Star Trek Beyond: 10 Best Moments

9. Kalara Gets Squashed

Star Trek Beyond
Paramount

Early on, the Enterprise sets off on a rescue mission after intercepting a message from an alien named Kalara, who claims that a ship malfunction has left her crew stranded.

As the crew head to her location, however, they're attacked by a fleet of drones, led by the evil Krall, leading to the destruction of the Enterprise. It quickly becomes apparent that Kalara lured them to Krall, and though she claims it was in order to save her own people, she quickly shows her true colours.

However, she meets an hysterically over-the-top fate at the end of this action sequence, after Kirk and Chekov manage to activate the downed Enterprise's thrusters, causing it to topple over on itself and squash an unsuspecting Kalara.

Everyone loves it when an a**hole character gets their vicious comeuppance, and this was overkill in the best kind of way.
