The Star Trek series was in its death throes when director J.J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) presented a reboot in 2009 that was bursting with tension and excitement. Four years later, the sequel Star Trek: Into Darkness was also a success.

The question now is whether the sci-fi series is strong enough to survive without J.J. Abrams. He has handed the wheel to Justin Lin, who was responsible for turning the Fast & Furious series into a cash cow. A disappointment would be embarrassing because 2016 is a big anniversary. Exactly fifty years ago, the world was introduced to Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and the rest of the crew of the Starship Enterprise. In Star Trek Beyond, they come up against a mysterious enemy that threatens intergalactic peace. Intriguing enough for you to get beamed up to the cinema?

Release: 17/8
US, 2016, dir.: Justin Lin, act.: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, 120 m
