A Big Joke with the Use of Technology and Star Trek

Warning: Spoilers
The technician Nanette Cole arrives at the Callister Company to work with the lonely and shy nerd Robert Daly that she worships, who is the owner with his partner Walton. They are working in the update of the game Infinity created by Daly that must be released before Christmas. Soon Nanette learns that Daly is a patsy guy and the coworkers mock him. When Robert overhears her conversation with a colleague, he catches a cup of coffee in her garbage and brings home. Nanette awakes at an Enterprise-like spaceship called USS Callister and learns that her colleagues and she are crewmembers and Robert Daly is the fearless captain of the ship. Further, he controls their lives with infinity power and they shall obey him to avoid tragic consequences. What will Nanette and her friends do?

"USS Callister" is a big joke with the use of technology and Star Trek. The creative plot is well-written and well-resolved, with an optimistic conclusion for the USS Callister crew. It is also interesting to see the dark side of a human brain since Robert Daly has two opposite personalities that uses his knowledge to live a totally different life at home. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
