Thank you!
I completely agree with everything you said.
The 3rd Star Trek movie in the reboot was dogshit. It was stupid beyond belief, and was all-action-zero-story. I hate saying it was "Fast and Furious in space" because it was directed by Justin Lin, but it really was "Fast and Furious in Space".
I saw the movie only once, and that was enough for me. Some of the things I hated about it were:
- Disregard for the rules of the Star Trek Universe.
- Total disregard for basic kindergarten-level physics & science.
- Complete lack of scale. The Enterprise looked like a toy. It moved like a jet plan instead of the massive ship that it is.
- Complete lack of distance. They got from the star base to the alien planet instantly like it was just next door.
- Totally STUPID resolution and method to beat the alien bad guys. I actually GROANED and FACE-PALMED at that scene, made fucking worse by over-use of the song "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys". (The song was already used before dumbasses!)
- Fucking RHIANNA singing the theme to Star Trek Beyond? WTF!
- The Enterprise had no character. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the Enterprise had a personality and was a thing of wonder. In Beyond, it's a disposable toy.
- The movie created zero sense of wonder for me. When I see a sci-fi movie, even if it takes place in a very familiar universe, I want to feel like I'm there.
It sucked it sucked it sucked!
I like almost all of the Star Trek movies for one reason or another. Even Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (Where they find "God", directed by William Shatner and considered the worst movie in the franchise), is better than BEYOND.
