Get ready to head into deep space as Paramount Pictures releases a new trailer for Star Trek Beyond (featuring a new song from Rhianna). View trailer below.

After stopping off at Starbase Earhart, a remote outpost on the fringes of Federation space, the USS Enterprise, halfway into their five-year mission, is destroyed by a powerful, unstoppable wave of unknown aliens. With the crew stranded on a unknown planet and with no apparent means of rescue, they find themselves in conflict with a new ruthless enemy who has a well-earned hatred of the Federation and what it stands for.

With less than a month away from it opening in theaters, I was surprised that Paramount released a new trailer for Star Trek Beyond. Still can’t even get over that the fact that Anton Yelchin is dead (R.I.P Anton Yelchin. You will be missed). Its going to somewhat eerie scene him in the movie and knowing he’s not longer with us. As for the trailer itself, its a mix bag of sorts. While the new footage in the preview is great, the overlapping with Rhianna’s new song “Sledgehammer” feels awkward, more so than hearing “sabotage” by Beastie Boys in the teaser trailer. It just doesn’t mesh well together. So far, the last trailer for Star Trek Beyond (second one) is the best trailer so far. In short, I wasn’t as impressed with this trailer, but still excited to see the movie. Hopefully…its good.
