Star Trek Beyond is a 2016 American science fiction action film directed by Justin Lin from a screenplay by Simon Pegg and Doug Jung, based on the series Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry. It is the thirteenth film in the Star Trek film franchise and the third installment in the reboot series, following Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013). Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto reprise their roles as Captain James T. Kirk and Commander Spock, with Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho and Anton Yelchin reprising their roles from the previous films. Idris Elba and Sofia Boutella also join the cast.

Principal photography began in Vancouver on June 25, 2015. The film premiered in Sydney on July 7, 2016 and was released in the United States on July 22, 2016. Beyond marks one of the final film appearances of Yelchin, who died in a car accident a month before its scheduled release.[4] The film is dedicated to the memory of Yelchin as well as fellow Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy, who died during pre-production.[5] The film received positive reviews, with many praising the performances, visual effects, and tributes to Yelchin and Nimoy, and has grossed over $89 million worldwide.[6][2]

Plot

Three years into its five-year voyage, the USS Enterprise arrives at Starbase Yorktown to replenish dwindling supplies while the crew takes shore leave. Struggling to find continued meaning in their mission, Captain James Kirk has applied for a promotion to Vice Admiral of Yorktown. Meanwhile, Hikaru Sulu reunites with his husband and daughter, Spock and Nyota Uhura have amicably ended their relationship, and Montgomery Scott works to keep the ship operational. Spock also receives word that Ambassador Spock has died.

An escape pod drifts out of a nearby nebula. The survivor, Kalara, claims her ship is stranded on Altamid, a planet in the nebula, and the Enterprise is dispatched on a rescue mission. The rescue turns into an ambush when the Enterprise is overwhelmed by a massive swarm of ships and is badly damaged. The swarm's alien commander, Krall, boards the ship searching for an alien artifact that Kirk had obtained on a recent mission. The swarm rips apart the Enterprise and the saucer section crashes to the planet as the crew abandons ship in escape pods.

On the planet's surface, Sulu, Uhura and other surviving crew are captured by Krall. Kirk and Chekov, accompanied by Kalara, find the crashed saucer section. Kalara is discovered to be Krall's ally when she attempts to retrieve the artifact for him. To escape Krall's crew, Kirk activates the still-functional boosters, causing the saucer to lurch forward and crush Kalara. Meanwhile, a seriously wounded Spock and Leonard McCoy search for the other survivors. Spock tells McCoy that he intends to leave Starfleet to continue Ambassador Spock's work on New Vulcan. Meanwhile, Scotty is rescued by Jaylah, a scavenger who previously escaped Krall's encampment. She takes him to her makeshift home, the wreck of the USS Franklin, an early-generation Starfleet vessel that went missing over a hundred years ago. With Scotty's help, the ship is repaired, and Scotty, Kirk and Chekov, and McCoy and Spock, reunite using the ship as a base. The group plans to raid Krall's camp to rescue the crew and transport them to the Franklin then escape the planet. Meanwhile, Krall coerces a member of Kirk's crew to hand over the artifact that she had kept hidden for Kirk. Krall reveals the artifact is the missing half of an ancient bioweapon that can disintegrate a humanoid lifeform in seconds. With the device now complete, Krall intends to attack Yorktown and kill its inhabitants, and, using its advanced technology, go on to attack the Federation.

Kirk and the others free the crew as Krall launches from the planet with the bioweapon, and leading his fleet to Yorktown. The Enterprise crew pursues Krall in the Franklin. Scotty transports Spock and McCoy into one of Krall's drone ships where they eject the crew. They discover how the drone vessels coordinate. Krall's communications is disrupted with VHF transmissions, causing mass confusion that results in the fleet's destruction. Krall and his three remaining officers crash in Yorktown. As Krall escapes into the city, Uhura and Kirk discover from the Franklin's logs that Krall is actually Balthazar Edison, the captain of the Franklin. A human soldier from before the Federation's formation, Edison became disillusioned with his life and purpose after peace was established with humanity's enemies. When he and his crew were stranded in the nebula, he believed he had been deliberately cast aside. Having prolonged his life using the planet's alien technology that also physically deformed him, Krall/Edison now plans to destroy the Federation in revenge. Kirk pursues Krall into the Yorktown's ventilation system where Krall attempts to unleash the bioweapon on the entire station. Kirk forces Krall into a portal, causing the weapon and Krall to be ejected into space, where the weapon consumes Krall. Spock and McCoy save Kirk before he is blown into space.


Kirk is offered the promotion to Vice Admiral, but he opts to remain as captain of the Enterprise. Spock receives a box containing some of the personal effects of Ambassador Spock; reflecting on an included photograph of the aged crew of the Enterprise from the series's original timeline (circa Star Trek V: The Final Frontier), he chooses to remain in Starfleet and resumes his relationship with Uhura. Jaylah is accepted into Starfleet Academy on Scotty's recommendation. As the crew celebrates Kirk's birthday, they view the construction of their new ship, the USS Enterprise-A.

