Trailer for the film on YouTube:


Data as a bad guy (sort of), Worf with zits, Picard picking up 300 year old babes, Troy and Riker hooking up in the bubble bath, a pissed off F. Murray Abraham and the special effects really kick it big time into the digital age in this often unappreciated, but very entertaining entry into the Next Generation Star Trek feature films from the late 90s.  It even has a 6.4 on the IMDB, which is pretty good.  It is great fun and I totally think anyone can like this one.  It has what the nerd needs and also has a plot that will appeal to others. - Phil
