On a completely different note

I'm watching CBS movie 'Star Trek Beyond' trying to make up my mind about it. Special effects are way beyond other Star Treks.
Anyone else watching? Helps divert attention.

The reboot just didn't do anything for me. They're not bad movies, per se, just unnecessary to this Star Trek fan.

Just as uber-stans diss Star Wars or Harry Potter or whatever

The on-screen chemistry of the characters really vibes the original series, to me.

They’re just fun movies

Enjoy

This one has the original characters (not actors) and is relying too much on special effects.
It could be my age.

I'll watch it on demand so I can pause it.
