Star Trek XXX (4 Stars)

The full title of this film is "This ain't Star Trek XXX", which seems to be a contradiction. It would make more sense to call it either "This ain't Star Trek" or "This is Star Trek XXX", since it obviously   is   an XXX version of Star Trek. I guess I'm the only person in the universe pedantic enough to argue about something like this, so I'll just call it "Star Trek XXX" and move on.

Yes, this is another Axel Braun porn parody. In this case it's appropriate to call it a parody, due to comic moments unlike anything in the original series. Let's look at the casting. My first impression was to criticise Braun's choice of actors as not being identical in appearance to the cast of the original series. But then I said to myself  "Hold on" and compared them with the cast of  "Star Trek XI". I have to conclude that Axel Braun made much better casting choices than J. J. Abrams. Chris Pine was an awful choice as Captain Kirk, with very little resemblance to William Shatner in appearance or mannerisms. Evan Stone is admittedly more rugged than Shatner, but he's a more believable Kirk. Tony De Sergio is a poor choice as Spock -- could anyone ever replace Leonard Nimoy? -- but Zachary Quinto was even worse. Braun's best choice was Jada Fire to play Uhura, who's made up to be practically a carbon copy of Nichelle Nichols. Zoe Saldana was awful for the role. If he ever thinks about making a "Star Trek XII" Abrams needs to sit down with Braun to get advice.

"Star Trek XXX" is a retelling of the original series episode "Space Seed". Nick Manning strides through the episode magnificently, his arrogance making him more Khan than Khan. This is what a parody should be like, with or without the sex.
