Star Trek Beyond—special effects hide many of the faults in this movie— has a weak story line that questions its relevancy and clarity. An audience may question what direction Director Justin Lin is taking this film. It is what it is.

Maybe. Hard core Trekkies will love the special effects.
F9: The Fast Saga—not as good as the previous three films—still consistently
holds the expected story and serves action fans well. Casting did a great job of choosing John Cena
as Dominic’s younger brother. Neither actor overshadows the other and the power
balance is preserved. Good choice to move forward in future releases. A dip into Dominic Toretto's past in the introduction into the story is well done, but after that it seems almost run-of-the-mill until it gains pace as John
Cena comes into the picture. The movie has a great conclusion and has already prepared
the audience for Fast X in the mid-credit scene at the end of the movie. Good watch
that revolves around family events in a racing world.

Fast & Furious 6 sequels movies 4 and 5 and prequels 3 in its
mid-credit scene. The mid-credit scene introduces a new character to the
series. While the presentation is good and the acting great, this movie does
not have the likableness of the previous movies in this series. It still receives a higher rating based on the
acting and presentation of storyline.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
replaces Actor Paul Walker with Actor Lucas Black, moves the action to Tokyo,
and uses the talents of Director Justin Lin to introduce audiences to ‘drifting,’ a
type of racing popular in Japan. The storyline revolves around rebellious
American teen-ager, Sean Boswell (Lucas Black), whose Mother sends him to Tokyo
to live with his dad, U.S. Navy officer, Major Boswell (Brian Goodman), to keep
him from trouble with United States law officials. The ‘family’ working to
get their son on a better course in life isn’t quite what one would expect from a Fast and Furious movie; but, the racing is pretty good and the scenes revolving around Tokyo culture make a unique
story worth watching. The movie is not the best in the series. The story needs a boost in reality and the story seems more serious at times than the other films. That serious tone as well as deeper involvement with mafia hampers the quality of this film.
