Reviews thus far suggest Star Trek "Beyond" isn't another Final Frontier

or Nemesis, but it may not be as good as its predecessors.

For the most part reading the buzz about the reviews it seems this one is the closest one to TOS, unlike the first two reboots. Which while thats a good thing, could it hurt its chances at the B/O? Anyway.....


I think this movie is overcoming its odds in fantastic form. First we got a bland teaser (although I personally liked it), then we waited like 5 months or so for a really good, full length trailer. Which was good. Then we got Rihanna which is a total embarrassment for most singing a theme song for the movie, then a third trailer featuring her song (which was better then the teaser anyway). Then we had a controversial over thinking from IMDB and society in general over Sulu being gay, I myself got caught up on the wrong side of that. But at least I admit I was wrong and its a step in the right direction for Trek.

Anyway this movie isn't out of the woods yet, only 7 reviews, but only one rotten and even it doesn't slam it really.

I think we'll see a 65-75% on RT, which is excellent for a director that isn't known for overwhelming praise from critics (but mind you he did kickstart the Fast franchise in the right direction)

At any rate we shall see come next weekend if "Beyond" can keep the reboots alive and well, personally I hope so!
