STAR TREK BEYOND MOVIE REVIEW - Double Toasted Highlight

[@DoReMi123acb]

Double Toasted crew, I want to tell you all how awesome you are. Your use of humor always helps remind me that no bad situation in life can't be overcome through comedy. When you can make a job and laugh at a bad situation (police brutality and racism), you can rise above it.

[@nathandanczak7822]

That situation was NEVER police brutality in the first place!

[@1080TJ]

RIP Anton Yelchin

[@krusnik94]

"How could have you possibly won that battle?" ..."WITH THE POWER OF ROCK!"

[@pinktitan3716]

With the power of SABOTAGE!!! WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thedefinitionisthis]

For me, the "Sabaotage" was just.... awesome LOL. Cuz while it was a bit out of nowhere in the first film, in this one, they kinda set it up (with PUBLIC ENEMY, no less)... so when the song appears again here, it made more sense, and was actually enjoyable. Within the context of what's been established in this version of the lore, of course Kirk was gonna be happy with that song choice. So fuck the haters. RIP MCA. I love "Sabotage" in this film hahaha.... The use of it in the film was definitely tongue-in-cheek, to me. As soon as you hear them explain "beats & shouting", the audience in my theatre knew it was coming.... and fuck it, it worked.

[@alinazhidil9817]

After people complained about this song in the trailer, I was worried that they will get rid of it. So, when they were setting it up for the fight, I was basically begging them to play it. That was what won me over in the reboot, so, it's like the music of my people. In fact, many trekkers do love this song and were pleased to hear it, as comical as the idea of destroying ships with music is.

[@ohdogwow2]

Yes, it had a point here. I also like it because they were making fun of it at the same time given the context how it was used/brought in the first movie.

[@koellum]

I had a huge grin on my face during that scene. It was pure cinematic joy!

[@brucesnow7125]

I was actually sitting with open mouth and big smile the whole scene, so yeah, totally agree.

[@esecallum]

Star Trek Beyond- I AM SO ENARGED.The Story had so many holes an unanswered questions. A lot of scenes made no sense. If all those tiny enemy ships came from the planet...THEN WHY WERE THEY BLOWING UP GOING BACK DOWN TO THE PLANET. 2. IF THEY HAD LITTLE TINY SHIPS WHY DIDNT THEY JUST GO HOME WHEN THEY MADE THEM AN HOW DID THEY GET TO THE STAR SPACE STATION BEFORE KIRK? WHAT ALL THOSE TINY LITTLE SHIPS HAD WARP DRIVE? THEN WHY DIDNT THEY JUST GO BACK HOME??? THE MAIN BAD GUY WAS A HUMAN. HIS TEETH WERE FANGS IN THE BEGINNING THEN HE HAD PEARLY WHITE TEETH AN TURNED BACK TO A BLACK MAN AT THE END. 3. IF THAT OTHER ALIEN LADY HAD CLOAKING GEAR WHY DIDNT THEY JUST SNEAK INTO THE BASE AN CLOAK THEM ALL OUT. 4. WHY WAS THE ALIEN BASE A SMALL LITTLE DINKY TOWN FOR HAVING A BAZILLION SHIPS AN A BAZILLION PEOPLE. 5. HOW DID A 100 YEAR OLD STAR SHIP CRASH LAND THEN THEY REPORDUCED INTO A BAZILLION PEOPLE RACE IN JUST 100 YEARS? WHERE WAS THEIR HUGE BASE? WHY DIDNT THEY JUST FLY BACK HOME SINCE THEY HAD THE TECHNOLOGY? THIS MOVIE WAS JUST PLAIN STUPID AN MADE NO SENSE. DONT YOU THINK OF I WAS STRANDED AN AS SOON AS I HAD THE CHANCE TO LEAVE I WOULD. I WOULDNT GET ANGRY AN BUILD A BUNCH OF SHIPS TO ATTACK MY OWN RACE....I WOULD JUST GO HOME. HOW DID THESE LITTLE BAZILLION SHIPS HAVE WARP DRIVE TO BEAT KIRK BACK TO THE STAR BALL SPACE STATION? STUPID STUPID MOVIE.... . STORY SUCKED AN MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.

