Star Trek Beyond

The destruction of this venerable brand continues in this latest reboot sequel. This is not the contemplative sci-fi of the original series. It’s balls-out action all da way. As such, it’s enjoyable trash but the chemistry of the original crew is gone and the plot is your basic “stop the doomsday device” trope. The use of a Beastie Boys song in the climax is the worst of the worst. Simon Pegg should be ashamed.
