The surprising thing with this film is the number of actors whom I recognize from other projects and know to be perfectly competent actors, so the utterly abysmal acting is hard to account for. If you stick with it you'll see cameos from across the spectrum of the Star Trek franchise (regulars and notable one-timers), and the plot itself feels like a rejected Star Trek script rescued from the bin, and if this had been a fan-made film to which these actors were lending their faces for the sake of their fans (wouldn't be the first time), then I could understand and would be more than willing to forgive the amateur nature of the production, directing... everything. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
