The trailer for "Star Trek Beyond," set to release on July 22, 2016, has sparked mixed reactions among fans, particularly regarding its perceived shift towards a generic action film style. While some believe the franchise needed modernization with more fun and color, others feel it lacks the sense of wonder and novelty that defines Star Trek. Concerns were raised about the film's reliance on familiar plot elements from previous installments, such as the destruction of the Enterprise. The choice of music in the trailer was criticized for failing to convey urgency, and there are doubts about the direction taken by the new director. Notably, even co-writer Simon Pegg expressed disappointment with how the trailer represents the film, highlighting concerns about marketing misalignment with the film's true essence.
