MOVIE GUIDE: Here are 4 new movies for you to watch this weekend

Cape Town – Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise make their return to the big screen.

In the third instalment of the reboot franchise the U.S.S. Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy.

Also in cinemas: Blake Lively tries to escape a great white shark, Kevin Spacey is transformed into a pet cat and South Africa's darling Anna-Mart Van Der Merwe stars in a delicious rom-com.

Movie: Star Trek Beyond

Our rating: 4/5

Short review: Star Trek Beyond managed to escape the curse of third instalments and presented a neatly well-developed story with solid character progression, throwbacks to classic Star Trek and the best use of a Beastie Boys song ever.
