Return

I also caught the new Star Trek film over the weekend. It was basically a slightly above average episode of the TV show, with more expensive special effects and too many sub-plots. The last two films at least upped the ante (Kirk meets Picard, and big fight with the Borg). This one looks, feels and *is* small. A couple times during the film they mention that the Federation is losing ground with the Dominion and the Cardassians. My reaction was "You mean there is something interesting going on and you are feeding us this boring 'Trail of Tears' meets 'Fountain of Youth' plot?".
