Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen dedicating the statue of Captain Kirk versus Khan, Linus (Chris Marquette) jokes that it looks nothing like either of them, to which Admiral Seasholtz (Seth Rogen) states "Yes, thank you for pointing that out. Unfortunately the whores at Viacom threatened to sue, if we used their likenesses." This is an in-joke, due to the fact that none of the "Trekkies" wear official Star Trek clothing, and the Starfleet symbol looks nothing like the one from Star Trek.
- GoofsWhen everyone is being chased through Skywalker Ranch and jump down a garbage chute, Hutch dives in head first but when he exits he comes out feet first. This was regarded as an error but it is likely the director purposefully did this to spoof Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), in which Han jumps in head first and comes out feet first.

Featured review
Yes, it's full of clichés, so what?
Although this product is far from inventive, or full of carefully orchestrated comedy. It is by no matter of means, slow and boring. If anything, it makes the time fly.
The humour is rather stupid and vulgar, but if you're even close to being a sci-fi geek yourself, or able to appreciate how hilarious this kind of archetype can be. You won't be disappointed.
However, there is a failed attempt at adding heartfelt drama to this movie, no doubt trying to inspire people to follow their dreams and remind them that the time for doing so, is limited. Which isn't a bad thing to do, obviously. It just seemed a little bit out of place. On that note; I have no clue as to why drama and crime are added to this film's genre, you might as well add romance and sci-fi.
Disconnect your brain and laugh your aches away!