[@NakaliTama]

the sabatoge scene was my favorite scene in the whole movie! they didnt make up some bullshit to take out these aliens, those aliens didnt use radio waves. they had a radio! it was the frequency that did it. thats why its so cool. it was HER home. to me this was one of the best movies ive seen in a WHILE. definitely the best sci-fi to come out in ages. it was so full of life and character. and i feel like the true villain wasnt krall, it was a state of mind. a state of mental desperation where all sense of reality is lost. can you imagine being stranded on an abandoned world, hoping for help that will never come?

[@thefirstbourne149]

@bruce wayne Storywise, it works, though. They already made it a little more mainstream. I think we’ll live. Also, I seriously think sometime people that complain about that crowd when it comes to the movies that actually do it right, and not badly, or like Fast and Furious where, okay...it’s fun but only the stupidly fun stuff. This one did balance out creating its world while having fun action scenes. They also had an arc for everybody this time around, unlike the other two where it was primarily Kirk.

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

Fuckin Korey man hilarious as fuck 23:27 the look on his face when he said that pun and then the clip..I swear it's a crime that these guys after all these years and all the grinding They've done only have a measely 50000 subscribers..WTF!!!???...but I can't act like I dont love being apart of something thats underground.. something that not everybody is doing

[@konzi]

fucking preach brother!

[@reyskywaka3202]

Star Trek beyond was amazing !!! It was so good I enjoyed a lot. I loved the tribute to the original series with the picture of the original cast and the tribute to Leonard Nimoy and Anton yelchin made me tear up.

[@pinktitan3716]

10:13 Martin and Goodwin shaking along with the camera looks so realistic through it’s P.O.V that I can’t stop laughing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@patrickwilliams5465]

I have never heard of or seen you guys before. But man, I gotta tell ya. Y'all were hilarious. As an old Star Trek Fan [and I saw Star Trek Beyond yesterday] you brothers did a great job of discussing Star Trek. I felt like "Finally, some brothers who know Star Trek and they can talk about it in a way that I can relate to". Thanks guys, I'm subscribing. Great job!

[@leslauner5062]

Scotty's not a fighter?....please check out "The Trouble with Tribbles" and see him kick several Klingons' asses....

[@mak0bac0]

After seeing the movie, I gotta say that I really liked the "Sabotage" scene. It was a lot of fun and didn't really detract from the movie the way I thought it was going to from this review.

[@kpag3030]

I liked the sabotage scene. Lol. That's a double throwback. Kirk when he stole his dad's car in the beginning of the first one, and a throwback to the original 6 movies. Kim Kattrel as that girl Vulcan has that whole speech about sabotage. Also, did you dig the foreshadowing scene of the sabotage scene with public enemy? Lol. Star Trek likes to show their futuristic characters reminiscing about old stuff, like old music, classic cars... Stuff like that. They do that a lot. With that said, I did roll my eyes during that scene. Lol. I think they could have used a better song, and the premise for using old music was a little cheap. That song does however tie the movies together. And I like the moment of Kirk remembering he was playing that when he stole his stepdad's car

[@Peer165]

Into Darkness is actually a pretty good movie.

[@samhenri7350]

You make it sound the "sabotage" song comes out of nowhere but there is a plot related reason as to why the song appears. It was a great scene!

[@cjtier]

When Korey says everyone didn't like star trek into darkness, he means him and Martin.

[@mattyKallday]

I don't understand how you have such few subs. PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THESE GUYS.

[@ftwnoobbuster]

Star Trek Into Darkness was awesome. I don't know what you guys are talking about. And Idris was great in this.

[@ДонетианПетков-э2л]

I love you, guys, I am always listening to your reviews, when I just want to chill and relax and you have helped me in a lot of tough moments, but.... I can not disagree more with your dislike both for the villain and for the scene with "Sabotage". And I am little bit of disappointed. (SPOILERS!!) I thought they rushed the villain's storyline, but what we were seeing was a lost in space captain, who saw his crew perish and the same fate, coming to him. Not only that, but he did not want to be in this situation to begin with - to fly a ship and explore the unknown parts of the Universe. Krall was a soldier and this wondering in the vast Cosmos without a clear purpose left him disappointed and lost. And then him and the crew crashed in this planet, where they could not reach the Federation and get help, slowly dying and succumbing to the feeling that they have been abandoned and left to die. This, I believe, led him to loose his better judgement and mind. (not unlike Khan from Star Trek 2). All through the movie there were hints, his constant "Don't give me that Federation bull****, united we stand, please!" and then his log pretty much said it all. Yeah, I do not know why he was hanging with Uhura (like no other villain ever) all the time, but his motivations was there and were sound. About the "Sabotage" scene, it's all about Kirk, who felt lost in space like Krall, and to have the music from his childhood, coming back to destroy his biggest and most dangerous villain yet in the middle of his inner struggle, was really justified and I did not find it at all cheesy or embarrassing. If anything I think it is one of the smoothest inclusion in a sci-fi or a fantasy movie of a song. It made sense to be there (both story and character wise) and did not overstay its welcome. Not even "Guardians of the Galaxy" was able to incorporate its songs that well. Also it is not the first time, when Star Trek (Next Generation) is making references to our human history. Last - how can you not love that at the end it was the radio that kicked the ass out of an advanced alien technology?

