Each of the
Star Trek movies that have emerged since 2009 seem to have taken direct inspiration from different noteworthy motion picture. That first feature in this rebooted franchise was very much inspired by the success of then recent reboots like
Batman Begins and
Casino Royale while Star Trek Into Darkness was an obvious attempt to mimic how most second films in major blockbuster franchises (think
The Empire Strikes Back) are the "darker" story. Now
Star Trek Beyond arrives very much as a post-
Guardians Of The Galaxy Star Trek adventure. Colorful looking aliens have a greater presence than they did in the last two
Star Trek movies, tunes from the 80's surface at critical moments, there's a greater emphasis on the dynamic of the main group of characters and new character Jayllah (Sofia Boutella) and her trait of not quite understanding certain aspects of the English language bear a notable similarity to Drax The Destroyer.
