Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites, 4/4 5/4). Star Trek wishes it could be Forbidden Planet. (At least, that's the case when Star Trek is at its best. Somebody should force J.J. Abrams and his writers to watch this movie a few hundred times.)
Objective Rating (Average):
[Update of a previous post - original is here. I really don't know what I was thinking back then. Has my taste really changed that much in less than three years?]