[@mundaneamazing]

This makes me wish they had their own version of Mystery Science Theatre... They are TOO funny with their commentary and voice-overs.

[@Bronwyn031]

I used to go watch movie reviews from many different media and YT sites. But not now, I ONLY watch DoubleToast and ComicBookGirl19 movie reviews!

[@moosedawgatlantaproductions]

3:45, Martin’s Grinch comment aged very nicely!

[@Ligergirl501]

I loved the sabotage scene, it was awesome

[@SoLongUntilTheSeanceOfficial]

Honestly surprised that with Goodwin being a gamer he didn't mention just how much this took from Mass Effect 2. Hell they even had Admiral Raan's voice actor play a federation officer. Enterprise being destroyed by superior technology from an unknown region of space / Normandy getting destroyed by the Collectors (from an unknown region of space), crew captured and harvested, Yorkton was a smaller Citadel, the villains "bees" were just a bigger version of the collector swarms....and with all of this they didn't really explain Elba's character.!!! Also was with the infiltrator when she was hailing Yorkton, her face was going all crazy like Elba's character did when he was harvesting crew members. What was that about? Answers!! Overall it was ok (shrugs) lol

[@mundaneamazing]

I LOVE Simon Pegg. The more Scottie, the merrier.

[@simplebidnessman]

I thought the Beasty Boys part was great! Captain Kirk listened to that song as a kid is the first one when he stole his mom's boyfriend's car. Captain Kirk even said, "Good choice." That's why I liked it so much.

[@sonicjrjr14]

Am I the only one who actually loved Into Darkness?

[@qqrk1372]

YES! It was SHITE!!!

[@EzeICE]

into darkness was cool. I liked it a lot

[@Peer165]

It has a 87% score on RT? So no, we are not alone.

[@oompie815]

No.

[@VideaVice25]

No, you're not the only one.

[@k.delpino1124]

I liked 'Beyond'. Came out during the franchise's 50th anniversary, it was the most action-packed Star Trek film and i remember that Leonard Nimoy & Anton Yelchin passed away before it's release. Hope they don't wait too long to do a follow-up.

[@MVPMVE]

Never saw much Star Trek before 2009, so everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, I loved Star Trek '09, really liked STID, and yet was completely meh on Beyond. It was either very cheesy or very generic. Honestly, I missed JJ. The story was overly basic, the villain wasn't fleshed out, the coloring was bleached out, Sulu and Uhura had absolutely nothing to do, that weapon was basically the Aether ripped from Thor 2, Scotty was hamming up that brogue so hard I was waiting for him to fashion a kilt and bagpipes out of the Franklin wreckage, and Kirk's earlier existential crisis was practically forgotten after a bit of danger. In another quiet three years he'll "lack purpose" again. He's an adrenaline junkie, not a captain. Awful, awful writing, and Pegg's being lauded for it??? I'll see Into Darkness over this anyday.

[@mania4270]

Marti Crazi your smoking crack

[@NAVEMAN3]

After seeing this movie, and me and dad stop laughing, we thought the music they should've used was Twisted Sister 'We're Not Going To Take It'. We thought it would be more cooler if they choose that song. Who else agrees just to get another laugh in the movie?

[@Deadpool784]

I love watching your guys reviews. They are always great!

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

When it comes to movie reviews Double Toasted is here for the movies

[@LordLOC]

The point of the music they use in that scene (without going into spoiler territory as much as I can) is that its old technology.

[@willimorris1083]

The point of the music is that it's the same song played when Kirk steals his uncle's car in the 2009 movie.