Cast

Star Trek Beyond marked one of the final film performances of Anton Yelchin, who died in a car accident on June 19, 2016. The film was dedicated in his and Leonard Nimoy's memories.

Leonard Nimoy appears in a photo cameo as Spock Prime, whilst also appearing alongside George Takei, Walter Koenig, William Shatner, James Doohan, DeForest Kelley, and Nichelle Nichols as Sulu, Chekov, Kirk, Scott, McCoy, and Uhura in a photo cameo from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

Production

Development

With Abrams returning as only a producer of the third film, while focusing on directing Star Wars: The Force Awakens,[9][10][11][12] writer Roberto Orci was set to replace him as director in May 2014.[13][14][15] However, in December, Orci's role was changed to producer only as well,[16] with Edgar Wright considered to replace him, along with a shortlist of directors, including Rupert Wyatt, Morten Tyldum, Daniel Espinosa, Justin Lin and Duncan Jones.[17] Also, Star Trek actor and film director Jonathan Frakes expressed interest in the job.[18] At the end of the month, Lin was announced as director of the third installment.[19]

Screenplay

In 2013, Orci had begun writing the script with Patrick McKay and John D. Payne,[20][21] with Payne saying of the script in March, "We really want to get back to the sense of exploration and wonder. The kind of optimistic sense of the future that Star Trek has always kind of had at its core. It's the Chicago Bulls in space, in terms of these people who are all awesome at their job."[22] In January 2015, after Orci's departure, Simon Pegg and Doug Jung were hired to rewrite the screenplay,[23] with Pegg saying on the previous draft, Paramount "had a script for Star Trek that wasn't really working for them. I think the studio was worried that it might have been a little bit too Star Trek-y." Pegg had been asked to make the new film "more inclusive", stating that the solution was to "make a western or a thriller or a heist movie, then populate that with Star Trek characters so it's more inclusive to an audience that might be a little bit reticent."[24] Orci, Payne and McKay are given official "written by" credit, alongside Pegg and Jung, although Pegg clarified that neither he nor Jung had read the existing script before crafting their own for the film.[25] Paramount later announced Payne and McKay will write the next installment.

Casting

The first film's major cast members signed on for two sequels as part of their original deals.[26] In 2014, early in the film's development, William Shatner said that he was contacted by producer Abrams to see if he would be interested in a possible role, but as the process continued and the script changed hands, the role never materialized.[27][28] In March 2015, Idris Elba was in early talks to play the villain, and he was confirmed for the role in the following months.[29][30] Pegg noted that the villain would be an original one, rather than a known antagonist from past stories in the Star Trek franchise.[31] In April, Sofia Boutella joined the cast in a lead role,[32] and in early July, Deep Roy was confirmed to reprise his role of Keenser.[33] That month, Joe Taslim was added to the cast opposite Elba's villain,[34] and by August, Lydia Wilson joined as well.[35] In March 2016, Shohreh Aghdashloo was cast as the High Command of the Federation for reshoots on the film.[36]

Filming

Principal photography on the film began on June 25, 2015, in Vancouver,[37] and Squamish, British Columbia, after several delays caused by multiple script rejections.[38][39][40][41] Additional filming locations were Seoul, South Korea and Dubai, UAE.[42][43] Principal filming ended on October 15, 2015. In March 2016, production underwent reshoots, with Aghdashloo added to the cast.[36]

Music

Main article: Star Trek Beyond (soundtrack)

In August 2015, composer Michael Giacchino confirmed that he would return to write the score.[44] On June 26, 2016, Barbadian singer Rihanna released a teaser across her social media accounts for a single for the film entitled "Sledgehammer", and the song premiered the following day.

Release

The film was released in 2D, RealD3D and IMAX 3D. In August 2014, it was announced that Paramount had pushed back the release of the film to 2016, for the 50th anniversary celebration of the debut of Gene Roddenberry's original sci-fi series.[45] In December, it was announced that the film was to be released on July 8, 2016.[46] In September 2015, the film's release date was pushed back to July 22, 2016.[47] The film was released in Dolby Cinema format in selected theaters.[48] The film had its Australian premiere in Sydney on July 7.[49]

Marketing

A teaser trailer for the film was released on December 14, 2015,[50] and was criticized heavily for focusing too much on action, and for featuring the Beastie Boys song "Sabotage", which many considered out of place, despite its use in the first film of the rebooted series. Pegg expressed similar thoughts of dissatisfaction with the teaser, saying that he "didn't love it" because "I know there's a lot more to the film." He considered the trailer to be the marketing team saying "Come and see this movie! It's full of action and fun!"[51] A second trailer was released on May 20, 2016, to warmer reviews.[citation needed] A third and final trailer was released on June 27, 2016, featuring Rihanna's single "Sledgehammer".

