Trivia:
The character of Dax in this film (a young crew member questioned during the search for incriminating evidence) is no relation to the character of Dax from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993). DS9's Dax would, at the time of this film, be in the persona of Curzon Dax, a Federation ambassador, which is clearly not the case for the character of this film. The name was a coincidence. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The explosion of the Klingon moon, Praxis, would have done more than possibly contaminate the atmosphere of the Klingon homeworld. The magnitude of the explosion portrayed would have altered the planet's orbit around its parent star, thus permanently altering (i.e., destroying) its ecological and meteorological systems. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Captain Hikaru Sulu: Stardate 9521.6. Captain's Log, USS Excelsior. Hikaru Sulu commanding. After three years, I have concluded my first assignment as master of this vessel, cataloguing gaseous planetary anomalies in Beta Quadrant. We're heading home under full impulse power. I'm pleased to report that ship and crew have functioned well.

Excellent. Utterly compelling., 8 December 1998
10/10
Author: Adam A. Rauscher (rauscher@usc.edu) from Los Angeles

This is a taut political thriller that rivals Dune for impact, if not for complexity. The issues explored here are both timely and universal. Somehow, this mixes the Star Trek mythos with commentary on the Cold War, race relations and military down-sizing. It is indescribable how cool this movie is.
