First Reviews Of The Newest 'Star Trek' Series: Hit Or Miss?
The new season of 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' is already generating buzz with its engaging content and nostalgic elements.
Director Akiva Goldsman, known for his work on Fringe and Star Trek: Picard, returns with a new set of episodes in the perhaps most famous science fiction universe. Once again, he leads the crew of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The series premieres on Paramount+ in the US the day after tomorrow. Initial reviews are very strong!
The third season again follows Captain Pike and his crew on their adventures throughout the universe. The combination of stand-alone adventures, returning characters, and the nostalgic feeling of classic Star Trek continues to be the hallmark of this season. Currently, the new season has a Tomatometer score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Humor and Nostalgia
Rachel Hulshult of Screen Rant states that this season creatively combines genres with the classic Star Trek formula once again. "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds boldly merges genres with emotional character stories creating a tremendously entertaining third season."
Alex Maidy from JoBlo’s Movie Network praises the series' accessibility. According to him, both new viewers and long-time fans would greatly enjoy it. He describes it as "a bold and fun exploration of the farthest reaches of our galaxy."
Entertainment at the Core
Callie Hanna from FandomWire also emphasizes the light-hearted nature of the season. She suggests that the creators seem to fully understand the series' strength: "Strange New Worlds is all about fun, and this season perfectly captures that."
Christian Blauvelt from IndieWire has a mixed view. He appreciates the entertainment value but feels it lacks depth. "What remains is the fun. And who complains about that? Yet, Star Trek has always had more to offer – and this series does too."
Fast-Paced
Jacob Hall from Slashfilm is positive about the series' pace. He believes that the third season doesn't slow down for a moment: "The third season never pauses or stumbles but confidently zooms through it all."
Less enthusiastic is Samantha Coley from Collider. She feels the series is less daring than previous seasons: "In a franchise known for its boldness, Strange New Worlds seems to have taken its foot off the gas in season three."
