So first of all, lets rate the movie on a scale of 0-5. I'll post my review later on.

9 out of 10.
My only nit is that there are a few spots where the scenes were too dark to see what was going on, but that might have been because of the 3D glasses, so I reserve that last point for when I see it again in 2D.
The ending was fantastic, wonderful call backs to all the Trek that has come before.
And the new BIG E, is back to looking like She should.
(PLEASE Cryptic, get THAT Enterprise in the game ASAP!!)
Also loved the USS Franklin.
Can't wait to see it again!!

Joke, alas, is on you my friend. This is Pegg-Trek, not JJ Trek. You're missing out.

And this is coming from mainly a TNG fan, someone that grew up with TNG and considered the first two J.J. movies ok as far as a Star Trek flick goes, but wasn't really impressed with them. I really liked beyond in comparison.
Yup, considering going to the cinema once again myself as well.
1- Kirk acted like Kirk in this movie. Very captain-y, very adult. You see an actual shift in his demeanor and in how the crew reacts to him.
2- The way they split the crew up and put them on different environments on the same planet was really effective. You got development in little vingettes for quite a bit of the crew, and it helped break the old trope of the "ice planet" the "desert planet" type thing.
3- The way they used the wreckage of the Enterprise on the surface of the planet was very clever and for the first time made me feel like there was a purpose to destroying the main ship.
4- The raising of the Franklin adds a very powerful phoenix like effect to the whole arc. It's Kirk realizing the strength is in the crew, and it's the crew triumphing over the planet by making it off the world. It's a connection to the past that galvanizes the crew's purpose and overall the point of Starfleet. And it just looks wicked cool.
5- Krall is awesome.
6- The easter eggs! The photo from the original movies crew! The Franklin as an NX class vessel, the references to the Xindi and the Romulan War, the footage of the Franklin's crew in ENT era uniforms.
7- The Yorktown station is an impressive addition to Trek canon. It's look and its purpose are amazing.
8- Admiral Paris! What what!
9- The unveiling of the Ent-A was nifty. If you figure out the timing of this, it's 3 years into the 5 year mission. Which is when the original series ended. So they're kind of riffing on the original timeline but still doing it different.
10- One of my favorite lines is Kirk telling his log that lately his life had become "episodic"
I'm asking you nicely - please either knock it off or find something else to be a fan of. We've got enough toxic Trekkies running around in Chat.

A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

Nah, the joke is on you big time. Its still JJ Trek, JJ is producer so he is still part of it. I'm not missing out.

Temper tantrum Jonsills. I'm heading out of this thread.

If you'd seen what the rest of us reviewing the film had seen, you'd understand what is meant by Pegg-Trek a lot better.
Why, the first set the stage for the whole series. I hated the 1st, so why bother. I can wait it out for a better series that is new from the ground up.

Well in the context of this particular thread, to offer a "review" you kind of need to see the film you reviewed.
But in the general context of being a Star Trek fan, this movie's a very good Star Trek movie. So if you liked the Enterprise when Kirk was captain, and want to see something new with that kind of hook, this is an amazing example of that.
Those are the best answers to the question of why I can come up with.
For my last reply here. Since your right its for the ones have saw it. I highly doubt KU Kirk changed and the rest of it. Still be the same people from the 2009. Believe me, I can't wait a long long time to finally see a good Trek movie. Enjoy the series, I will be waiting for something new and better.

I predicted people blindly voting 0/5 without actually seeing the movie.
And even though it is disappointing that this happens....... that is what the 0 is for.
I highly doubted anybody would rate this movie a 0/5 after seeing it, so just ignore the 0/5. Ignore everybody voting on it without actually seeing the movie, and lets just have a nice reviewing session with those of us who did go see Beyond.

There's some (low quality) shots already posted on the interwebs:

1) A commodore can't offer you a Vice Admiral (three star) position.
2) I dislike space stations that starships have to go inside to dock. Yes I also dislike ESD. If a massive Romulan or Klingon fleet were to decloak and attack all those ships inside are toast.
3) Really hoped we'd get away from the "A, B,C,D" naming thing. Just never been a fan of it. What happens when 26 ships named Enterprise come and go "Enterprise - AA"
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
However, there is one thing that spoils it for me;
The Franklin could still be the first warp four ship...stay in commission after Enterprise is commissioned...and still be active after the founding of the Federation.

And Insurrection was a good movie, but its an aquired taste.
That being said calling it PeggTrek is 100% accurate. Its like the JJverse got a transfusion of what made the Prime Universe great, without crapping on JJ, a fusion of the best parts of both.
Hands down the best Star Trek I've ever seen. Seriously I had a hard time believing it when I realized it.
It hands down beats the two JJverse movies, no contest.
Nemisis, loved the Scorpion Fighter, did not love the movie, didn't hate it either.
Insurrection I loved, I actually enjoyed the tranquility and I want a holodeck ship, but Beyond was more fun.
First Contact, I liked parts like the use of the Defiant and Barkly, but hated the Borg Queen, which removed any hope for any sort of moral complexity from the Borg, just turned them into a mechanized insect colony.
Generations was mild fun.
Undiscovered Country was a mixed bag, but was mostly cool.
Final Frontier I really liked, but most people don't, I can't really explain why I liked it. But its not as good as Beyond.
The one with the whales is light fun.
The search for Spock was really good, but I like Beyond better.
Wrath of Khan, the legendary Wrath of Kahn, the best of the old Star Trek movies and the most beloved by most people. Great movie. But Beyond is better to my shock.
After seeing the trailer I did not have high hopes for this movie, so I'm shocked to find its my favourite having now just watched it.
This is my Spoiler free review, I'll do one with spoilers later when I've fully absorbed it.
2016 has been a great year for movies, Captain America: Civil War, X-Men Apoclypse, Star Trek: Beyond, all three have become my favourites of their respective lines (Avengers & Linked movies, X-Men movies, and Star Trek movies).
Full disclosure not an Abrams fan, the first two movies had some good moments, but the movies didn't really click for me, clearly not a reflection of the cast.
They even succeeded in making pre-Manny Coto ENT sound like it was something worth watching, which I thought was virtually impossible.
