About

You’ll like this if you enjoy Star Trek with Cold War-style politics, tense suspense, and a fun “whodunnit” mission; Not for you if you want subtlety, consistently fast pacing, or more modern, character-driven Trek drama like Star Trek: Insurrection or Star Trek: First Contact.

Pros: strong peace-focused story; exciting sci-fi action; memorable mystery vibe | Cons: slow middle stretches; heavy-handed themes; some performances
