After a mysterious alien force destroys three Klingon cruisers and heads toward Earth, an admiral returns to the newly transformed Enterprise to take command. With the original crew reunited, the ship embarks on a tense mission of investigation and discovery as they confront an immense, unknown threat.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you prefer thoughtful, atmospheric science fiction and philosophical mysteries over action; Not for you if you need brisk pacing, frequent humor, or constant excitement like Star Trek: Generations.
