Star Trek: No Subtitle

[Chancellor Valium]

Finally got to see this. It's fine; the plot is OK (and mercifully free of Bermanaga reset-buttoning), the visual design is good, the camera/sound direction excellent, the acting reasonable if rather Hollywood and the story is decent. This is, at least, a better film than the last two films, at least.

The chief problem with the film is that there isn't a single shot that isn't ripped from somewhere - whether it's other Star Trek films, Babylon 5, The Empire Strikes Back, or Alien. And Sean Pegg was far less annoying than I expected. It's no The Third Man, by any means; it's not really even a Wrath of Khan. But it's still far better than average.
