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:)
