[projekktor id=’24827′]

Star Trek Beyond is the latest film in the rebooted sci-fi franchise and the first without J.J. Abrams in the director’s chair. Justin Lin (Fast & Furious 6) took over behind the camera while series regular and self-proclaimed Trekkie Simon Pegg co-wrote the script. Returning to reprise their roles alongside Pegg are Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho, and the late Anton Yelchin while Sofia Boutella, and Idris Elba join the cast.

In “Beyond,” the Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.

“Justin has proven himself again and again as an incredibly strong storyteller,” Abrams explains, “but what struck me more than anything was his genuine love of Star Trek. I knew he’d be able to handle the action sequences, but what got me most excited was hearing him talk about these characters if they were people he knew. He’s really the perfect fit.”

“The original Star Trek series is incredibly special to me,” says Lin, “because watching those old episodes was kind of the only time I got to spend with my parents. The crew of the Enterprise felt like an extension of our family.”

Star Trek Beyond is rated PG.
