I normally loathe shaky cam movies but didn't even notice that till you mentioned it.
Also the fast forward montage at the end. I wonder how long that Enterprise took to build, and they did it in space this time.
Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

Anecdotal I know, but at all the Targets, Wal-Marts, and Best Buys I've been to this week, Star Trek Beyond has sold alot of copies and sold out in a couple of places. Now whether that is to the fact that Beyond is popular on Blu Ray, or that stores just didn't stock many in the first place, I cannot say.
I rewatched STB the other day for the first time since seeing it in the theater. I like the first 30 minutes or so of the movie. It's mostly people standing around talking. I just wanna hang out on the Enterprises with these characters.
It starts getting boring when they go into the obligatory action stuff, but it's not terrible like Into Darkness.
It's still the best movie of the 3.
I think I'd rather watch 2 hours of Bones and Jim getting drunk together.

Oh just on that why was Bones searching through Chekov's locker?
He was thirsty.
Every single Target location in my city is out of stock for their vendor-exclusive edition of the blu-ray. I'm beginning to think they never got the shipment, because it's improbable that all copies would be gone this fast.
I've been a Trek fan since the 70s. I'm not in it for the action. Beyond struck me as a mediocre episode of the week. The kind you sit through and say "Well, that was OK... but I hope next week's is an improvement."
He wanted vodka...but settled.
Crazy or not . . . . . I'd definitely watch that movie!!!

Someone banging the gong for Axanar, and seemingly don't understand that CBS owns a huge piece of Star Trek.
Well, Doctor Strange, a superhero no body in the mainstream public has heard of until recently, made $85 mil opening weekend. Star Trek Beyond, based on a franchise that has been around 50 years, was barely able to scrape a $60mil opening.
So it's clear to me the Star Trek brand isn't what it once was to the general public, even if we love it. If a no-name superhero can pull in more money easily than Star Trek, that's sad. Star Trek deserves better.

Dr. Strange had the Marvel branding. It's not a "superhero nobody" movie, it's the next in a 40-something strong superhero franchise.
Part of a larger universe that movie audiences are interested in.
I finally got a chance to see this film (on BluRay). I did not like it as much as I wanted to but it is the best of the three films set in the Kelvin realm. I did like how a lot of the character interactions added to film.
I understand that Doctor Strange has the Marvel brand backing, but he's still a no-name superhero. What I'm saying is that Star Trek's brand should be somewhat as popular, but I feel the Star Trek brand doesn't mean crap these days. I hope I'm wrong.
I personally don't know anyone who gives a damn about Star Trek. I know lots of people who love Marvel and Star Wars.

People may have gotten bored waiting three and four years between installments and moved onto other things. You have to strike while the iron is hot, something that seemed lost on Paramount and Bad Robot when Star Trek (2009) was a hit.
