Terrific Trek to honour anniversary

Star Trek Beyond Film4, Thursday at 6.40pm

●●●●●

The sci-fi saga celebrated its 50th anniversary in style with a rollicking adventure reminiscent of the original TV show.

The cast have fully grown into their roles and director Justin Lin brings a fresh eye to the impressive set pieces.

A barely recognisable Idris Elba is menacing as villainous dictator Krall, Sofia Boutella (Jaylah) exudes poise and physicality and we get welcome further development of the Spock and Uhura romance.

Touching tributes are also paid to the late Leonard Nimoy and Anton Yelchin.
