Okay.

Anyway, in previous 2 reboot films of Star trek series, the main antagonists (namely Nero and Khan Noonien Singh) share one thing in common where their motivation driven by revenge. But for Krall(main villain in the third movie, Star Trek Beyond), revenge was nothing as he had more complex and legitimate reason to hate Federation as much as Nero and Khan previously:

In the past, when still the member of NACO during Romulan and Xindi wars, Krall has seen many human perished by alien hands, something that also deteriorated his better qualities as person and hardening him. By the time Federation decided to embrace diplomacy and tolerance between humanity and aliens by the time of its foundation, Krall was resentful with this fact, as the newfound peace rendered his calling as soldier rendered obsolete and he has seen the worst in aliens that used to have conflict with mankind. Unfortunately, after an incident where he and his crew stranded in backwater planet, he has sent distress signal several times to no avail, the signal that Federation can never answered. This resulting him feels betrayed by Federation, which eventually made him sought to destroy it at any costs.
