![]() It’s about time big Hollywood movies gave their villains something more to do than simply attempt to destroy the world or rule it. The real problem in the film, however, is the utter lack of stakes because of the rather lame mission of the villain. ![]() Most fun is the rocky relationship between Spock and Uhura, which is mined for comedy with Bones hurling some jibes as a running joke. The visual effects are predictably incredible and the witty banter between characters smack down in the middle of things going crazy is Star Trek fan service executed to perfection. Unlike a Michael Bay movie where things explode for the heck of it, the action actually manages to affect you in a good way. Lin wastes absolutely no time in any single scene - there’s always a sense of urgency, giving the film a tempo of a flaming truck. The plot might be painfully familiar to anyone who has watched a sci fi movie before, but it’s the execution that really matters in this film. The crew of the Enterprise (Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana and Pegg) are now deep into their mission to trawl outer space they stop over at a gigantic space station and discover a missing space ship which leads the to the uber villain Krall (Idris Elba). The story, co written by Star Trek super fan Simon Pegg, picks up a few years after the events of the previous movie. Chris Pine in a still from 'Star Trek Beyond'
