Star Trek Beyond, the highly anticipated next installment in the globally popular Star Trek franchise, is finally here. And this being Star Trek’s fiftieth anniversary, it was nice to watch a film that had the humor and relationships of the older Star Trek show and earlier films.
We got a chance to sit in on a press conference with the stars, Karl Urban, John Cho, Zach Quinto, Chris Pine, Zoë Saldaña, and Simon Pegg (co-writer), and producers Lindsey Weber, JJ Abrams, director Justin Lin, and co-writer Doug Jung.

There was a lot of good insight by everyone on the panels. And at the screening of Star Trek Beyond we attended, we had a huge surprise: Simon Pegg introduced the film to the audience.
Now you can listen in on the panels too.
