A surprise attack in outer space forces the Enterprise to crash-land on a mysterious world. The assault came from Krall (Idris Elba), a lizard-like dictator who derives his energy by sucking the life out of his victims. Krall needs an ancient and valuable artifact that's aboard the badly damaged starship. Left stranded in a rugged wilderness, Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of the crew must now battle a deadly alien race while trying to find a way off their hostile planet.

Critics Consensus

Star Trek Beyond continues the franchise's post-reboot hot streak with an epic sci-fi adventure that honors the series' sci-fi roots without skimping on the blockbuster action.

The result is a taut piece of filmmaking, with perfectly choreographed action scenes and a rapid-fire pace that only leaves time to gasp for air

The best thing about Beyond is that it remembers that the core strength of Star Trek is the camaraderie and friendship of the Enterprise's leadership unit.

Star Trek Beyond isn’t a bad film by any means, but its contrivances and off-focused writing stifles the film’s momentum and kills all continuity from the previous two films.

Star Trek Beyond is a great sequel to the previous two films and one of the strongest entries in the reboot series. It keeps the energy, action, and adventure that made the first films fun, while also feeling more focused and confident in its own identity. The cast works really well together, and the crew finally gets a chance to shine as a true team. The movie has a strong sense of momentum, with exciting action scenes, solid humor, and a few emotional moments that give it more heart than just another sci-fi blockbuster. It also captures the spirit of exploration that Star Trek is known for. What makes it stand out most is how entertaining it is from start to finish. It feels bigger, smoother, and more polished than the earlier films, while still staying true to the characters. Overall, Star Trek Beyond is a very satisfying sequel and a 9/10 in my book.

The best of the Kelvin trilogy - more character-driven and thoughtful. Still suffers from frenetic pacing that undermines quieter moments. Ultimately, the Kelvin Timeline feels like a dead end with little respect for the original franchise’s legacy. A missed opportunity to build something lasting.
