This is weird . A unexampled commercial message for Star Trek Beyond , which is available on Paramount ’s YouTube Thomas Nelson Page , completely spoils the end of the movie . And not in the broad sense of showing our heroes win , but in the specific gumption of give away something that ’s supposed to be a bragging twist .
In this 30 - second spot , there ’s an old video log demonstrate with a very human - looking Idris Elba in it . And since we all know Elba is speculate to be play the very alien - looking villain , Krall , it kind of gives the plot away :
And , in case you did n’t get it , the TV pip admit Uhura enounce , “ It ’s him , ” and a shot of the extraterrestrial - looking variation of Krall .
All of this — Uhura estimate out who Krall is , the quondam video of him explicate his motive — derive from the culmination of Star Trek Beyond . It ’s a major gadget that is scantily hint at until Uhura get a glimpse of him in a video .
Uhura says earlier in the film that Krall ’s actions are n’t just doctrine , that there ’s “ something ” about him . And that ’s pretty much it for the foreshadowing . It ’s the kind of twist that ’s fairly obvious for Trek — it ’s not an remote terror , it ’s been one of us all along!—but it ’s utterly present in the flick as a major Revelation of Saint John the Divine .
Not any longer , I guess . Which is in some ways fine , the climax is n’t the reason to see Beyondanyway .
