If I’m being honest, I totally forgot Star Trek Beyond was coming out up to the weeks surrounding its release. Between the dour Star Trek Into Darkness, a movie I enjoyed a good deal while watching and enjoyed markedly less so the more I thought about it or applied the least bit of scrutiny to it, and stellar…
