This is also a very ensemble movie in which everyone gets a lot of screen time and has their own moments to shine, even Scotty’s weird little pal Keenser.

It’s up to Kirk and the gang to save the crew and stop Krall from using an ancient superweapon to wipe out all life on a massive space station. Most of them are taken captive by an alien named Krall, who is beyond (ok I’ll cut it out) ruthless in his efforts to strike against the Federation. Shit goes south, the Enterprise is attacked and destroyed (that much you can already guess from the trailer), and the crew is stranded on the unknown world. My sympathies go out to his family and others who loved him.īasic synopsis: The crew is a couple years into the exploration mission they began at the end of Star Trek Into Darkness when an alien in distress brings them to a planet beyond known space. ![]() Throughout the movie I couldn’t help but feel a little sad every time he came on screen or delivered his dialogue. The man was one year younger than I am…it’s just a big shock to lose someone who was on an upward swing in his career like that. ![]() A poster for STB from my other favorite countryīefore we begin I just want to mention the real-life tragedy that tempers the exuberance of this film the death of actor Anton Yelchin in an accident. ![]()
