There is an inside joke with Chekov being asked to put on a red shirt by Kirk, and Chekov's less than enthusiastic reaction. In a famous interview, Walter Koenig stated that being a part of Star Trek all of these years was fantastic, as long as you didn't wear a red shirt, since most of those who wore the red shirts in the Original Series were almost always killed. This had led to the infamous theory of the "Red Shirt Curse", which was debunked somewhat, when a thorough investigation showed that only ten percent of red shirt crew members, seen in the Original Series, died (although they still comprised about seventy-three percent of all on-screen deaths). Sadly, Anton Yelchin, the actor who played Chekov, died in a car crash a month before the release of Star Trek Beyond (2016). See more »

There are no opening credits in the film except for the title card, making this the third consecutive Star Trek film that does not list its cast at the beginning. See more »
If you love the star trek franchise because it consistently delivers thought provoking interesting stories without the brutality and violence that Hollywood seems hooked on, you're going to be as disappointed as I was with this movie.
It looked big, the acting was really good, but JJ Abrams for some unknown reason decided it was necessary to remove the essence of what makes Star Trek different and replace it with some Michael Bay antics. At times it was like watching someone play a video game.
It was a really well made waste of time. No insight into the human condition, no thinking necessary, just eye candy and forgettable events.
And that's a shame, cos there was some great acting going on here. all the cast delivered well especially Cumberbatch and Quinto, some great looking effects, but why bother? When interviewed on the daily show Abrams actually said he wanted to make this movie for all the people who didn't like Star Trek. Isn't that just the stupidest thing you've ever heard?