[@LordLOC]

Williesha Morris Well that also. But its discordant noise, it could have been literally anything in the end. They chose that song to go full circle with Kirk I guess.

[@willimorris1083]

+Lord LOC It's also the main song they use in all of the trailers so....

[@RoodeMenon]

I am not a hardcore fan of Star Trek but i appreciate it. Star Trek Beyond is great! A fun cinematic ride! I enjoyed it more than ST 2009 or Into Darkness. I enjoyed it more than Star Wars Force Awakens. Trust me it is a better experience than Force Awakens.

[@el_torrez75191]

i actually enjoyed the sabotage scene, after hearing your thoughts i imagined something more ridiculous. But i have to agreee on the villain. It wasn't a good one. It was interesting at first but the resolution was disappointing. But overall to me this movie is a Full Price. By the way, Justin Lin did a great job directing, i was scared when he was announced as the director.

[@AlexanderRobinsonMovieReviews]

Korey can never talk shit about Martin and his puns anymore. Here's some more material for you Henro Tee

[@azraelswrd]

I've noticed in the more recent vids that Korey's definitely dipping into that pun bucket way more than Martin.

[@MrEherndon5]

Bones is hilarious.

[@pinktitan3716]

21:01 “With the power of SABOTAGE!!!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nostalgiadad7137]

When picard sat in the Enterprise E. the 5 points popped out and he said. " About time." Scotty was very busy in the last 2 movies also.

[@MrAlcazar]

The sabotage song was kind of silly, but it didn't take me out of the movie, and it didn't go on too long. Other than that, this was fucking awesome. Probably my favorite so far.

[@tristanmilner9511]

Into Darkness was a good movie. So long as you didn't go into it clutching ST2:WoK. Which I was told by my Trek friends not to watch until I had see the tv episode that lead up to it.

[@ecrouse4081]

I absolutely LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nineteen1900Hundred]

Wow I completely disagree with every criticism you made. I really loved Beyond.

[@harlemraider3347]

Nice commentary & perfect chemistry between you guys. You got a sub.

[@TheCloveart]

I dunno (spoilers....) I just saw the film. And the bad guy's motivations to me was pretty simple. He was the first captain of one the enterprise voyages. They got marooned in space. And he felt abandoned. So he found a way to extend his life to wreak his revenge on the whole star fleet federation. His weapon was pretty complicated and didn't have a lot of exposition, but other than that his motivations seemed simple to me.

[@terrancejohnson9108]

10 seconds in and Goodwin already fucking up. Korey's face was gold.

[@McD5791]

IKR? Dat's sacrilege, dat is!! ;)

[@terrancejohnson9108]

+McD5791 I like star wars though.😂

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

still a good moviesucks about Leonard and Anton

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Korey your Spock impression had me die laughing 😂😂😂😂

[@SunGawdRa]

.... I liked the Sabotage part, doe. It got you hype.

[@futuremovieactor]

Anton was in this movie a lot and that’s probably because Chekhov was paired with Kirk, so he got almost as much screentime as Chris Pine did. Amazing coincidence that we got so much of him in Beyond after the misfortune of losing him. God rest Anton Yelchin.

[@bornedcovenant]

had to bring up race, just REVIEW the movie. That's what we are here for, not politics.

[@darthkermit4617]

I would give this movie a rental. I almost fell asleep in the theater.

[@ENZiRTV]

15:30 That is the scene that made me think that Martin didn't like the Furious 7 ending. But in the Furious 7 review he said they had a touching ending for Paul Walker.

[@Elnont]

Karl Urban STOLE the show as Bones, no question. To bad Deforest Kelley wasn’t around to see it.

[@Delta169]

Seeing it in D-Box this evening. Can't wait!

[@Stingos]

One of the problems I had with Star Trek '09 was the use of Sabotage. It made no sense why young Kirk would be rocking out to a band from 200+ years ago. I liked it better in this movie because they explained why they are using that song in the plot and even poke fun at the fact that it was 200+ years old.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

For me, I always took it as an in-joke to Shatner's inability to say "Sabotage" correctly hahaha....

[@sterlingarcher5698]

I never got this. He clicked on a classic Rock/music station... that's why it came on. It was a vintage car, so we know his step dad was into vintage/classic era collectables. We listen to classical now, why wouldn't people listen to our music in centuries time? I don't get why it's such an issue. The previous films and series have used classical music, even theatre numbers. Every one pissing and moaning because a different era and genre of music happened to come on the radio. In Beyond, I enjoyed the scene. It made sense why they chose it, it made sense why Kirk reacted to it and It allowed the audience to connect with him, and his journey so far.

