Star Trek Beyond movie review

dir. by Justin Lin
The latest entry in the popular-but-divisive Star Trek reboot film series has been praised as a return to form after 2013's controversial Star Trek Into Darkness, and in many ways it's the closest these films have come to the tone and format of the original TV show. However, despite its many charming character moments and thoughtful tangents, Star Trek Beyond continues down the action-oriented route that this reboot series has become notorious for, and for all its moments-and there are plenty-its by-the-numbers plot and poorly-shot action never make this latest entry exciting enough to justify the wasted potential of its deeper elements.

Zootopia movie review

BEST NEW FEATURE
Due to the delay of Pixar's The Good Dinosaur, the latest Walt Disney Animation Studios picture was delayed to 2016. Much like Wreck-It Ralph and Big Hero 6, Zootopia set itself apart with a unique premise, and attracted much anticipation as all Disney animated films do. Thankfully, while it's arguably still not up to Pixar's impeccably high standard, Zootopia is quite possibly the best Walt Disney Animation Studios picture in recent memory.
