Star Trek Beyond var en utmärkt film, men för politisk och utopisk. Och det är anledningen till att filmen presterar skakigt intäktsmässigt. Det hävdar Geek.coms skribent Daniel Starkey.

Han skriver:

"Star Trek Beyond is the best film we’ve seen from the series in almost 20 years. It’s picked up countless positive reviews and fan acclaim, but it doesn’t have any traction.In our time, in a zeitgeist that seems so ruthlessly intent on breaking us apart, sewing seeds of mistrust and anxiety, Star Trek Beyond wants us to believe again. No one’s talking about it. No one’s digging into the philosophical meat, and several weeks out, box office numbers for the sci-fi flick are pretty rough. What the hell happened?

It’s simple — Star Trek Beyond took the franchise back to its political, utopian roots and nobody want that kind of movie anymore.

On first pass, that seems like an odd thing to say. I’m basically claiming the Beyond is too Star Trek for people to put down money to go see it — but that’s exactly it. "
