About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want high-stakes sci-fi action with tense moral questions and lots of crew chemistry; Not for you if you want a more traditional, exploration-focused Star Trek vibe or dislike relentless plot conveniences like in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
Pros: relentless pacing; strong cast; epic sci-fi setpieces | Cons: plot holes; divisive tone; weak continuity links
