It is so weird because I am 100% sure I watched that movie from beginning to end, but I can't remember anything about it.

I recall something about them crash onto a planet, meeting some alien chick, fighting some space battles...but that's about it. And oh yeah Sulu turned out to be gay or something.
 
from what i can remember
  • Kirk thinks about getting older
  • family themes
  • flying through space shot
  • space swarm attack enterprise
  • cut the neck referring to the ship
  • baddy of the week Idris Elbalien
  • crash land
  • bones bedside manner needs work
  • found old ship cloaked
  • kirk find alien woman
  • motorcycle stunt into transport
  • work a plan to fly old ship
  • slide down saucer section of enterprise
  • villain is red shirt who wants revenge
  • play beastie boys song for harmonic frequency disruption to enemy swarm ships for cool effect
  • villain now looks human and punches kirk but gets sucked into vaccum cleaner in a glass box (?)
  • family reunion with picture of old crew

i think you're right op... the fact is... i genuinely thought into darkness was the latest star trek movie... and when i stumbled upon beyond... i though "i'm surprised this series went straight-to-dvd i thought it was more profitable than that"
 
I didn't see the whole thing, but I liked what I saw. Seemed like a pretty good movie.
 
I gave up on it early on because I just wasn't feeling it. I may give it another shot.

Into Darkness was garbage though. I remember some scenes but completely forget the context.

It has a full theatrical release... No straight to DVD nonsense.

It was closer in tone to classic TOS...

It was great, IMO. Into Darkness was trash!

A preschooler who has seen one episode of Star Trek could've written a better Star Trek movie than Into Darkness.

The movie is set in 2259. They said Khan was frozen 300 years ago. That means he was genetically engineered, led a revolt war, and sent into space...in 1959.

Khan uses a personal transporter to go from Earth to Q'onoS. Who the fuck needs a Starship?

The super killer Starship attacks the Enterprise AT WARP and blows big holes in the ship, which means the Enterprise should've disintegrated for losing its structural integrity at warp.

McCoy has all of Khan's people frozen behind him, but he tells Spock to go beat Khan with his fists to get his super blood.

AND THEN THEY RE-DO THE ENDING TO WRATH OF KHAN.

HOLY FUCK THAT MOVIE SUCKS.

The movie constantly throws action sequence one after another, the lens flare, the flashy CGI, but never giving the audience the chance figure out what the hell is going on.

Beyond plot was so bland you swear the it was taken from an unused TV Star Trek filler episodes.
 
Into Darkness was shit but it was memorable shit.

Beyond was an ok movie but totally forgettable. IMHO that's a worse sin.
 
I've seen Beyond at least three times and don't remember shit about it....I have a really good memory thats not normal

While everything here is true, you should add that after God knows how many edits and revisions, nobody that saw the script knew that cold fusion creates energy and isn't a fucking ice bomb because it contains the word "cold."
 
My most forgettable movie ever is Captain America: Civil War.

I saw this movie on a weekend but by Monday I couldn't remember anything about the plot other than that there was a big CGI fight in an airport.

The Total Recall remake was the most forgettable movie I ever saw. Seriously can't remember a single scene.

That goes for the Robocop remake as well.
I went to cinema for that shit, and I remember nothing except his organs being in some kind of tubes or something in a shot.
 
LOL it's so funny, I watched into darkness with like five other people and we all agreed it was fucking amazing. We almost watched it again right after. I haven't seen beyond but I heard it was also pretty awesome. I was going to check it out one day. Then I see this topic and everyone hates into darkness and beyond

LOL so who fucking knows!?
 
i think the film is decent but unfortunately the damage was done with into darkness and benadryl cumbersome going all ham and treating it like a stage play

the cast is good and the ending is more poignant given the death of Anton Yelchin
 
I liked the whole trilogy TBH. Beyond is the worst one imo. Still pretty fun overall. Wasn't there talks to making another one? I hope so

Everyone hates into darkness in the internet but just like you, me and my friends irl loved it. I dunno
 
There are some big budget movies where the marketing money just disappeared. Star Trek Beyond was such a movie. I didn't know the movie existed until a friend asked me if i want to go to the cinema and watch it. And i'm someone who goes quite often to the cinema, so i should have seen a poster or trailer.
 
I actually like the story of Beyond the most of the trilogy on paper but the execution didn't hit for me.

Into darkness is really dumb but I love watching it.

Robocop remake was....okay. I remember some scenes and thought they did some fairly interesting stuff with the whole 'man or machine' motif. I mean it was garbage in comparison to the original Robocop (or even the criminally underrated 2), but what isn't?

Total Recall had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
 
Transformers 5. Tried watching it about 5 times and always fall asleep. When I try to put it on where I left off and don't remember anything. It's so bad. At least the first 3 were pretty fun even though they're pretty trash.
 
Borefest.

I enjoyed Into Darkness and the 2009 reboot much more.

Rogue One was very forgettable to me. I don't remember much about the movie except the planet blows up.

I used to hate Rogue One. Found it dull but then I saw the atrocity that was Solo and Rogue One is a masterpiece by comparison. At least the last 45 minutes of Rogue One was actually pretty good.
 
Doesn't the Enterprise get shot to pieces in all three of the modern Star Trek films?

You would think they get bored of remaking that ship.
