Star Trek Beyond arrives on Blu-Ray and DVD this morning. The interesting thing about the domestic box office for Star Trek Beyond is that it was right in the middle of the franchise’s domestic grosses when you play the “adjusted for inflation” game. Justin Lin’s Star Trek Beyond, scripted by Simon Pegg, was conceived and sold as something akin to a “back to basics” old-school Star Trek adventure after the origin story reboot and the “dark and important” Star Trek into Darkness. The second film was about “old Trek versus new Trek” with “old Trek” coming out on top, the fan consensus was that the J.J. Abrams-directed blockbuster was too much of a conventional hard-action blockbuster in Star Trek clothing.
