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.

A fun popcorn movie that highlights the value of teamwork and a good playlist (priceless core values in life).

Rated: B+

National Newspaper Publishers Association

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.

Rated: 3.5/4

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.

Rated: C+

Slightly better than into darkness. But overall kind of forgettable! But not a bad movie tho. 🤷‍♂️

Didn't find it as captivating as the first two installments of this trilogy. Once again, so much exposition with the antagonists and just became a chore to watch. The entire prospect of their decision to begin the movie was borderline absurd. Going out with a whimper

Canon in fandom is silly because it's fake. That said, you need to work within the storyline/continuity. "Star Trek Beyond" didn't. (And it's partially why a separate timeline, the Kelvin timeline, had to be created.)

I watched this movie 3 times and still have no clue what was it about. What was Krall intention and what he was getting out of it. I saw when he sucked the energy out of two people but when his second in command said you brought us this far , what he meant by that. Its fun to watch but not a movie that stays with you.

Cgi is very cgi, lots of noise running and jumping. Not much to differentiate it from lots of super hero stuff. Entertaining enough for one's ahead of the curve. A little samey and dull for the ones after. Tos still can't be beat.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A very enjoyable sequel to Star Trek Beyond and even when it steals a few scenes, such as the Enterprise-D crash but it was better made.
