Justin Lin directs this second sequel to the 2009 Academy Award-winning spin-off of the classic 1960s sci-fi adventure series. After overcoming doubts about his continued role in Starfleet, Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) leads the crew of the USS Enterprise as they continue to explore the darkest reaches of space as part of their five-year mission. Upon arriving for a routine stop at a remote Federation planet, the Enterprise is subjected to a devastating surprise attack by swarms of mysterious alien vessels.
Overrun and with all systems failing, the crew have no option but to abandon ship, leaving them stranded on the surface with limited supplies and no way of sending for help. After coming across alien warrior Jaylah (Sofia Boutella), Kirk soon discovers that the merciless Krall (Idris Elba) is behind the attack and is readying an army to destroy Starfleet once and for all. Now facing a desperate battle to survive, Kirk must reunite his crew and find a way of defeating their frenzied new enemies before it's too late.

The really really sad thing about this film is that it claims to come with a digital copy redeemable on iTunes. The voucher in the packaging has a 2018 expiry date, but Paramount are no longer honouring it. Decent film though, a bit too Fast and Furious meets Star Trek for my liking, but it's entertaining.

iTunes code worked fine for me and added the movie to my account.

First two were very good but the diversity crap spoilt it (although nowhere near as bad as almost every other movie nowadays) but this one was very poor. Poor story, poor aliens, ridiculous action

One of the worst Treks in my opinion you could tell Pegg wrote it seeing how much time Scotty has on screen :smirk:

To echo others, thought this was very poor. Not a patch on the first two films.

Agreed. First two were great - this was utter garbage.
