Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

I was fortunate enough to see it twice today.

I swore an oath to Starfleet that I wouldn't share any spoilers, but I will happily report this much : it is by far the best of the three films. It's fast and furious, but is filled with moments of just pure Trek magic for fans of TOS and Enterprise. They got the balance just right. I haven't walked out of a Trek film this happy since First Contact way back in 1996! Well done Justin Lin and team. You'd be hard to please if you don't enjoy this one.
See that's the thing.

I don't mind an action Trek film at all. I'm judging it as an action film first. It's good writing I'm after, all I want is a coherent story that makes sense and then give me some "Star Trek stuff" after that. It's why I'm not a fan of Into Darkness.

With that said, I'm super glad you enjoyed the film and your comments perfectly match up with what I want out of Beyond. This sounds like it'll be a great 50th Anniversary gift to fans.

Instead of begging for spoilers, as I know you want to refrain from talking about this film much, what are your thoughts on the previous two films, just to get a general idea of where you stand?
 
It's not that I don't want to. I just don't like the idea of being sued for breach of contract by my favourite film studio!

I thought it was the best of the new films by some way. Handling an all out balls to the wall action film for modern day audiences that has enough for old timers like me as well must be a real challenge. Lin pulled it off.

Stay away from the spoilers, there's some nice mysteries you'll have fun unraveling if you go in spoiler free. Enjoy. It's a terrific film.
 
I'm avoiding spoilers. Not even tempted. I'm excited about going to a Trek movie where I don't even know what it's about.

A bit of speculation ahead...

I see that Sulu thread. I have a theory about what the spoiler is and in two weeks I'll see if it comes to pass. And if I'm right, I don't think that George Takei would be happy about it.

It's just as bad over on STC's fan group page on Facebook. Utterly close-minded, disgusting and disgraceful behavior from supposed "fans" of Star Trek.

STC? Didn't they do Blood and Fire? I would have thought the people who would be turned off by this wouldn't be in a STC fan group.
 
Its been a full day and I'm still disappointed with the comments about the movie opening. Im not talking about spoilers but just general reactions. I haven't heard anything negative about the movie yet, but I wanted a larger sampling.

If it's any consolation, Twitter comments have quadrupled in the last 24 hours.
 
I go to movies to escape the reality of my country. (I live in the US.) I am watching a civil war happening on the streets of my country. My biggest hope is that this film will get my mind off this. If it does this, I won't care if it is better than the last one or two movies. It will be the best film for me.

I'm waiting for people like Collider and Emergency Awesome to start talking about it on Youtube. Nothin' yet!

Perhaps "Continues: A Star Trek Fan Production" (plain typeface) can release two 15 minute fan films, with no additional sequels, fixing this turn of events for their wonderfully open-minded fans, assuming the fans raise no more than $50,000 for this endeavor.

We all signed a no-reviews-until-21st-July embargo, so general comments are all you're going to get at this point. On Facebook, click on the hashtag #GoBeyond for hundreds of reactions and pics.
