How convenient!

Just thinking... maybe movies aint for you?

Convenient things happen like ALL THE TIME in pretty much ALL movies, though im with you a bit, they really stacked that pile high in this one. Save yourself from all this emotional pain and good luck in your future endeavors

It´s beer o´clock. Wheres my riot?

One thing krall actually hacked into the Enterprise's computer you see the scene change when spock puts the artifact away.

"Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions"

"Scotty is able to locate and transport Spock and McCoy on-board (while the rest of the crew are captured)
How convenient!"

Don't forget that happened as soon as they were spotted by the drones hahah. Look I actually enjoy these movies they're a fun ride, but there are so many times I find myself going "ok..let's just ignore how convenient that was" way more than your average film.

At this point I try to blame it on luck, it's the only thing that keeps me from being too over critical and keeping me from enjoying the movies.

I'm surprised you didn't mention how convient it was that Uhura had a tracking device...I mean necklace...given to her by Spock that allowed Spock and crew to track down her and the remaining crew's whereabouts.



Just because someone does something good for you, that doesn't mean they're good for you.

I agree with a lot of your points although some of it is nit picking but they are valid.

Actually the biggest convenience to me I'm shocked you didn't mention is the fact that its the Enterprise they sent to rescue them at all that just happens to have the device. And how did Krall and his people know they would even send the Enterprise? They basically just said they needed help, they could've sent almost anyone and their well thought out plan is already destroyed.

I have a hard time believing a space station that size and literally parked next to the expanse wouldn't already have other ships for basic rescue missions or scout ships. I mean what if the Enterprise wasn't there? There would be no one to go to their rescue? Maybe they would just call someone else but it always felt odd to me ONLY the Enterprise can save them when you would think if they are so close to the expanse part of that reason would be to send in scientific vessels to explore it.

And lets be more honest the film didn't even need the base as part of the story as they could've just attacked them in space once they got word the Enterprise had it. I'm still not sure why they just didn't do that since it was made pretty clear Krall had the option to do it instead of luring them to the planet in a convoluted way.

I liked the film overall and nothing in it was as nearly bad as STID which wasn't just convenience issues but plain idiocy that happened a lot in that movie. I still can't believe we have to believe Marcus would be stupid enough to hand over all the incriminating evidence of Khan's people to the Enterprise when it would take all five minutes to get rid of them himself, but now the 'proof' they needed he was up to no good...talk about convenience. Its still one of the biggest WTF issues in that movie.

But yes Beyond had problems but not anymore than most films like this do.

;Krall sends Kalara to the Yorktown to bait the Enterprise into the nebula with a rescue story. How does he know Kirk has the artifact? How does he know the Enterprise will be at Yorktown? How does he know Starfleet will send the Enterprise to the rescue?

TRinzler ... Kudos to you. you are so right on every point except Krall doesn't find the artifact in a storage room... it was hidden inside some aliens head.. but hey! same thing.




Smoke me a kipper. I'll be back for breakfast
