Alright, let me start by saying it's not a great movie. But what Horror-SciFi movie really is?
Still a lot more fun, more interesting story and better acting than you'll ever find in a James Bond movie. And hey unlike those, it features two women that aren't love interests!
As mentioned the robot-human cyborg gore is really nicely done. Which makes sense, given it'd directed by a special effects person. So if you'd ever wondered what the Borg should look like if they weren't pretty gore-free in this movie you'll find out.
Oddly enough ti did a couple of things that various later movies picked up. Take Matrix which only got released a bit later. The movie has a couple of scenes that feel like the "real world" in Matrix. It also appears to have a Matrix style screen saver at some point.
The characters are all silly cliche caricatures, but again, this fits the kind of movie.
Something to enjoy here is also that the movie doesn't try to teach you something, or to force some world view onto you. For once it wasn't all some secret project by evil Russians and that despite it happening on a Russian ship! A trope that even the captain appears to have wanted.
Again. This isn't the best movie by far, but I think it's a more than decent "crappy" movie. I guess that wasn't really the intention, it wasn't marketed as such, but I wished there were more big budget crappy movies the movie landscape wouldn't be as boring as it is today.
Even the jump scares are less annoying than in similar movies.
One of my favorite (not originally meant to be) B-Movies.

This is a classic that is so bad it's good. It's a likely intentional parody of itself.
It's cheap, dumb fun, something to relax and shut off your mind. This makes it pretty hard to rate, but let me try anyway.
Will this movie make you think? Absolutely not! Not a chance.
Will it make you burst out into laughter? That depends on your taste. It might, but also it isn't a comedy. Instead it plays with cliches, cliche fantasy and I think at that it does a decent job.
The story, as is usual with such movies is extremely thin. You can essentially ignore it. If you feel like something doesn't make sense, you are absolutely right! Nothing makes sense, but it's also not really meant to.
If you want to go for a silly, 80s cult movie, maybe watch something with friends, be it real ones or a can of beer, or whatever you are into, this movie might make for a wonderful, joyful evening.

It feels like they had a nice setup and I like how it atypically for the show throws you right into events.
However that's about it. Nothing happens in this episode. It feels like Chakotay and Janeway are having "summer vacation", the crew is upset evidently, and nobody is having a good day. Maybe they need a summer vacation as well?
Then some non-dramatic drama is added. A previous character is sprinkled in on the screen for continuity.
And that's it. Chakotay and Janeway come back from their vacation, sit down and they go on, warp speed of course and the credits roll in.
No story, no character development, no nothing.
I've been wondering if there is anything that that could be a setup, or some form of character development. I don't know, maybe Chakotay and Janeway get together or something? In any case, I don't feel like it was a worthwhile watch.
