<p dir="ltr">It was also really nice to see a SciFi movie that wasn't another dystopion story.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At least Simon Peg has a positive outlook!</p>
<p dir="ltr">My bad on actor/character swap. Anton played Checkov (very well).</p>

Umm, that would be actor who played Chekov, Anton Yelchin,<br>
as well as to Leonard Nimoy. Thoughtful & tasteful. But it<br>
could probably have been done (quickly) via film too if we<br>

Hmm, didn't "get" that but I'm sure it'll come along in various<br>
synopses/recaps... (Saw a comment somewhere that Galaxy Quest<br>
is the best Star Trek movie ever made :). Overall a better<br>
film than I was expecting.<br>
