I liked this one less than the first two reboot movies. Other than that time when they went in that planet where illusions felt réal (season 2 of the original tv show series ) I don't think I've ever seen the crew so scattered and I don't like it much.
I felt that the scénario was lacking, Krall/Edison's radical change was not justified imo. The whole movie felt like an attempt and unfinished.
The premise :"beyond" is a damn lié. They didn't bodly go and stayed up there, they always have to come back to the base, which I hate. Why don't they just actually go for five years straight and not come back. There was no reason for Kirk to just believe that woman and then come back to the base to take the décision to go and alter his crew and Starfleet initial plan without even consulting them, at least Spock. The crew didn't interact much and for once I missed that almost familial bond they share, although Nyota talked about it, for once you just couldn't feel it, that amazing fraternity. Not enough Kirk/Spock interactions for me also.
Let's talk about Spock, he was way too terrestrial and way less Vulcan : he managed to show more emotions in one film than Leornard Nimoy showed in the whole original tv shows series and initial movies. I liked the nod they did to Nimoy and Shatner and the rest though. I welcomed his emotion there.
There is also not a need for an enemy in each movie, they need to discover new civilisations, find ways to adapt and compare it with Earth, bring peace by dialogues not fights and explosions and get some mindblowing philosophical thruths out of it. C'mon J.J.!
All in all, the movie was okay, it was just lacking.
