I like TOS, TNG, some of DS9, and the first 4 TOS movies. I'm struggling to remember the TNG movies save for Generations (I saw it in theatres). It was okay.

I also like the first JJ Trek. The 2nd was meh. I didn't like the last one much at all.

I like the first JJ Trek too actually.  Generations I found quite disappointing though. And First Contact was a tad overrated at the time, I would say.

Give me Wrath of Khan, Search For Spock (underrated imo) and Voyage Home anyday, which can be purely viewed as a trilogy, even though it wasn't officially released / labeled as such.

I thought the first was okay and Into Darkness was utter garbage.

Beyond was the best of the 3 new Treks. The biggest issue it had was having yet another villain who was out for revenge. But aside from that it was a solid movie with great chemistry amongst the cast. I really liked that it was set during the 5 year mission compared to the other two movies which were not. Was a nice return to the trekking of Trek.

I concur with this assessment. I thought the reboot was a clever way to do it and made sense within the rules of the universe. But it still had some daft decisions. I'll never get over them letting Kirk keep the Enterprise. It was so f**king stupid. Into Darkness was just pure trash. But Beyond I thought was more more within the spirit of Star Trek and genuinely good.

The final nail for me was the Beastie Boys super weapon. Its so cool and immeasurably stupid at the same time.

It delved into 90s budget action a few times before that. I wasn't impressed with much of the design aesthetic. The cast is the best thing.

It has a lot of high points though. I can admit that.

It was also made good by the fact one didn't need to see Into Darkness to understand the plot. Heck, you probably didn't even need to see the first JJ movie.

I thought that was silly but was fitting. Perhaps it was the Beastie Boys that made it feel stupid, I mean had it be something Picard was utilising they would have been blasting out Heart of Oak.

I think about 85-90% of Into Darkness is really, really good, but the last stretch where it just repeats Wrath of Khan and ends with a meh chase scene bring it down a fair bit.

Qo'nos is very Star War-ish in Into Darkness.

Ugh. This so much. Didn't the intended original director say they wanted to make Star Trek Beyond more like Guardians of the Galaxy?

I'm with you brother. I'd rank them:

Star Trek >>>>> Star Trek ID > Star Trek Beyond

With the first film being the only one I own on blu.

I feel strongly that Beyond is the best of the new ST films.

True, but it felt more organic, natural if you will when it was young Kirk stealing his Dad's classic car and turning on the radio, trying to outrun a cop. For me, in Beyond, it was a bit of an eyeroll.
