*At first i have to apologize: Sorry for the bad English, I am not a
native speaker.*
I am a big fan of the Star Trek Series and when I was young I loved the
old series and movies. When in 2009 the first "new" Star Trek movie
arrived I was excited about the good cast and the intelligent Plot. The
second one doesn't have this tricky intelligent story the first film
has, but was also a good movie. The Third one with the sub title
"Beyond" is unfortunately more like the second movie, but pro's first
and here we go. Star Trek Beyond from director Justin Lin, who is known
for Fast and Furious, bring some good action on the big screen. In
"loud" moments Lin is in his element. Lin knows how to make some good
dynamic action scenes. My personal Highlight is the Enterprise fighting
scene with Beastie Boys Sabotage underlaid. This part of the movie is
very entertaining and in these points the movie has his great strength.
Also so the Cast is very lovely and with Sofia Boutella as Jaylah there
is another coherent likable character. The whole cast perfectly matched
and I hope to see all of these guys back in Star Trek 4 (a silent
minute for Anton Yelchin, Rest in Piece!). So the action is strong, the
cast is strong, whats wrong with the movie? Why it is not a 10/10 for
me? So I think the story is the first problem for me. I can't help me,
but the whole story is for me more a reason to go beyond different
places, then a real continuation of the Star Trek saga. The hole film
feels like a episode of the series but in a negative way. There is a
bad guy who is bad and good guys who are good. Lin just manages not
quite the whole to give it more depth and make the plot more
interesting. I don't want to Spoil anybody, but the motivation of the
antagonist is not very resourceful in my opinion. We all know why
Captain Kirk and his crew do what they do, but there enemy is a little
bit "flat". Maybe I don't get it right now or doesn't understand the
big point and when I see this movie a second time I will find it, but
for now Beyond has the weakest Plot. The second Point is very
subjective, but for me the tracking shots were a bit to fast so that
the motion blur make some whole scene not pleasant. Maybe the 3D
supports this effect, but the many "moving the camera" in a circle
about objects and characters were a bit too much. I never become Motion
sick in any Movie. I saw the movie "Hardcore Henry" without motion
sickness, but in Beyond there were some moments I have to close my
eyes. With 48 frames per second I think this problem would be fixed,
but with cinematic 24 frames a second it was not perfect in my opinion.
Otherwise you become a typical Star Trek movie and it is fun to watch
it. I think it is a Cinema Cinema Film, so watch it on the Big screen
with good sound. So guys please don't hate me, but in my opinion this
is the weakest one of all 3 Movies. Please don't get me wrong. "Beyond"
is not a bad movie, but it stands like "into darkness" in the shadow of
the brilliant first "new" Star Trek movie. So the "genre-rating" for
fans is around 8.5. For everybody else it is a solid 7. So all in all
it's a 7.75 what we can round up to 8/10.
