The Star Trek film series, which was rebooted back in 2009 by J.J. Abrams, has had an interesting ride so far. The first film in the modern franchise reinvigorated the property and brought it to a whole new audience, while racking up critical acclaim (including a Best Picture nod from the Producer’s Guild of America). Things were a little different when Star Trek Into Darkness rolled around in 2013; its reliance on callbacks to The Wrath of Khan and fan service dragged it down, and it wasn’t viewed as favorably as its predecessor. Now, the pressure is on this summer’s Star Trek Beyond to celebrate the property’s 50th anniversary and recapture the magic to warrant further followups. Critically

It does make me wonder what's going to happen with the Star Trek movies with Anton Yelchin's sudden and tragic death (he played Chekov). Will they just stop the series or replace him with somebody else?

I lost interest in Star Trek several years ago, I just don't think they were writing and producing interesting stories that made very interesting movies anymore.
