Insider’s tip: “There’s a brisk sense of invention to the film, and it feels like it is breathlessly told, something that is due in large part to Justin Lin, who has been developing a very particular approach to blockbuster filmmaking. Yes, he’s fine with the big action mayhem that is par for the course with these films, but he understands that the thing that makes any of it interesting is making sure the audience really enjoys spending time with these characters” (Drew McWeeny, Hitfix). Stephen Whitty of the New York Daily News adds: “It’s not only filled with the usual special-effects eye candy, but smart, fan-focused writing.” Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times: “Even with its big-screen pyrotechnics and its feature-length running time, Star Trek Beyond plays like an extended version of one of the better episodes from the original series, and I mean that in the best possible way.” With a great cast and story, this latest in the ‘Trek’ series revives the deep emotions attached to the TV series within a framework of modern special effects.
