Star Trek Beyond

"Early on in Star Trek Beyond, we hear Kirk, via his Captain's Log, amusingly describe things on the Enterprise as having become "episodic" after several years in space. It's an articulation of the film's stated intention to evoke the spirit of the original series, a goal the film achieves without devolving into a nostalgia run."

"It’s a sturdily built movie that gets the job done, and it’s got a likable retro vibe."

"Powered by a spirited sense of adventure and a nice teamwork dynamic, it’s fun, but not essential, summer viewing."

"This is all fun all the time, a dizzying carnival of wisecracks, fisticuffs, explosions, chases and truly eye-popping effects."

"It is the inter-relationship of the Enterprise’s crew which is the real source of drama. An entertaining adventure."

"Star Trek Beyond is exactly what a Star Trek movie only ever really needs to be – a great episode. No more, no less."

"A highly entertaining entry guaranteed to give the franchise continuing life."

"A bold, entertaining spectacle."

"A return to fun, and a return to form for the new version of the old Trek."
