You should check out the original British version, Blow-Up (1966).

Yep it’s another one in the big movie queue!

All in all I liked parts of this but it misses the energy of TOS; its heart, its exuberance and most of all its inherent silliness.
But the the few seconds of Bones here and there are priceless.

It helps if you think about the underlying themes of rebirth. The pace, the imagery, the whole feeling of stiff limbo. VGER is trying to be reborn, just as Bones, Spock and Kirk are trying to get their mojo back. By the end they all come back together after all the years apart and solve a classic TOS style plot, while becoming their old TOS selves. Then you can get into the following trilogy where the real good stuff waits.
