Jasmine Curtis-Smith also essays her tragic role with admirable restraint, and the rest of the cast and crew must be credited with surrounding the country’s biggest love team with all the ballast they need to acquit themselves as credible actors.

2-STAR TREK (2009) – The first reboot directed by J.J Abrams introduced us to the new-old crew is done about perfectly as you could hope for if you are a true Trek fan.
Star Trek Beyond is a vast improvement from the sloppy Into Darkness, bringing it on par with the excellent “09 reboot in terms of sheer quality and chemistry”.
Not only that, anyone who purchases two tickets to the movie marathon via GV’s website or iGV app will stand a chance to win one of the ten movie hamper sets given away by GV.
“As wonderful as this is to be here with all of you and to be celebrating the 50th anniversary of ‘Star Trek, ‘ there is something wrong tonight”.
Added Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock, “The great thing about Star Trek is there are limitless possibilities and combinations of story and I think [Star Trek Beyond] proves that in a lot of ways and I can’t wait to see where all of us go to from here”. As the Star Trek “canon” grew over the decades, it became ever-more complex, allowing less and less freedom to tell stories.
The original series, “Star Trek” historian Mark A. Altman says, was “progressive” in that it included characters from different cultures, and eschewed national exceptionalism – a theme that still speaks to us.
Featuring a script co-written (with Doug Jung) by Simon Pegg, who again plays Scotty, the film starts off on a serious note, with Kirk (Chris Pine) stating his name as he’s trying to broker a treaty with an apparently fierce alien race, immediately erupts into raucous comedy, then calms down to offer a glimpse of life aboard the USS Enterprise during the third year in its five-year mission. “As a society, we’re not ideal by any means”.
If, that is, we want to get beyond “Star Trek Beyond”.
“To be so fluent in the language of music, you can actually change how I feel or help me to experience this film in a certain way”, says the actor, “it’s something I absolutely defer to as genius”. “In a way, he was the Sidney Poitier of television”. Spock and Kirk may have received more screen time in previous installments, but the setup of “Beyond” makes sure that each characters gets their due, particularly fan favorites like Chekhov and Bones.
Zoe Saldana and Sofia Boutella turned heads on the red carpet Wednesday. “My mission is not color”. While the former film successfully introduced fresh-faced new versions of the Enterprise crew to audiences-including the rebellious Captain Kirk (Chris Pine), his stoic First Officer Spock (Zachary Quinto) and surly ship’s doctor Bones (Karl Urban)-Into Darkness got overly ambitious, essentially offering a backdoor remake of 1982’s The Wrath of Khan.
Cho was conscious of racial representation, as well – like when he asked the filmmakers to cast his “Beyond” spouse.
But I suppose had Elba been an unadorned baddie all along, the Enterprise might really have finally met its match. My brothers and I would talk our way into hanging out with them.

Takei surprised many fans this month when he expressed dissatisfaction with the decision to out Sulu. So Chambers says he understands why Abrams chose to hit the reset button and imagine Star Trek as it might be in an alternate universe.
