Solid overall entry in the Enterprise (ENT era) universe, while it goes all Temporal Cold War again, at least that was a major story arc in that show vs just deciding they wanted to do a time travel episode, and... they didn't time travel! Good choice.
Pretty decent acting for the available cast, I give credit to direction here, as whatever they do is very very consistent. Good work.
Overall... weirdly slow. Inconsistently engaging. Just sorta not quite as good as it should have been.
Too dark. Not grimdark, not gritty, just too aughts all-film-is-dark. Turn on a light.
Can't tell if VFX are good because SUCH bad video quality. Atrocious. Comically bad. I'd have assumed my system was broken if other reviews didn't mention it. Seeing teasers and stuff at high res (I GUESS there's a good copy somewhere?) they didn't do themselves any favors with lens flare, shakeycam, the dark lighting (MPEG artifacting is bad in dark and high contrast!), and all these weird haze/fog effects they added.
Worth it. Lots of fanfic is unwatchable, this is worth it.
