    Star Trek: Section 31

    ★★

    Oh my god.  What the hell is this shit?
    I’m a long-time Trekkie and this was painful to watch.  Painful.  Actually, it was also highly boring.  This thing made my wife fall asleep, and Trek—not even the last few seasons of Discovery—does not make her fall asleep.  I forced myself to stay awake cos I had to know if there was anything redeemable about this thing.  I suppose the special effects would be it.  But oh god, the writing and…

    So.  Much.  Fun.
    It’s like a Batman movie in acid and Red Bull.  Like, it’s not the gag-every-five-seconds thing that I was expecting, but for Batman fans, it’s insanely funny.  Most of the gags hit but a significant number miss.  The action is insane.  Like, things happen so fast, you gotta force yourself not to blink just so you can catch it all.
    Having this many characters is at once great and also not so great.  It’s great cos it…
