Saw it in theatres and then bought the blu-ray on release. My wife I and don't follow strek trek other than TNG.

Larry's holding the wire, a dog pees on it, he gets electrocuted, the chandelier falls on curly, larry flies through the window, moe falls off the ladder and the paste bucket turns upside down on his head- that's what this movie's plot felt like. Lots of gimmicks invented to make the characters run around really fast. I still had fun watching it. Who doesn't love seeing curly- i mean kirk get in silly fights?
