Star Trek Beyond: 10 Reasons It's Better Than Into Darkness
7. Jaylah Is An Excellent Addition To The Franchise
Idris Elba does a solid job as Beyond's villain Krall, but the most noteworthy addition to the series is Sofia Boutella's alien scavenger Jaylah, who becomes fast friends with the Enterprise crew and helps them take Krall on.
Who could've easily been a token alien character is instead the most refreshing and enjoyable part of the film, even when faced with all the characters fans already know and love. On the other hand, Into Darkness certainly didn't come up with a single new character as fun to watch as Jaylah: she proves herself capable in action, has great banter with Scotty, and looks to be sticking around for future movies, so what's not to like?
