Cinephile No. 597 "Star Trek Beyond"
Of all the 2016 summer blockbusters I have seen this year, "Star Trek Beyond" might be my favorite. While we still have a few weeks to go, it will be hard to compete with this film. It was filled with awe, drama, humor, and inspirational moments. This is a sequel, but the story still doesn't feel tired or worn. Rather, I found myself in the midst of the biggest fight scene hoping we could do this forever. Seriously, Hollywood could learn a thing or two from this franchise. Its reboot has been a breath of fresh air. They haven't gotten everything right and I am sure there are die hard fans out there who find themselves disappointed, but I found myself in the theater three times now smiling ear to ear. My only hope is that we get to do it again.
Be good to each other,
