“Sabotage,” Star Trek Beyond
This clip has literally everything I love. An unexpected diegetic soundtrack that has you on the edge of your seat visually and narratively. Every part of this scene is perfect, from Chris Pine’s weird little smirk, Bones’ quirky “Is that classical music?”, Sulu jamming along at the nav desk, and then the perfectly timed beat breakdown as Commander Finnegan says “Broadcast!” when all these ships just explode? Sickening. Absolutely perfect. I love the Beastie Boys at all times, but especially this time. Expertly done, no notes.
