So much so that its the only one my wife has seen.

But where does it stand with the rest of the franchise?

Drop them off and hope to hell they tell this probe what to go do with itself?!'

Uhura and Chekov find the real Enterprise, just the nuclear wessel they need.

Chekovs escape attempt, involving a novel falling from high place technique, fails and he is critically injured.

Uhura manages to track down the injured Chekov, who is near death.

Their heroic mission complete, Kirk and his cohorts still have the small matter of a court martial.

Dr Taylor meanwhile, has a few years of catching up to do.

It succeeds by bringing the characters to the fore.

Theres really very little to pick at in the film.

Its meant to be the same ship, so who changed everything?

Thankfully, the new sets look much better, so its a minor complaint at best.
