While it’s not the worst of the Trek movies, it’s decidedly the roughest ride we’ve had in quite a while.

The film combines humor, action, and Trekkian optimism in true Original Series fashion, and it’s just spectacular. Richard likes it too, I guess. But don’t worry! Just because the trilogy is over ...

When war is maintained artificially, as in “A Taste of Armageddon”, he’s all for it, but when happiness is artificially created and maintained, as in “This Side of Paradise”, he’s all for that, too. It’s a good thing Eric is here to temper that insanity with a long monologue about ...
