re: #96 Targetpractice

What will be interesting is the response to The Rise of Skywalker, considering that Beyond is hailed by a lot of Trek fans as one of the best films in the franchise or at least the best of the three films made since Abrams took over.

Star Trek Beyond was quite good, as was the first film and Abrams made a smart choice by setting that trilogy in an alternate timeline, as it allowed the franchise to be freed from the restrictions of canon and continuity. But like many, I felt that Star Trek Into Darkness was simply an unofficial remake of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It’s not a bad film, mind you; it’s a decent enough flick but for me, at least, too derivative.
