Star Trek Beyond [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

“There’s no relative direction in the vastness of space,” a Starfleet high mucky-muck tells Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) in “Star Trek Beyond.” “There’s only you.” She’s asking him whether he wants to give up his captain’s seat for a chance at a powerful desk job on the eve of his thirtieth birthday, a year younger than his father was when he died. Her language is meant to spur Kirk to look inward, and for a moment we might hope that he will, and that the film will look inward with him

“Star Trek Beyond” pits the crew of the Enterprise against another bellowing megalomaniac (Idris Elba) who wants to punish the United Federation of Planets for its perceived sins. It’s the best of the new “Trek” films, but it’s still an unsatisfying effort if you want “Star Trek” to be something more than a military-minded outer space action flick, with familiar, beloved characters shoehorned into a standard mix of martial arts slugfests, close-quarters firefights, and scenes of starships and cities being shredded and burned. Advance publicity hyped “Star Trek Beyond” as a return to the original series’ roots as a showcase for a bunch of eccentric personalities traveling the galaxy, ingeniously solving problems, and indulging in populist philosophizing about civilization and the frontier as they went along. But that’s not what we get here—not really.
