Beyond is awesome, easily a top 5 Trek movie. They also really nailed the guest character, every time Jaylah is on the screen she’s fantastic. I also never would’ve guessed the climax of the Kelvin trilogy would be an NX-class starship blasting Beastie Boys - clever and original and just a lot of fun. Oh and the design of that sphere space station / city everyone is living in is incredible. Like, peak sci-fi design work, across any movie.
Only miss was in putting Idris Elba in scary bad alien make up for 95% of the movie, all for the sake of a ‘twist’ no one really cared about. Would’ve been a lot better and more menacing if we could’ve actually seen his performance and he spoke regularly.
