Director Justin Lin’s Star
Trek Beyond gets off to a slow start, making me wonder when the drama,
if not action, was going to begin. But, once the action began, I kept wondering
what the hell was going on. Who was
doing what to whom and why?
The Enterprise was put through impossible feats and I
kept wondering what it could possibly be made of? But, then, alas, it proved vulnerable.
When Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) was wasting time by being
stupid in talking instead of acting against the nemesis Krall (Idris Elba) in
the climactic battle, I began to marvel on the wonderful job the Casting
Directors Miranda Davidson, April Webster and Aylssa Weisberg had done in
matching the look of the entire Star Trek crew to the original players on the
TV show.
Then,
however, Spock (Zachary Quinto) finds a photo of the original players and I was
whisked back into incomprehensibility, wondering if the current crew members were supposed to be clones of the
past? I could accept that Spock looked like his father, but everyone!?
I can only give this head
rush a 3.3 out of 5.
