Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, ). It has some good moments of suspense. The humor actually works for a change. (What's this? A woman who's not instantly seduce-able by Captain Kirk? She'll come around...) The resolution to the problem is corny and very predictable, but they have a pretty good time getting there.
Objective Rating (Average):
