Just an amazing job. Great pew pew action to satisfy the peanut IQ millennial crowd. Wonderfully subtle tribute to Trek's 50th anniversary. Great character moments. Great pacing.
Thank you Justin.
Agree Justin did a great job with a limited budget & timeframe to work in.
shareI really liked the movie but how was the budget and timeframe "limited"? The budget was anywhere between $150-$185 mil which is massive for a Star Trek movie and they started working on the movie in May 2014. Neither was limited in the slightest.
shareMay 2014?
Orci was fired in late 2014.
Dec 2014 was when Justin Lin's pitch to Paramount was accepted.
From when he made his pitch, to the movie's release had only been 19 months!
Meyer made great Trek movies full of drama, tension, suspense, action and character development. Lin shot primitive and passable adventure with no story to tell, cartoonish bad guy, characters that has nothing to do except physical action and a vastly unexplored twist!
F- for you Justin for biggest creative flop since Nemesis.
You totally nailed it. Justin Lin turned Star Trek Beyond into another Fast & Furious. Shallow, action-driven, uninspiring movie experience.

I honestly don't understand all the praise. It's such a bland and forgettable movie. I put equal blame to Simon Pegg and JJ Abrams.
shareDid you mean he failed to make Trek into F&F? Since the F&F movies he directed is known for intricate action scenes and story with new emphasis on characters. He more or less made F&F a more respectable franchise.
shareHe's just trying to make the movie like the original TV series.

I don't agree. The story was like a plot for an episode of the show and I was fine with that. The only thing I agree with is that we needed more explanation of Edison, why the three of them really went rogue. Was it about revenge or was it about immortality?

I'm not sure I would go that far about Meyer. He did some fine films, but also some really cringeworthy stuff in those same films. I'm pretty sure he was the guy who wrote the lines "double dumbass on you" and "nuclear wessels" in ST IV, since he likes that kind of humor. And VI was even worse, with "If the shoe fits," the phaser in the galley, the cliches with the falsely announcing that Gorkon's killers were ready to make statements (which nobody with half a brain should have fallen for, much less a Vulcan who graduated at the top of her class) and the assassin with the rifle up high in the climax, as if an assassin who could bring in a disruptor rifle couldn't possibly bring an explosive device of some kind that could take out everybody, not just the chancellor, and he wouldn't have to stick around and possibly be captured and unmasked. These things were all just so trite and obvious, the lazy way to write a script.
