So disappointed in this one. It just felt like a lot of it was pointless. Why didn't the aliens just attack the colony to start with? They had a million little craft, instead they just stuck to a convoluted plot involving the Enterprise and an old Ship. The passing of Leonard Nimoy was included and was a nice touch. It made me long for the old Star Trek when plots were a bit quirky and you cared for the characters, and the makers at least obeyed the rules of the Star Trek universe. I'd probably watch one of the original films instead if you want a more enjoyable experience. This isn't progress I'm afraid. I don't normally write reviews but felt I needed to as a long time semi-fan of Star Trek.

Silent Running
(1972)
So good - please watch.

Maybe one of the most moving things about this film is the fact that the drones (small droids) give such powerful performances without ever being able to utter a word. Maybe a "nod" in some ways to the days of the silent movie. The environmental message is as powerful today as it was in 1972.
An extremely good yet brief film that I felt I had to comment upon it. Enjoyed the hippy theme tune as well just because it fitted right in. These types of film are rare but precious. I remember watching this as a child and it had an impact on me then so I thought I should revisit the piece 20 years later. Absolutely not disappointed.
