Do not misunderstand the 5/10. That's more sentiment than clarity of judgment. But then again with promises of the old Star Trek in this day and age, a little indulgence can be excused I suppose.
Now coming to the movie, this is pretty much a 4/10 movie in general. Some things are really telling, like the scene where they set up inter-character relationships and background explanations for the audience and it's all at once, everything - like some recap scene from a previous episode. I don't care much for the visuals, I know how expensive good CG effects are, but there was stuff lacking in terms of story and execution. They honestly did try to put in as much content as possible - which might have been a good thing as well as bad.
Chekov and Tuvok are played pretty well, Icheb has anger issues, the Betazoid has that strong-vulnerable thing going on, Zimmerman has a singular role where he shows up to kiss and then leave (though I am joking and I did like his bit) and Lexxa Singh has perfect Kohl in every scene (yes I wrote the entire review to write this last part).
Look honestly it was a nice trip down memory lane but honestly sometimes I had to suspend logic and disbelief way too much to really get into it. I know they are trying to get this picked up by some network for a televised series and I hope they do. I just don't realistically see it happening through this though - though I hope I'm wrong.
