Star Trek Beyond - 星際爭霸戰:浩瀚無垠
Star Trek Beyond (星際爭霸戰:浩瀚無垠) is an 2016 film. The movie stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Idris Elba, Sofia Boutella, and Anton Yelchin. This is the third installment of the rebooted Star Trek from 2009 and it's sequel Star Trek Into Darkness. This is also one of Justin Lin's few movies outside of the Fast & Furious film franchise.
Kirk is having a mid life crisis and tries to find meaning in life. Spock seems to be going through some things too. As are the rest of the crew. When they go out for a recovery mission, but everything goes wrong and they get stranded or captured. They must rely on some locals that turn out to be mystery Starfleet crew from long ago that disappeared. When all is said and done, can they all survive and stay together?
I must say that the third time around, I wasn't so interested in their story. I think Justin Lin got dealt a raw deal from Abram's camp. The movie flopped as a result. But its Star Trek, they are successful and than flop and come back again. There's enough of a message in the franchise to keep it going.
