Following the fan backlash
against Star Trek: Into Darkness
and its recycling of the events
of The Wrath of Khan, the third
new Trek film hits the reset
button with a very traditional
adventure and a new director at
the helm. Fast and the Furious
franchise regular Justin Lin
brings things back up to warp
speed, destroying the Enterprise
(again) and leaving the crew stranded on a hostile alien
world. Separated by the crash, the disparate group
must reunite to defeat reptilian villain Krall (Idris Elba),
who has a major grudge against the Federation and is
seeking an ancient artifact in Kirk’s possession. Star
Trek Beyond also introduces a striking new alien in the
form of Jaylah (Sofia Boutella), who becomes a valuable
ally in the fight against Krall. Channelling the spirit of
the Original Series in both tone and production design,
co-writer Simon Pegg and self-confessed Trekker Lin
have delivered a fan-friendly film that will also appeal
to a mainstream audience. This is Star Trek for Gen Y,
featuring a theme song by Rihanna (!) along with some
Beastie Boys to pump up the action. SH (See page 34)
The fast and the Federation.
STAR TREK BEYOND
Swimming, swimming,
swimming... It’s something that
blue tang Dory is ace at. This is
no great surprise, of course, for
she is a fish. One thing she’s
not great at, unfortunately, is
remembering stuff, and this is at
the heart of this sequel to 2003’s
much loved Finding Nemo. It’s a
year since we last caught up (fish
years must be different to human
ones), and Dory has become a
part of Marlin and Nemo’s family. While accompanying
Nemo in class one day, Dory has a flashback, briefly
remembering that she has a family herself. So,
she has to go and look for them right? Of course!
Unfortunately, however, her forgetfulness proves to
be a barrier. Luckily she has friends likes Marlin and
Nemo, who vow to accompany her on her quest. A
quick ride from Crush (dude!) and they’re on their way
to where Dory thinks she came from. But naturally
events conspire to make the journey more difficult
than any of them had ever imagined. Pixar don’t always
nail sequels, but they’ve really hit the hammerhead on
the nail here. Or, uh, something like that. AF
An unforgettable journey she probably won’t remember.
