After a great start to season 3 I thought this episode was an absolute train wreck with a combination of poor story line, poor dialogue and poor directing (sorry Mr Frakes).
As a lifelong Trekkie, I will not even waste my time trying to explain how bad this was, and I am now dreading the rest of the series.
I love all the old characters, but when the story becomes cheesier than the cheese it is time to stop.
I really, really don't understand why people are scoring this as a 10.... I can only assume that they are somehow paid to write such reviews.
Please, Please, Please if you can't honour and respect Start Trek, please stop making it.

I wont describe the actual movie here as you will be able to read other reviews already published. I will however will try to avoid you suffering the pain I have just gone through.
I was very disappointed in this movie, perhaps because I expected better from a movie with John Cusack, Adrien Brody, Jackie Chan. Perhaps I should have looked at who was directing the movie such as Daniel Lee and the typical movies he has made.... or maybe it was because the movie was just "really" bad.
I watched the movie on a quiet Wednesday night and I would estimate that a third of the audience left well before the end, some really early. When the credits came up it was like a fire evacuation alert had just came on. Please, Women and Children first.. We will all survive!
Jackie Chan fight scenes were well below par and I thought they were more like a "Charlie Chaplin/Harold Loyd" Silent movie style rather than a "Rush Hour" style.
John Cusack character was extremely boring and I could have fallen asleep in I was at home.
Adrien Brody was the only positive in the movie, but the movie was so bad that his acting was lost.
The child actor was badly filmed (always) like an old Asian hero film and I found the child annoying.
The production and cinematography of the film are cringe-worthy throughout. flashbacks are random and not in line with story. Slow motions are extensive and really annoying.
Recommendation - Go and see something else.
