After slapping my own head around for opting to watch this film., a review was just moments away.
Choosing to see a poorly reviewed movie doesn't have its flaws however occasionally you discover a hidden gem destined for cult status... Well maybe?!
There are word combo's for the very worst, sadly which don't apply here, as though the entirety of movie simply.., reeks.., of amateur hour effort ; many of the principal cast do exceptionally well to stay true to the characters,
Having the thinnest of plots, here actually helps the production make several leaps of story logic, as progress crawls along.
Adorable, Masi Ori again takes the role of Bruce., (hip name when certain better heroics needed), joined at hip tech engineer with Lloyd, played with (O. M. G), modesty by Nate Torrence. Here they seek to retrieve a super mcguffin piece of new tech that they had stolen from underneath their women~wooing partying night before.
Frankly, the story needs no more embelishment than a good spritz of a certain pheremone to garner genuine applause, as the script developed was either the weak ramblings of a prior draft from originating 'Get Smart' movie or envisioned from a nasty LSD trip, what saves.., I mean, retains a measure of dignity for all concerned surely are the Wardrobe, Set construction and Soundtrack, as it makes great use of everything already purchased in the 'Steve Carrell' vehicle.
Ultimately an entertainment-Lite option for viewer's who need their comedy 'Hammered', to their hairlines., (yes I was inspired to save the best quip for last), Hymie!!

One of the key 'Canon', defining elements of the Star Trek universe is directly challenged here.,
The impassible 'Galactic Barrier'.,
Baring in mind how vast the existing galaxy these characters inhabit, and the subsequent timelines of each series; question arising being how come 'Star Fleet', (whose primary mission was exploratory survey missions), haven't already a whole database just specifically for this 'Barrier', and need to conduct an ad-hoc mission just to penetrate just by excuse of this impending disaster??
It's another double-down episode upon similar theme., sub-plot giving a far more obvious focus upon 'Imprisonment and Escape'.
Unfortunately the more unique sci-fi aspects have again been swamped by giving vent to character / crew doubts.
Fortunately the effects team(s) are the saviours of this episode making the visuals interesting., distracting most from the lack of conclusive progress to the plot. Trimming of some monologues could've improved overall balance.
