Spoilers Spoiler-ish Q&A - Star Trek Beyond

[AndyPandy]

My question is: is there a third?

Spoiler: Females

Besides Uhura, there's a character who makes a distress call and joins the crew on an away mission.

Andy, is Michael Giacchino's main theme that was prominently present in the first two films also the dominant main theme in Beyond?

Yes, but not to the same degree as the first two films. The soundtrack is much better this time round.

Any Shatner cameo or references to Kirk Prime?

Spoiler: Prime Universe

William Shatner does not act in this film.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Interesting way to state that.

Andy, I was curious about the title sequence of the film. I thought Into Darkness' title reveal (aliens drawing the Enterprise in the ground, fading to it jumping to warp, title appearing with Giacchino's triumphant music) was one of Trek's greatest ever scenes. Maybe I'm easy to please, but without giving away too much, would you say Beyond has a similarly good title card?

I have a suspicion that the print we saw wasn't finalised, so I can't comment.

Question for the OP:

Spoiler

Does the Enterprise have swept-back Nacelle struts/pylons when first seen onscreen, (in Beyond) or does the Enterprise receive the swept-back treatment, later on, as being a upgrade feature of the Ent-A version?

Thanks in advance!

And about Star Trek Beyond premiere in London? Any comments?

 

[drumvan]

thanks andypandy for your q&a. did you think there were any cringe inducing moments you thought should have been re-worked or left out? i'm thinking uhura fan dance, spock neck pinching a horse, nu-spock khan scream, "scotty khan, khan scotty" line, etc?

 

[Roald]

Andy, are there any real (cgi) creatures in the film, such as the ice alien in the 2009 film?

No.

Thanks for your answer, AndyPandy!

 

[MadMan1701A]

Follow up question:

Spoiler

You mentioned that the Enterprise-A at the end was constitution class, and looked a little darker colored. Were there any other differences that were obvious? Also, how good of a look do we get at it?

Thanks.

Follow up question:

There isn't much to see in this film, we'll have to wait for XIV.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Cool.

Spoiler: Prime Universe

William Shatner does not act in this film.

Spoiler: still hopeful

Which means he could still be in it!

Spoiler: Franklin vs Swarm

Someone on reddit said that the swarm is defeated because they communicate by radio waves, and the Franklin broadcasts Beastie Boys "Sabotage" at the swarm to distrupt their commucations. They also said when you see the giant explosion in the trailer, that it's the swarm being destroyed because Sabotage has the right amount of "bass" and "yelling" to cause the ships to crash into each other and destroy themselves. Is that true? If so that's monumentally stupid.

Why is that stupid? If it was

Spoiler

classical music

would it be less stupid? Or some magical technobabble solution? I don't know if this is true or not, but I don't think it's too out of line.

Spoiler: Swarm

The signal is designed to interfere with the signal used between swarm ships, and so they require something loud and disruptive. Makes sense in the film, but people will inevitably nitpick it on this forum.

And, according to the film, it IS classical music. The music of today will be to the late 22nd century what the music of Mozart is to us.
