Star Trek, Beyond
Did you like Times Arrow? or The Killing game? Those are feature length Trek stories. Startrek Beyond is about as good as those. ( Edited 02/2020 ) Do you remember them now? Do you seek them out on Netflix?
Its not a great trek film, like the Wrath of Khan, or First Contact. Nevertheless I enjoyed Beyond . What I noticed, is that the Trek reboot, is clearly the daughter of Enterprise, rather then grandfather, of Next Generation-Voyager. There is a reference to the M.A.C.Os, and to the Xindi war.
I am curious about this, because I wonder if Enterprise has proved to be that popular, even in rerun or DVD or Netflix viewings
All of which leaves DS9 as the orphan of the series.
A shame, about Chekov. Sadly this will be the last time we see him. There is a nod, to George Takei who is now more famous as George Takei, rather then Sulu
The plot is quite simple. A bored Kirk, answers a distress call from a ship which has been lost in a nebula. The nebula clouds are presented on screen as asteroids Rather, then clouds of gas. The Enterprise goes to investigate. They are ambushed, and they crash land on the planet
The Yorktown, base looks great. Very visually striking
The villain is played by Iris Elba. Elba is under a lot of make up. The bad guys actually reminded me, of Mimbari, from B5
Jim does not seduce, the alien babe, on the planet. Shome misthake surely?
I enjoyed it. I thought it,was two decent, hours. Pretty straight forward script, but I will not remember it.( Looking back at this article a few years later I do not )
