Star Trek Beyond
Summary
I love howStar Trek Beyondmakes it clear that the USS Enterprise ’s five - class mission is severe . The five - year mission is the backbone of the Starship Enterprise ’s cosmos . Every instalment ofStar Trek : The Original Series , and nowStar Trek : Strange New Worlds , start with opening titles where the Captain of the Enterprise narrates,“Space , the final frontier … These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise … Its five - year commission : to research foreign new worlds …. “ButStar Trek’sfive - twelvemonth delegation are n’t as glamorous as they seem .
Star Trek : The Original Seriesmade no bones about the dangers of the Starship Enterprise ’s five - yr mission . InStar Trek ’s Prime timeline , Captain James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) and the endeavor encounter infinite god , enemy alien races , freak , and all manner of tragedy . But those were exterior threats to the Enterprise and its bunch . Otherwise , the Enterprise was a safe haven , and surely , otherStar Trekfans like myself fantasize about living aboard the spaceship and being part of its five - year missions . However,1,825 days in thick space , millions of lightyears from habitation , takes a cost , andStar Trek Beyondmakes that monetary value that is paid clear .
Star Trek Beyond coiffure up a continuation for Chris Pine ’s Captain Kirk and the Kelvin Timeline crew , but it ’s 8 years later and we ’ve yet to see Star Trek 4 .
Star Trek Beyond Reminds Audiences USS Enterprise’s Five-Year Mission Is Hard
Exploring deep space takes a toll
Star Trek Beyondbegins with a mission gone off on the major planet Teenax . secure aboard the Starship Enterprise once more , Captain James T. Kirk ( Chris Pine)resumes his five - year commission . Kirk delivers a Captain ’s logarithm that elaborates on the detail of the Enterprise ’s five - year mission , and it ’s insightful . In perhaps the most telling instance ofStar Trekdelving into the minutia of the day - to - day life of a five - year missionary station , Kirk explain what he and the Enterprise bunch really endure being all alone in kayoed space for years at a time :
Captain ’s Log , Stardate 2263.2 . Today is our 966th day in deep place , a little under three old age into our five - class foreign mission . The more time we pass out here , the hard it is to tell where one day ends and the next one set about . It can be a challenge to feel grounded when even the gravitational force is stilted . But , well , we do what we can to make it feel like home . The crew , as always , bear on to play admirably despite the severity of our extended stay here in extinct space . And the personal forfeiture they have made . We continue to seek for newfangled lifeforms to set up firm diplomatic ties . Our elongated time in chartless territory has stretched the ship ’s mechanically skillful capacity . But fortuitously our engineering department , head by Mr. Scott , is more than up to the job . The ship aside , prolonged cohabitation has definitely had effects on interpersonal dynamics . Some experience for the ripe , and some for the worse . As for me , things have bug out to finger a little … episodic . The far out we go , the more I obtain myself enquire what it is we ’re test to carry through . But if the creation is truly dateless , then are we not striving for something forever out of reach ?
Ironically , inStar Trek Into Darkness , Captain Kirk wanted the USS Enterprise to be assigned to a five - year missionary work in cryptical space . Kirk got his indirect request after Khan Noonien Singh ( Benedict Cumberbatch ) was defeated , and the Enterprise was rebuild and relaunched . Of course , a five - yr mission of making First Contact with foreign race and being the first to see undiscovered regions of the galaxy sounds thrilling and glamorous . And some of it is . But I bonk how Kirk learned inStar Trek Beyondthata five - year foreign mission is also faze , and sometimes tedious . Kirk ’s lessons nicely dovetail into his renewed faith and trust in his crew when they bestKrall ( Idris Elba ) .

Star Trek 4 Can Show What Decades Of Enterprise Missions Is Like
How many five-year missions did Chris Pine’s Enterprise have?
It ’s too uncollectible that it choose three J.J. Abrams - producedStar Trekmovies to depict the Starship Enterprise ’s five - year foreign mission , and it ’s even more disappointing there has n’t been a newStar Trektheatrical movie since 2016 . IfStar Trek 4finally find , Chris Pine ’s Captain Kirk and the rest of theStar Trekmovie cast will be a decade senior . Yet , this could also be a welfare . Presumably , Kirk and the Enterprise never stopped research spacein the interim years sinceStar Trek Beyond . This givesStar Trek 4a unique chance to show what living through more than one five - twelvemonth mission is like for the Enterprise bunch .
Star Trek Beyondended with the USS Enterprise - A launch on a Modern five - twelvemonth commission .
It ’s actually an exciting proposition to have Chris Pine , Zachary Quinto , and theirStar Trekcastreturn after a 10 . Star Trek(2009 ) introduced its Enterprise gang in the efflorescence of their youth , butthey would regress inStar Trek 4as centre - cured and highly experienced Starfleet officers- peradventure even legends . How a twain of five - class charge would have convert Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise ’s crew , and bond them even nigher as a found menage , is rich ground for Star Trek 4to explore . After all , it ’s unvoiced to believe the Starship Enterprise ’s five - year mission got any easier afterStar Trek Beyond .
