Star Trek Beyond has a lot riding on it. Now that Disney is finally poised to unleash its Star Wars barrage on audiences – something which promises to last for five consecutive years, at the least – and now that Fox has something of its own shared universe with its Alien and Prometheus films, Paramount needs a heavy-hitter to strike back with. Then there’s the little fact that 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, generally, and that Beyond looks to be the final installment of the rebooted film series, specifically – unless, of course, this entry performs well enough to extend the trilogy into a bonafide, open-ended franchise, like the previous Trek movies were.
Given all this, it shouldn’t be surprising that Beyond’s first trailer is light on story and heavy on tone, atmosphere, and spectacle. If one looks closely enough, however, he’ll notice that there are, indeed, some tantalizing clues as to what new director Justin Lin and new writer Simon Pegg have up their sleeves in terms of the plot and character moments.
