"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."

"Star Trek Beyond" is the 13th movie in this popular series. A surprise assault in outer space forces the Enterprise to crash land on a mysterious planet. Krall (Idris Elba), a lizard-like dictator who derives his energy by sucking the life out of his victims – and his minions – was responsible for the demise of the U.S. Starship Enterprise. Why? Krall needs an ancient and valuable artifact that's aboard the badly damaged starship … or is it? Left stranded in a rugged wilderness, Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), and the rest of the crew must now battle a deadly alien race while trying to find a way off their hostile planet.

Also stars John Cho, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, and Idris Elba as Krall.

Reviewing for The Wrap, Russ Fischer wrote, "This episode cuts right to the core of the series' original appeal, giving the terrific cast a chance to play against one another in a straightforward story."

"Star Trek Beyond" plays through Thursday, Aug. 4 evenings at 7 p.m., and Sunday, July 31 at 2 p.m.

The 5 minute short was written, directed and produced by Sue Mello.
