called who make these movies.
And Kirk is ok, but its also ok to end the movie when Kirk fails and although he lives its ok to let him fail,
because thats the real Kirk, a reckless roughneck who could take a few punches but also give some but not always wins.
Picard is more of the successor imo.
Would also be cool to have a small cameo from Voyager and the crew, where the Enterprise comes to aid the Voyager who is in a fight with an unknown vessel and when they arrive its a Borg cube and after a while they destroy it together and Voyager gets sucked into a vortex and voila, all these small things that could happen in a movie like this makes it all more interesting.
But now its just a simple action movie.
All this makes me wanna go and save on DS9 seasons and Voyager, i remember DS9 was pretty damn good back then.
