The soundtrack is a dynamic and expansive one, deftly balancing quiet and loud scenes with Michael Giacchino's brassy score thrumming in the background.ĭialogue is intelligible, which is especially important for Elba’s Krall, who uses an accent that's modulated even further.

Boutella's Jaylah – her white skin and black facial patterns – stands out beautifully.
STAR TREK BEYOND BLUE RAY TV
With so many aliens part of the cast, a good TV will be able to dig out the various nooks and crannys of the intricately detailed makeup. It's a good disc for detail and sharpness too. Visually it is a clean, sleek looking film that carries over the 'Apple' aesthetic established by Abrams (thankfully, the lens flare is left behind). (opens in new tab) Behind the makeup it's hard for him to steal scenes in the same way Benedict Cumberbatch's Khan did in Into Darkness. Ultimately he feels like a repeat of Eric Bana's Nero from the 2009 reboot. Justin Lin brings a great energy and style that’s different from Abrams', exhibiting some nice visual flourishes, such as the ripples the Enterprise creates as it warps through space or the well-shot, athletic fight scenes.Įlba’s villain is intially promising, but his idea that the unity and strength of the Federation masks its weaknesses is unconvincing, despite Elba's commitment to the role. Krall’s destruction of the Enterprise is the highlight as his swarm of ships rip it to shreds.

The best pairing turns out to be Zachary Quinto's Spock and Karl Urban's McCoy, who bicker throughout like a married couple. The script pairs up crew members who haven’t had much interaction in this 'Kelvin' timeline.
Even as the newcomer, Boutella's Jaylah fits in well within the existing crew. The camaraderie that’s been built over this trilogy means there aren’t any weak links. The ensemble is still the main reason to tune into these films. Beyond has plenty of style, and yet its story feels small scale. It's a thoroughly entertaining film, but for its 50th anniversary you’d hope for something bigger, more epic. Abrams played it fast and loose with Trek lore, Beyond dutifully pays respect.
