From the opening score, it is immediately clear that the tone of this film is going to be vastly different from the previous two entries and the serious tone is replaced with a far more irreverent take on the Star Trek mythos. Whilst some of the humour may make fun of the characters, it helps that the "fish-out-of-water" vignettes are also very funny especially those involving Spock. This is also one of the few Trek films that gives all of the cast a part to play in the plot rather than just Kirk, Spock and McCoy. The film ties up all the loose ends left from the previous films and would have served as a nice coda to the original series had this been the last one. It is a shame that the environmental message is laid on a little too thickly but great that a bit of fun has been brought into the series after two such serious instalments.
