| shikamaru317 said: Skipping it. I was disappointed by the first two JJverse Star Trek movies, and this one looked even worse in the trailers. I don't trust movie critics all that much, they don't care about things like adhering to canon and the tone of the movie compared to the old Star Trek movies, things that an old school Trekkie like myself do care about. |
I'm with shika on this, although I do generally trust movie critics. I think Metacritic is a better judge of the critical consensus than RT. In that case Beyond is sitting on a 71.
This review from EW sums up everything wrong with Abrams' alternaverse: "Beyond is more fun than deep. It’s lightweight, zero-gravity Trek that is, for the most part, devoid of the sort of Big Ideas and knotty existential questions that creator Gene Roddenberry specialized in."
Looks like Beyond continues the trend.