[@danielvilllareal9726]

They freaking used the same solution as Mars attacks

[@SDC_BIGTIME]

10:13 we need a gif of that with something like "HIGH IMPACT BULLSHIT" blinking caption lmao

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

It irritates me that Anton Yelchin is once again overlooked in this movie after establishing him as a mathematical genius in the first reboot movie he barely gets anytime in into darkness and I'm not just saying this cuz he just died I'm saying this because he's very talented and I've always liked him since I first saw him in alpha dog in 2007 he's been good or great in everything he's in but they did give him some good screen time in this one which I love and even more so since he passed..Rest in Peace bro

[@Nineteen1900Hundred]

Sorry, did I miss something? Into Darkness was an amazing movie. Why is everyone hating on it? Just because it's got Khan in it?

[@TheWomblemaster]

erm the plot was shit. its a rehash of the search for spock.wrath of khan and khan was badly cast.....

[@Nineteen1900Hundred]

TheWomblemaster If you didn't like Cumberbatch's performance, then you have no hope for enjoying the film.

[@TheWomblemaster]

Actually am rather well educated, than you!

[@Aubry92]

Are you guys gonna do a review of Batman The Killing Joke.

[@rheymarcalbalos6928]

I actually liked the "Sabotage" scene.

[@aaronbenton8156]

what kills me, is whenever they refer to furious 7 they give justin lin credit for the movie when it was james wan who directed it

18:42 - J.J. Abrams' mystery box. As I read somewhere about Abrams, it's not a mystery box if there's nothing in it.

[@chrisgregg2092]

so true.

[@MrThwor]

Did Korey just say "They brought this back on TREK"??! Martin you are corrupting the poor guy.

[@danielshottopics8187]

I cried when Krall was sucked out into Space and died.

[@urbanhawk2886]

"Gonna kill that motherfucker one day" If that scene couldn't get any funnier, the quote is now stuck in my head everytime I see that Spock and Bones moment in the film 😂

[@igotjokezfoo]

that was my favorite scene in the movie!

[@georgea.567]

that was my favorite scene in the movie!

[@williamavitt8264]

I really can't believe all the people who think it's that big a deal

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

William Avitt Not a big deal to me but it is annoying I mean damn they already used the beastie boys in Star Trek and I may be wrong but I think they used em again in Into Darkness and now here we go again ..it Just doesn't fit ..I like that unlike the all the tv series they actually acknowledge that music from the past exists in the Trek Universe and I love Beastie Boys but damn how many times will they use them in these new Trek movies? I swear I don't wanna hear it in the new tv series damn it

[@nicklindley3903]

what a film to introduce my daughter to the franchise

[@RoodeMenon]

I found myself re watching this one on video more than the other 2.

[@DeniseFaraday]

I saw the movie last night in IMAX 3D. When I saw that scene with 'Sabotage' being used, I rolled my eyes. Really? Does J.J. Abrams have a contractual agreement with The Beastie Boys to use that song in every freaking Star Trek movie? I was hoping they used the Public Enemy song again like they did earlier in the film. Otherwise, the film was okay for me. Nice send-off for Nimoy and Anton at the end of the film....

[@DeniseFaraday]

I know...he was one of the producers of the film, so he has to have had input on the inclusion of the song....

[@hunthughes]

I don't remember it being in Into Darkness. I DO remember it being in the first few minutes of the first one. Then of course, there was the big scene with it in this one.

[@glennsak]

"Star Trek is all about the camaraderie." Amen!

[@atenakehnaton3965]

Yeah nothing like watching 98 percent of the crew get killed except for the same 8 god damn people every movie. Nope, no extreme elitism there. Star Trek is about the popular/cool kids and that's why nerds love that shit, because it makes them the "it" crowd. Fuck everyone else. lol Let's just be honest about it

[@geminijoule5522]

Whats with all ths random hate on Into Darkness all of a sudden now that Beyond is out? I adored that film and if I remember correctly it was praised by critics and from most people! Ill admit it was dumb to try and keep the Khan thing a secret in not only the ads but the movie itself, that was a dumb move. Otherwise it's a fantastic film!!!

