Hoo doggie! If you’re lookin’ for fast paced, non-stop action, then you’ve come to the right place! The trailer for Star Trek: Beyond, the third installment to the rebooted Star Trek franchise, has arrived and it’s not holding back any punches. I really dug the direction they took with the first two films. It seemed like the main goal when rebooting Gene Roddenberry’s vision was to amp up the action, but still try to maintain the strong character relationships that define both the movies and TV series. This is a teaser in the purest sense of the word in that they don’t really tell us much about the story but rather they just throw you into a blender of explosions, laser beams, and people running for their lives! It seems like director Justin Linn (“The Fast and the Furious” franchise) is well aware of the monumental action films that’ll be coming out next year, so he’s putting his best foot forward.

I’ve seen a few episodes of the first season and I gotta admit I really wasn’t impressed. The whole over-the-top concept seemed really silly to me. There were also a few story-lines in the first season that seemed rather forced and generic. But I feel like this go-round they’re really trying to develop and endear you to the characters. The special effects have also taken a step up in quality. Particularly the practical effects. The prosthetics and make up meld seamlessly with the computer generated effects as well. Without giving too much away there is one character who, let’s say, has a split personality and you would think that the use of digital effects would distract you from what’s going on, but they really do a good job of keeping you engaged in the story and the show in general.
