Go see this good fun movie if you like a good laugh. It's got a lot of
humor for grown ups (I went with my housemate). You'll recognize a crew
of another show being mercilessly parodied (no names, Mr. Spock!).
William Shatner takes a bit of a beating indirectly, but its probably
mostly true as most good satire is though exaggerated. And a good look
at this movie ought to give all of us PSB must-seem-real types a good
laugh - the people involved don't have any idea how their own kit
works! But it does.... (one point for the play-it-don't-worry-about-it
crowd!). And if you are a trekkie, or trekker, be warned, fandom takes a
pretty good lampooning here too, though they help save the day.
Worth seeing. I give it a 7.5 out of 10. And Sigourney Weaver is
virtually remade by the addition of either dyed blonde hair or the
blonde wig.... I wouldn't have recognized her. And their ship looks like
a combination of an airbus and the droid control ship from phantom
menace. But Tim Allen pulls off a good Kirk.... an hommage by any other
name is still a tribute of sorts...
:) This is all opinion.... no gaurantees or warranty. Just a suggestion
its more than a kids movie. I laughed most of the way through it :)