[@cypher160manny2]

You know what's funny back on their old review site they said they liked it don't know why they forget they gave it a matinee

[@rmeddy]

Yeah I thought they wasted Elba in this,it could've been anyone and even though the concept of the character was cool , the whole old soldier can't let the war go stuff. They should've fleshed that out more.

[@sterlingarcher5698]

[Potential spoiler] Personally, I think Krall should've realised error of his ways when Kirk told him why no one came to rescue them. They weren't abandoned as he believed, they were lost. That was his entire beef with Federation and 'unity'; it forces you to rely on others. Then he should've sacrificed himself to save millions on York Town. It would've given better resolution for character, and made him more interesting.

[@alinazhidil9817]

The CH part in Yelchin pronounces the same way it does in chicken, it's a Russian surname, we never pronounce it the same way Americans do in, say, chrome.

[@iivnkss]

Shouldn't the intro be the outro?

[@hoochiemoochie89]

I honestly can say 3 years after Beyond that the film never resonated much with me and I definitely find Into Darkness better.

[@ArvelleWhitaker]

@Double Toasted nerd tidbit. If you watched startrek 3 where the enterprise was destroyed.....the yorktown was a constitution class ship...they renamed it the enterpise-A and gave her to kirk at the end of 4.

[@ThePonderer]

Having seen the movie, I don't really agree with you guys on the villain. He wasn't great, but he's more complex than I think you guys are giving him credit for.

[@mummra4ever]

It isn't just them other people have expressed that the villain could have been developed more and I felt the same way too. When it was revealed what his problem with the Federation was it didn't at all excuse what he was doing to those aliens that he stranded on that planet. It's like he didn't care which innocent people, who had nothing to do his motives, he had to hurt just so he could one day get his revenge on the Federation and that kind of ruins the sympathy they were going for towards the end and as they say just kind of makes him more of an asshole.

[@ThePonderer]

+mummra4ever Well yeah he's an asshole, he's the villain. Not every villain needs to be sympathetic or have their actions excused by their motivation. I don't disagree that he was poorly developed, I'm not calling him any better than serviceable, but that doesn't change the fact that what he wants goes beyond killing and conquering for the sake of killing and conquering, as Korey suggests.

[@mummra4ever]

The Ponderer I know but if we had just gotten to understand him more, and why he felt the way he did, then maybe we could see why he was such a monster to those who had nothing to do with his motives even if it didn't excuse what he did.

[@mummra4ever]

The Ponderer But I don't see how that applies to those aliens he was draining the life out of so he could live longer. They certainly won't be given the chance to improve through conflict and pain.

[@ThePonderer]

+mummra4ever could also just be that he doesn't want to die.

[@MightySavagE]

I'm getting tired of Korey forgetting, mixing up, unable to pronounce or straight up not knowing actors names. Really, thats like 5 minutes of Google search tops. Making fun of Cumberbatch's name stopped being funny years ago. If you dare to ask for subscriptions before the video even starts, put that much more effort into them, please.

[@scarface44243213]

Best of the trilogy, action packed, clever, heartfelt, presents a strong and relevant message, weak villain as usual with modern blockbusters but he was at least interesting

[@EliDEVITTSpeaks]

2 sabotage puns in 1 review...😳.

[@abhirao8582]

One of the problems I had with Star Trek: this happy little future where every gets along and no one seems to have any problems with each other. Creating genuine drama and conflict here is very difficult to do.

[@VengadorDorado91]

it's called "utopia". the drama comes from the people trying to destroy that. not to mention the inter-character drama or when the crew f*cks up a mission.

[@pedrovilelasantos]

It's so boring that the humans go look for trouble

[@SciFi2285]

As is the case with Star Wars, there are different ways to approach Star Trek. If you are a casual viewer, then it is just a fun little adventure with some memorable characters. If you are interested in the lore, it is way more complicated than that. There is tension between the Federation's utopian ideals and how it actually functions in practice. The Federation claims to be a model democracy. But it also employs a rather brutal secret police that is accountable to no one (Section 31). The Federation claims Starfleet is an "exploration and scientific agency" (even though it is obviously military). The Federation claims to cherish peace and respect all alien cultures (even while it relentlessly exports its Humanocentric order across the galaxy). So on and so forth.

[@nicksmi56]

Just came back from seeing this and eh, I just don't see it. This was the first time in a long time where I nodded off in the theater. Multiple times
