This is Stuart Baird's first attempt at directing a Star Trek feature, but his career as
editor and also as director for
decent films like Executive Decision and U.S. Marshals prove he has the talent necessary to bring it all together.
Zach Woods (The Office) has a couple of
decent scenes as the campus
editor of «The Daily Complainer», Adam Brody is the boyfriend who may not be what he seems, Alia Shawkat makes a quick angry appearance, and Taylor Nichols keeps his streak alive of appearing in all of Stillman's
films.
