Occasionally, there are things that just don’t make sense, even with a mind charitably predisposed toward the elasticity of science fiction. With its talk of “gravitational slipstreams” and the like, “Beyond” is no exception. Without spoiling anything, it’s the most imaginative, rump-shaking use of diegetic sound I’ve heard in a long time, and it gives Chief Engineer Scotty the opportunity to shout, over the film’s near-constant din, “I’ve just got to reconfigure the VHF output into a multiphasic sweep!” Warning: One long-held “Trek” tradition is technical mumbo-jumbo.

That attitude of cocky self-assurance is in full - if sometimes sublimated - force here, even when things are looking most dire for the Enterprise crew, who quickly find themselves lured into a cataclysmic ambush by a new villain named Krall (Idris Elba, all but buried beneath a Halloween mask of hideous prosthetics), on a planet where their only hope is a solitary alien resistance fighter.

The only question anyone should care about is: Can Sulu do his job? And the answer, as the helmsman says to Kirk after being asked whether he knows how to fly a broken-down, jerry-rigged replacement ship when the Enterprise runs spectacularly, shockingly aground, is snarkily appropriate: “Are you kidding me?” (Abrams, who directed the first two new “Star Trek” films, has relinquished the captain’s chair to director Justin Lin of the “Fast and Furious” franchise, who maintains Abrams’ balance between respect for tradition and the restless need for innovative storytelling.)Īs for the controversy over the fact that Sulu (John Cho) is shown to have a male life partner in the new film - played by Doug Jung, who wrote the screenplay with actor Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty - that’s a nonissue. Abrams took over the helm with the 2009 film. That opening rimshot sets the tone for what follows: an action-packed, fun and funny thrill ride into a cinematic nebula that may be uncharted for the crew of the starship Enterprise, but that will be comfortably recognizable to both diehard Trekkers and those who only beamed on board once producer J.J. The cutaway, which shows Kirk staring into a closet hung with several identical replacement tops, is priceless.

So when the actor Chris Pine - who plays Kirk in the current series of rebooted movies - says, “I ripped my shirt, again,” after his peace offering to a delegation of tiny, gargoyle-like aliens goes anticly awry, the in-joke, which opens “Star Trek Beyond,” hits on all cylinders: aliens good intentions thwarted violent conflict and, perhaps most importantly, a sense of winking, self-aware humor. (The character had a bad habit of ruining gold uniform tunics in his frequent fights.) Kirk in a torn shirt will feel as familiar as family.
