Halfway through their five year exploratory voyage through space, the USS Enterprise docks on Yorktown, a legendary Starfleet outpost that houses a sprawling colony, for minor repairments. Desillusioned with his accomplishments and believing he has failed to live up to his father, Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) applies for a position as Vice-Admiral at Starfleet headquarters on Earth, while Spock (Zachary Quinto) learns of the death of his time-displaced doppelganger Spock Prime (Leonard Nimoy) and decides to resign from Starfleet to lead New Vulcan in his place. Nyota Uhura (Zoe Saldana) ends her relationship with Spock, leaving him free to return to his people.
Departing from Yorktown, the Enterprise is attacked by the Swarm, a horde of advanced warships, and crash-lands in the desolate planet Altamid, where the crew is separated, with Uhura and Hikaru Sulu (John Cho) being captured by Krall (Idris Elba), a bloodthirsty warlord who commands the Swarm and has been shooting down starships and using its crews as slave laborers to mine for a rare mineral that powers his armada.
Uhura and Sulu soon discover that Krall and his men were once human soldiers drafted by the Federation to join the newly-created Starfleet and fight in the Xindi War. Their ship, the USS Franklin, was shot down, and the crew was left behind by the Federation, leading Krall to swear revenge. They soon learned that the planets' ancient inhabitants created advanced life-extending technology which Krall then seized, rendering himself and his followers immortal at the expense of their humanity, and spending centuries building an army through which he can overwhelm the Federation.
Separated from the others, Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (Simon Pegg) meets Jaylah (Sofia Boutella), a resorceful warrior who has been stranded on Altamid since her parents' ship was shot down and her parents killed by Krall. She helps Scotty locate Kirk and Pavel Chekov (Anton Yelchin), and together they infiltrate the derelict USS Franklin and reactivate its old teleportation system, which they use to rescue Spock and Leonard "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban), that were being pursued by Krall's forces.
Kirk and Jaylah use a dirtbike previously belonging to Krall and holographic devices that have come into Jaylah's possession to infiltrate Krall's camp and rescue Uhura, Sulu and the other prisoners, while Krall uses the minerals he has already acquired to activate the Swarm and attack Yorktown in order to cripple the Starfleet and leave the Federation vulnerable to an all-out offensive.
Kirk and his crew learn that the Swarm's navigation system can be compromised by sound and use the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage", which also belonged to Krall, to disrupt the Swarm, leaving them vulnerable. After succesfully destroying the brunt of the Swarm, they catch up to Krall and his forces as they're besieging Yorktown and defeat them, saving its population.
In the aftermath of the battle, Kirk realizes what he is truly fighting for and declines the Vice-Admiral position to complete the mission alongside his crew, while Spock chooses to follow Spock Prime's advice to do what's right rather than what's merely logical and decides to stay in Starfleet, reconnecting with Uhura. Jaylah parts ways with the group to join Starfleet Academy just as Kirk and his crew depart in a cutting-edge new starship that was being constructed in Yorktown and is christened the Enterprise-A.

Excuse me good sir, but have you ever consider watching Abbey Brooks cuckold video from Dogfart? It's quite good, then again I'm a black guy, and the majority of the posters on this board are white, so they may not enjoy it, but you should give it a try if you have white guilt.
Mason Green
Does anyone care about Spock/Uhura at all?
Elijah Rivera
so spock is not even really in the movie for no real reason and nothing really important happens or changes by the end
Hudson Baker
It's a character-driven movie.
Adrian Morgan
It's a characters driving motorcycles movie.
Leo Robinson
I thought this whole Beastie Boys Sabotage thing was a joke but im beginning to think its really real
Luke Brooks
Kirk orders Chekov to start the ship, put it in park, and check the mail. Unknown to Chekov this version of the Enterprise has been recalled for safety break malfunctions. A malfunction occurs and as Chekov reaches into the mailbox the Enterprise rolls towards him, and ultimately crushes him against the concrete box. Kirk runs to check on him and with his last breath, Chekov hands Kirk a flyer for a discount at Khan's Pizza. Kirk screams KHAAANNNNNN'S as Chekov dies in his arms.
Oliver Peterson
No, are they still a thing? I can't even remember.
Ian Jenkins
>You "apply" to be Vice Admiral >Starfleet, an organization that flies a tiny number of highly advanced soldiers, started with draftees
Can someone please provide the Pegg quotes where he criticizes other movies for being retarded action schlock dumbing down the general public?
Dylan Powell
8/10 but way too soon
checked
Michael Cox
I was wondering how they would deal with this. Thanks dubpost
Jonathan Perez
>The Enterprise is defeated within seconds by a much more advanced enemy >Kirk's arc revolves around daddy issues >The bad guy turns out to be someone who was exploited by Starfleet and is now working to destroy them >Completely out of place ground vehicle chase >Completely out of place contemporary music
Man they're really innovating with this movie!
Benjamin Walker
>Kirk and his crew learn that the Swarm's navigation system can be compromised by sound and use the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage
Angel Miller
So they managed to film the entire movie without anyone realizing that they were using the script to Guardians of the Galaxy 2 by mistake?
