Star Trek Beyond
Summary
My favourite line inStar Trek Beyondis the smartest and most insightful scrap of spoken dialog in theStar Trekmovies raise by J.J. Abrams . Star Trek Beyondwas directed by Justin Lin from a screenplay by Simon Pegg and Doug Jung . To their reference , Pegg and Jung went back to the rootage material and hewedStar Trek Beyondcloser to the spirit ofStar Trek : The Original Series . As a upshot , Star Trek Beyondfused J.J. Abrams ' trademark slam - bang action with a keen emphasis on character depth , particularly for Captain James T. Kirk ( Chris Pine ) .
Star Trek Beyondstarts off much more sober and philosophical than the two prior films J.J. Abrams direct , Star Trek(2009 ) andStar Trek Into Darkness . Three year into the USS Enterprise ’s five - year mission , Captain Kirk feels lost . The Starship Enterprise ’s voyages have become"episodic"to Kirk . unsound , Jim ’s mourns his father , Lt . George Kirk ( Chris Hemsworth ) , on his birthday . AsKirk narrate Dr. Leonard " Bones " McCoy(Karl Urban ) , James is now"one year older than [ his father ] ever was . “Kirk feel the answer to his woes is to leave the Enterprise and take over running the massive Starbase USS Yorktown .
Star Trek Beyond set up a sequel for Chris Pine ’s Captain Kirk and the Kelvin Timeline work party , but it ’s 8 years later and we ’ve yet to see Star Trek 4 .
Why I Love Star Trek Beyond’s Commodore Paris Dialogue To Captain Kirk
Captain Kirk’s innermost doubts are perfectly captured
When Captain Kirk practice for Starbase Yorktown ’s Vice Admiral view , he consults with the post commander , Commodore Paris ( Shohreh Aghdashloo ) . Paris size up and identify the discontent in the youngCaptain of the initiative , and she gives Kirk a telling piece of advice which , I sense , isthe best line of spoken dialogue in any of J.J. Abrams’Star Trekmovies :
It is n’t uncommon , you know , even for a captain , to require to result . There is no relative focus in the vastness of space . There is only yourself , your ship , your crew . It ’s well-fixed than you think to get lose .
partly , it ’s the grace and compassion with which Commodore Paris delivers the line to Captain Kirk that makes it so ghost to me . But more so , it ’s the insight behind Paris ' words . Star Trek Beyondis a metaphor for life . For Kirk , liveliness on the Enterprise was everyday , even dull , until disaster struck . Kirk necessitate to hope his crew , and himself , to defeat thevillainous Krall ( Idris Elba ) . Commodore Paris ' dialogue was prefigure the crisis Kirk was about to face , but it ’s also a wakeless contemplation on the secret loneliness and isolation of a starship captain . Anyone can relate to Kirk touch sensation drop off and aimless . Certainly , I can , on affair .

J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Movies Aren’t Known For Great Dialogue
No one accused J.J. Abrams' Star Trek of being overly thoughtful
J.J. Abrams’Star Trekmovies remain state - of - the - art cinematic thrill rides that inject novel vitality intoStar Trek , which keep on to be felt in the variousStar Trek on Paramount+ serial . Star Trekas produced by Abrams remains incredibly entertaining and rewatchable . However , no one will ever accuse Abrams’Star Trekmovies of being to a fault paying attention . The trade - off for J.J. Abrams ' kinetic military action and astronomical crises was shed the moral quandaries and philosophic publication that delineate classicStar Trektelevision display .
I know how Commodore Paris ' compassionate line to Captain Kirk date into Jim ’s soul .
One of the most underrated and brisk scene ofStar Trek Beyondis that it contains smatterings of insightful dialogue . Spock ( Zachary Quinto ) telling Kirk,“We do what we always do , Jim . We receive Bob Hope in the impossible"is a thoroughgoing distillate of how the Starship Enterprise ’s comradeship is the keystone to their power to achieve victory from certain defeat . I love how Commodore Paris ' compassionate line to Captain Kirk sees into Jim ’s mortal and secretly exhort him toward his ultimate realization inStar Trek Beyond : Commanding the Starship Enterprise is Kirk ’s first , good fate . Anything else is a waste of material .