Reception

Box office

As of July 24, 2016, Star Trek Beyond has grossed $59.6 million in North America and $30 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $89.6 million.[2] It had a global opening of $89.6 million and an IMAX opening of $11.6 million on 571 IMAX screens.[52]

In the United States and Canada, the film was projected to gross $50–60 million in its opening weekend. It opened alongside two new wide releases – the animated Ice Age: Collision Course and the horror Lights Out – but critics noticed that the film did not face any direct competition with them.[53][54] It opened across 3,928 theaters, of which 391 were IMAX.[55] It made $5.5 million from Thursday previews from 3,100 theaters, an improvement over its two immediate predecessors. Of that, the film grossed $1.1 million on 387 IMAX screens. This includes revenues generated from Wednesday night, when Paramount screened all Star Trek films, which concluded with a 10pm screening of Beyond.[56][57][58][59] On its opening day, it earned $22.5 million, which was the second-biggest among the franchise, only behind Star Trek ($30.9 million), the third-biggest opening day of the summer for a live-action film and the second-biggest opening day of the year for a non-comic book superhero live-action film, behind only The Jungle Book.[60] It earned an estimated $59.6 million in its opening weekend, which is the third-biggest debut among the franchise but the lowest of the reboot series (behind Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness for both). Adjusted for inflation, it ranks fourth behind the aforementioned films and Star Trek: First Contact ($60 million).[61] It performed exceptionally well in IMAX making $8.7 million in 387 IMAX screens.[62] The film came in 14% lower than the opening of its immediate predecessor, Star Trek Into Darkness, but box office experts noted that the fall was mild in comparison to other sequels of the 2016.[63] Paramount reported that the film was performing on par with the studio's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.[62]

Internationally, the film will be released across approximately 74 markets with a scattered release pattern.[55][52] It opened in 37 markets in conjunction with its North American release in its first weekend, including in the U.K., Germany and Australia — territories where the franchise has traditionally performed extremely well. It earned a total of $30 million from the said number of markets which is a tad lower than Star Trek Into Darkness' $31.7 million international debut in 2013. Paramount said that the heatwave in Europe negatively impacted the weekend's results. Beyond debuted at first place in 16 of them and recorded the biggest opening weekend ever for the franchise in 17 markets, including Russia, Taiwan and Thailand.[52] Beyond also set numerous records in IMAX theaters. Led by very strong results in the U.K. and Russia, it grossed an estimated weekend of $3.2 million on 184 screens besting Star Trek Into Darkness' $2.8 million debut.[52]

The highest international tallies were recorded in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Malta ($6.1 million), Germany ($4.5 million), Russia and the CIS ($3.3 million), Australia ($3 million) and Taiwan ($1 million).[52]

Star Trek Beyond is yet to open in big markets like France and Korea (August 18), Spain (August 19), Brazil (September 1), China and Mexico (September 2), Turkey, Japan (October 21), and throughout Latin America.[52]

Critical response

Star Trek Beyond has received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 85%, based on 174 reviews, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Star Trek Beyond continues the franchise's post-reboot hot streak with an epic sci-fi adventure that honors the series' sci-fi roots without skimping on the blockbuster action."[64] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 70 out of 100, based on 46 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[6] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale.[65]

Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three out of four stars, saying "What a load of fun. Even with its big-screen pyrotechnics and its feature-length running time, Star Trek Beyond plays like an extended version of one of the better episodes from the original series, and I mean that in the best possible way."[66]

Alternatively, Dave Robinson of outlet Crash Landed described the film as "[failing] to push beyond its own roots" and "just another very safe sci-fi popcorn movie in an increasingly crowded market".[67] Another negative voice is that of Mark Pesce, writing for the British technology news and opinion website The Register, who entitled his review "Star Trek Beyond: An unwatchable steaming pile of tribble dung"; Pesce states that the movie "manages to be simultaneously both incomprehensible and unwatchable", and that it fails principally because it has "lost sight of the single, overarching lesson of half a century of Trek[:] the struggle is within us – for understanding – and not against some imagined other." [68]

Future

Pine and Quinto have signed contracts to return as Kirk and Spock for a fourth film.[71] In July 2016, Abrams confirmed plans for a fourth film, and stated that Chris Hemsworth would return as Kirk's father, George, whom he played in the prologue of the first film.[72][73] Later that month, Paramount confirmed the return of Hemsworth, as well as most of the Beyond cast, producers Abrams and Lindsey Weber, and writers J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay.[74] That same month, Abrams said that Yelchin's role will not be recast.[75]
