25 Predictions For Summer 2016's Rotten Tomatoes Scores
5. Star Trek Beyond (69%)
Predicted Critical Consensus: "Though more uneven than the prior two Star Trek movies, Beyond boldly moves the franchise into brave new worlds, combining more humour and colourful characters with the riveting action audiences expect." Change can be good or it can be bad: naturally many are a little nervous that replacing director J.J. Abrams with Justin Lin may essentially result in Fast and Furious...in Space!, but with Simon Pegg co-writing the script, he should help it retain the wit and comedy that made the prior movies such a hit. Still, don't expect it to rack up quite the same critical fervour: it'll probably catch some flak along the way, because honestly, how many trilogies manage a consistent string of widely-acclaimed hits?
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
