The initial trailer for Star Trek Beyond has stirred up far more debate than Paramount probably expected. It fell short of the expectations of fans, and has even been criticized by the film’s writer, director, and cast. Attempting to shed more light on the actual tone of the movie, Zoe Saldana, Chris Pine, and Karl Urban spoke to Entertainment Tonight about what Beyond might really bring. We share thoughts on what they said.
