Theres 28 minutes left in this and I genuinely couldnt care less what happens to any of these characters or whatever it is they're searching for.
I'll try and finish it later with some liquid courage to assist me, but this is brutal.
All I can say is...Do Not Pay to watch this.
Michelle Yeoh won an Oscar? I havent seen that film, but....are we sure? This looks like a fan-film with a budget...and from fans of something else. Not Star Trek.
I dont know what this is or what it is attempting to be.
But if 'Uninteresting sequence of events occurring to random people you dont know or care about' was what they were going for then they nailed it, beyond that?
Dont pay for this.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Oh god, I went to some reviews, the ending cameo, WTF.
And one reviewer talks about the ending and sums it up with a great line.
Then the camera pans away like it was embarrassed to be there.
Locke, please don't watch the rest without substituting liquor for a brain deadening reality shifting drug, I just read the spoilers on the irish vulcan. There was a lot of coke in the writing room. you might actually find it funny.

Yeah, how'd that go? That was one of the worst things I've ever seen.
Other than Yeoh's character...name one without looking it up. They were awful and I just generically labeled them.
Irish Vulcan, Mechadude, Angry black man, funny black man, Starfleet lady, I think there was an alien woman in there, I dont remember what she did.
Really solid character development is the point I'm getting at.
What is the McGuffin that is Galactically critical that they find? The supersomethingorother...the super-soaker? I dont know. Whats it called? What does it do? Why is it important? No idea. None.

Point me in the right direction. I'd love to read them because that....that was sum bull####!
I'm going to cram the last 28 minutes later. I apparently 'need' to see the post-credits bit but put it this way...I dont whats in that last 28 minutes but nothing can save this absolute piece of dog####.
Where is Will Smith? Where is he?
"Get Star Trek's name outta ya ####ing mouth!!" *SLAP*
Hopefully between this POS and Discovery that little 'Trek' has come to it's conclusion by taking a bullet between the eyes. Mob style.

The rumour was that it was a pilot, but it was so awful they killed it and cut it into a "movie".
You know what...
First of all, that presumes that they knew it was pure abject garbage and released it anyways.
They should have taken a page out of Warner Bros. book and just ####canned the whole thing and taken the Tax Loss!
One thing that I always find fascinating. Working in the Film or TV industry. Either as an actor, a creative, crew...craft services get a pass.
But...do they ever really realize that what they're working on is absolute garbage? Like do they come to the set, get makeup and then do their lines and then go home and think....
"Oh God...that is terrible. This is going to be awful. This is going to suck. They're going to make fun of me."
Do they have that sense of self-realization?
The crew I presume just do as they're told, collect their cheques and go home, the craft services people just feed everyone (they are the real heroes!) but the creatives? You'd think they'd have to own this somehow right?
Take me for instance, when I'm working on a Tax Return I dont file it until I'm happy that it is complete and accurate and I'm happy with it.
What do these people do? Watch dailies and just have a giant red button that says "#### It" and 'thats a wrap?'
Did the director release this and rub his hands together in anticipation of witnessing his artistic vision coming to life on the big screen and then pop champagne? What? I dont understand!

I dont know anything about her other than she won an Oscar for a movie I havent seen.
But she was awful in this. Absolute crap. If she could have mailed this in she would have.
Now, in fairness to actors, they can only make bricks with the clay they're given and based on what I saw she was handed a hunk of dogcrap and told to make a diamond. So theres that.
So this isn't an indictment upon her specifically, but rather...no one did this thing any favours. Yeoh couldnt save it, none of the other chuckleheads were even any good...find the script-writer and the Director and a dark alley and...well, you know the rest.

It was an episode of Discovery without any of the worst characters. They substituted in some similarly awful ones instead, but they don't bring the baggage of having hated them for hundreds of hours already.
Plot made zero sense (as usual). Doomsday device to destroy the entire quadrant. villain wants to use it to rule the quadrant... which has been destroyed? Oh, you mean the Mirror Universe quadrant! Wait, you said that had already been stripped of all resources. But the Terran Empire is also going to invade... the Alpha quadrant that the villain is going to destroy?
I'm sorry. What's the f-ing plan again??!?
The fight scenes I'm sure some choreographer and stunt people worked their asses off for. But of course quick cut shakey cam means you can't see anything, so after the first 3 min or so, it get's really boring.
It stuck out to me after season 3 of Picard where the best character was Captain Liam Shaw, and in the final season of Discovery where the best character was Commander Reyner, the thing that was really missing was a great Star Fleet officer. Garrett could have been that... but they decided that she shouldn't be, and instead should be a "comedic" foil to be made fun of by the rest of the clownshow.
Ah well. It met the expectation of being tone deaf and awful. Picard, Discovery, and now this are dead. Here's hoping everyone who worked on them goes back to Real Housewives from whence they came.
