The film was also met by critics who were less taken with the film. Kyle Smith of the New York Post gave the film 1 stars out of 4 and he commented that the filmmakers "should have called it Star Trek Into Drowsiness." Smith later added, "Beyond is tepid when it's trying to be emotional, moronic when it's trying to be thrilling and unfunny when it's trying to be non-unfunny. It lacks a storytelling module: Things just click into place when needed, as when Kirk commands Scotty to rev up a busted old spaceship, Scott says it's impossible, and 14 seconds later everything is ready to rip."[100] James Berardinelli of Reelviews gave 2 stars out of 4, writing: "Star Trek Beyond is a Star Trek movie, although not an especially good one; The action sequences are frenetic, kinetic, and, at times, incoherent. This isn't unexpected; it's Lin's trademark. But the plot, credited to Simon Pegg & Doug Jung, is pure Trek. Unfortunately, it's also instantly forgettable."[101] Dave Robinson of outlet Crash Landed writes that "Star Trek Beyond fails to push beyond its own roots and becomes just another very safe sci-fi popcorn movie in an increasingly crowded market, that will likely have you leaving the theatre feeling exactly as you entered."[102] Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C+ and wrote, "[w]ith Beyond, it feels like just another summer tentpole with not enough going on underneath the tent."[103]

Hey, I'm Karl, founder and film critic at Smash Cut. I started Smash Cut in 2014 to share my love of movies and give a perspective I haven't yet seen represented. I'm also an editor at The New York Times, a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, and a member of the Online Film Critics Society.
Director Justin Lin was joined by cast members Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana and actor/writer Simon Pegg at the red carpet event. Lin, who took over the reins from J.J. Abrams for the third film in the rebooted franchise, said he had spoken to numerous people in China before making the movie. "I talked to a lot of people on why they go to movies, what kind of movies they want to see. And the thing that I got back was that everyone here, such great people and they work so hard, and they want to get a sense of like to escape and to really kind of just enjoy, have fun, laugh and enjoy big action, and I feel like this movie is tailor-made for the Chinese audience," said Lin.The film's screenplay is co-written by Simon Pegg, who returns as the character Scotty. Speaking at a press conference after walking the red carpet, Pegg said "Star Trek Beyond" can also be enjoyed by complete newcomers to the franchise. "If you've never seen a "Star Trek" film, this is a great place to start. It'll introduce you to the characters, it'll give you the taste of what it is all about. If you have seen "Star Trek" before then there are benefits there also. But if you're new to "Star Trek," come and join the party, because it's a cracking one," said actor and co-writer Simon Pegg."Star Trek Beyond" sees Pine and Quinto take on their previous roles as Captain James T. Kirk and Commander Spock respectively. Quinto admits that last year's death of the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, has affected his portrayal of the legendary character in this movie."I don't think I feel like extra pressure. I feel a little bit more of a sense of the responsibility of honoring Leonard (Nimoy) and his legacy and the legacy of the character that he created," said Quinto. "Star Trek Beyond" opens in China on Sept. 2nd.
Eventually, Captain Kirk and his officers learn the alien artifact is actually half of a hand-sized super-powerful weapon that can drain and consume the life out of a whole planet full of people or just a small group. Krall wants to use the weapon, along with his destructive swarm of small indestructible spaceships, to destroy the Federation, starting with the large Yorktown space station containing thousands of civilians and Starfleet personnel. Krall intends to torture the captured Enterprise crewmembers one by one, including Sulu and Uhuru, until one of them, or Captain Kirk, reveals where Kirk hid the artifact.
Unfortunately, unlike the thoughtful and nuanced television series, The Next Generation movies are often uniformly dumb, and not in a campy, silly sort of way. They're more annoying than charming, and that is no exception here. But it is fun to see Tom Hardy in such an early role in his career. Thankfully, it's safe to say that things worked out for the British actor in the long run, despite this big hiccup.
That said, William Shatner's direction leaves a lot to be desired. After four movies, and his co-star Leonard Nimoy commendably calling the shots on the last two, Shatner's ego got in the way and he decided it was his time to be in the director's chair with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. The results, sadly, weren't particularly great.
The novelty of the old school '66-era uniforms hasn't quite worn off, but each of the three films often seems to be bending over backward to keep Kirk, at least, in something other than the gold command shirt. The timing would be right for a style upgrade -- yet perhaps still in retrograde: a nostalgic but modernized tweak on the classic red-jacketed uniforms of "Star Treks II-VI" would warm even a Vulcan's logical heart. "Beyond" started to take the franchise -- well, beyond -- some of the trappings of "Star Trek's" 50-year history, and a visual upgrade could be just what it needs to cross beyond the final fashion frontier.
