Star Trek Beyond is an extension of the movies that came before it. It makes the series feel connected and whole.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the franchise juggernaut comprising of small screen voyages and big continues to evoke nostalgia and inspire ingenuity.

But it’s the combination of these two qualities in the third installment of the reboot series — Star Trek Beyond — what makes it worth a trip.

To sum things up, get ready for some interesting side adventures, snappy dialogues, brilliant CGI, an entertaining score (the retro hit by Beastie Boys’ Sabotage) and also a relationship angle, for good measure. The kind of blend that is signature JJ Abrams (he has a co-producer credit). Then there’s the enemy leader Krall (Elba) who is bad to the bone no doubt, but without being over-the-top. A few logical fallacies aside, this one’s really enjoyable.

Go buy that ticket and strap in to explore new worlds with the Starship Enterprise. Enjoy the ride. We’re sure there are more to follow.

Director Justin Lin mixes eye-popping spectacle with good ol’ nostalgia in Star Trek Beyond, a sequel that lives up to the rich lineage of the Star Trek franchise.

…has both heart and action coupled with the aura that continues from the previous films, which makes it an entertaining film and definitely worth a watch.

With the climactic sequence pumping up the action and destruction, you are quite guaranteed a swell experience – especially since it’s quite bloodless and catering largely to boyish fantasies.

Overall, this film is like watching a big budget film of the original television series.

The movie is quite upbeat for the nightmarish times we live in. Star Trek always helped us understand that the possibilities are always endless, and the sweet and sincere nature of the film almost makes you believe that it could be true.

So here’s hoping the great adventure continues for another 50 years from here.
