The verdict is in and it looks like Paramount Pictures' Star Trek Beyond is a winner all the way!

The initial reactions from last night's press screening have been very positive with many critics describing the film as the most enjoyable and entertaining of the new trilogy and praising its surprising amount of heart. Many of the hardcore Trekkies are comparing the film very favorably to The Original Series and are essentially saying it's the first of the three films to properly emulate the feel of that classic series. As for the cast, Chris Pine and Sofia Boutella seem to be the standouts, with one critic saying Pine's performance as Captain Kirk is better than its ever been before and another saying that Boutella's Jaylah steals every scene she's in. Simon Pegg also gets a shoutout for delivering an excellent script. Check out the first reactions below:

 

After stopping off at Starbase Earhart, a remote outpost on the fringes of Federation space, the USS Enterprise, halfway into their five-year mission, is destroyed by a powerful, unstoppable wave of unknown aliens. With the crew stranded on a unknown planet and with no apparent means of rescue, they find themselves in conflict with a new ruthless enemy who has a well-earned hatred of the Federation and what it stands for.


Star Trek Beyond will feature:
Director: Justin Lin
Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk
Zachary Quinto as Commander Spock
Zoe Saldana as LT Nyota Uhura
Karl Urban as LCDR Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy

This franchise is in direct opposition to Star Wars, which is Disney...and Disney is Marvel Studios. Therefore, anyone who likes this film is spitting in the face of Marvel Studios. And opposing Marvel Studios is essentially supporting WB/DC, which means one is approving of Zack Snyder.

So screw you Zack Snyder! Star Trek sucks!!!
