This really and truly may be "it" for the franchise, and I can't say
leaving off wouldn't be a bad idea. Nothing particularly memorable hits
the screen here. In fact, it plays like a standard issue Star Trek
movie, and that doesn't fly anymore. And, beyond the tired formula, it
suffers in comparison with other recent sci-fi: too slow, plodding,
unimaginative, and technically lagging. The only real benefit: seeing
old friends, perhaps for the last time (at least in this context). For
die hard fans, it's enough. Others can skip it.