Gabriel Sanchez
>it's an angry ship captain swears revenge on the Federation episode >for the 3rd fucking time
Was the tv show this repetitive?
Elijah Gonzalez
Yes.
Angel Moore
The "sabotage" is a joke related to the fact that william shatner refuses to pronounce sabotage properly.
Logan Scott
>guy is mad the Federation left him to rot on a shitty planet
So they're doing Khan AGAIN? Except this time instead of being angry about being stuck on a planet turned into a desolate wasteland except for mind controlling slugs he's angry about being stuck on a planet with super advanced technology that let him become immortal and build a fleet of superships?
Can we have a single movie where the plot isn't about revenge? How about Kirk has to deal with a wacky space criminal?
Lucas Jackson
or maybe one that's about the wonder of exploring weird shit in space
TMP gets shit and some of it is deserved, but it definitely captured that sense of wonder and mystery of space
Jonathan Long
Yep.
Alexander Ross
>Uhura and Sulu soon discover that Krall and his men were once human soldiers drafted by the Federation to join the newly-created Starfleet and fight in the Xindi War ...Enterprise is still canon in this timeline... was there a second Xindi thing or did the writers just say fuck it, let's ignore the entire conflict had The Enterprise (and maybe columbia) with all human crews sans the Vulcan and Denobulan? In this case, fuck it, not like these writers give a fuck about the lore and supposed cannon.
Good to know that this was the movie as advertised by the first trailer. Good to know that Simon Pegg has no fucking clue as to what's going on in the movies he's cast in.
Daniel Perez
Man, this makes me sad. I really liked '09 and Into Darkness was pretty good with the exception of a few plot holes. This just seems like they dialed the action schlock up to 11 and wrote in a painfully mediocre villain. Fuck, at least the other ones had some great action with the Enterprise, in this it just jobs 15 minutes in. It's been months since I've seen anything in theaters but I really don't think this is worth it.
Austin Cook
So I was off by a couple things. It's a million tiny super ships instead of one big one this time, and it'll be the USS Franklin with yet another rising out of the clouds shot.
Leo Allen
>sabotage with Sabotage
fucking poetic pottery
Tyler Carter
>George Lucas Writes Star Trek Movie
Camden Reyes
>Kirk has daddy issues and guns for a wildly unrealistic promotion instead of being a confident leader. Again. >Spock reckons he'll be made leader of the Vulcans because old Spock was. He and Uhura have relationship issues. Again. >The Enterprise gets blown up because fuck the Enterprise who cares about the Enterprise in Star Trek amirite oh and it's also the 3rd movie >The bad guys are bad because the Federation and Starfleet exploited and abandoned them. Again. >Wildly out of place vehicle and music. Again. Oh and it's the same song because Sabotage is the Beethoven of the future. >At the end everything is the same except the Enterprise is now the A because reference.
wow
David Flores
i dont like sabotage.
it's course and.. it's rough...
and you hear it everywhere
Ryan Roberts
>Simon Pegg has no fucking clue as to what's going on in the movies he's cast in
he wrote (most of) it.
Juan Adams
Intergalactic was always my go to for Beastie Boys but fuck me the video for Sabotage was GOAT.
From my point of view it is Faith of the Heart that is evil.
Juan Hill
If your plan is to make a movie series and your characters are the exact same in every movie, that excuse becomes completely retarded. If the characters go through no real change, watching the sequel is fucking pointless.
Jonathan Sanchez
are the Xindi canon in the trek universe
Colton Scott
Haven't read anything in this thread, just wanted to thank OP for putting spoiler tags. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Jayden Lee
Kirk dies but McCoy discovers a cure for death and so he brings Kirk back to life.
Hunter Barnes
I'm ready for the 1 line of throw away dialogue that Pegg came up with to explain away magic blood and super transporters.
Chase Martinez
How fucking bummed do you think Pegg is that he was so thirsty for his golden jew goose that he got tied to Star Trek and not Star Wars.
Sebastian Clark
geez
Owen Baker
So is Kirk vs. Picard one of those pop culture TOS maymays?
I'm only halfway through the first season but Kirk vs. Picard is like comparing Jack Aubrey to Captain Crunch.
John Baker
>compromised by the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" This can't be fucking real! REEEEEE
Jayden White
Who paid scotty to grab Dr.Pavel?
Jacob Lee
THEY KEEP FUCKING MAKING WRATH OF KAHN
Hunter Martin
Sounds like something I should watch while getting into my second bottle of wine and sitting at my computer If I cant find anything better.
Kayden Perry
YOU TOO?
Levi Long
This is what we get when autistic fan boys leave their basement and tell others that khan was the best trek movie.
We deserve this nightmare.
Julian Gonzalez
> cutting-edge new starship that was being constructed in Yorktown and is christened the Enterprise-A Lol its not like it will survive the next movie anyways.
Connor Rogers
We all know he was just shilling for this movie because it's the closest thing to Star Wars he's gonna get
