Not the worst Star Trek Movie

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2009)

Please note, this contains SPOILERS, please do not read this until after you have viewed the film! This is definitely not the worst Star Trek film ever made. I believe Star Trek V, Insurrection, and Nemesis (take your pick) remain my least favorites.
This is definitely outside the Star Trek canon as it means the end of one of the founding Federation planets before the original series even began. I cannot reconcile this movie with the original series, Next Generation, etc, etc...
It was entertaining, although several scenes seem to have little to do with the movie and would have been best left on the editor's floor including one scene that had Willy Wonka written all over it. I have been a strong believer that the franchise should be allowed to rest for at least 10 - 20 years after the end of Voyager. This movie belongs in the same non-canonical alternate history that Star Trek: Enterprise belongs in.
The best things I can say about this film: Leonard Nemoy's role was good, and the movie was generally well cast. The special effects were good. The comedy was generally appropriate and it was truly refreshing to return to a more serious movie, in my opinion this is the first movie since the Search for Spock that comedy was not the central theme.
