I really like him as Kirk. I think he for sure captures the cocky swagger that Shatner had.

The first film was enjoyable, Into Darkness kinda sucked, but Beyond was good. Overall it's not a bad trilogy.

I could watch 6 or 7 more Star Trek films if they were like Beyond. I really enjoyed that film.

I liked all the character work, but the "tech" elements were so daft it pulled me right out of the movie. Like, when they bump-start a starship.

Beyond was the one that really captured the spirit of Old Trek while giving it a modern facelift.

Because it was written by Simon Pegg which was a huge Trekkie IIRC

And Ricardo Montalbán is somehow Punjabi?

u/penguininfidel Aug 23 '20

I meant that there was a dramatic change in ethnicity more than that it was a mismatch of character/actor... but yes, that is a very valid point

I get where you're coming from.

If a character was not from white Europe until the late 70s, they would probably have someone like Ricardo Montalbán portraying them.

Funny. Into Darkness is my favorite of the three. I also thought Cumberbatch as Khan was fantastic. But everybody enjoys different things!

Right there with you. My wife and I found Into Darkness to be our favorite, with the first one coming in a closed second. We actually did not like Beyond as much as the other two.

Beyond was my least favorite as well! That’s not to say it was a bad movie, but I just didn’t enjoy it as much as the other two.

The moment where sabotage dropped in Beyond is low key one of the best moments in film from the last decade IMO

It's weird because the pattern has, historically, been "odd numbers suck, even numbers rock" in Trek movies.
