Overall this film was terrible although many trekkies will love it.
I have to disagree with some of the other reviews regarding the performances of Nichelle and Walter. A few scenes were good but the performances were generally wooden and hollow. Alan Ruck as a Star Ship captain was abysmal. When the ship is about to self destruct he asks Chekov casually "what do you want?" .. like he's taking a pizza order. As he is about to confront Chekov he is warned that it could be a trap. "Really?" he says sarcastically. Terrible.
The one shining star of the film was the performance by J.G. Herzler as Koval. He has performed previously as the Klingon Martok in the DS9 series. If the rest of the performances had been this solid and believable this would have been a terrific movie.
