Things from this movie that Star Trek could learn


The bit where they are using the board to target the alien ships seems like what Star Trek should be doing, since it's more analogous to submarine combat than what they show in that series. especially when they are flying around in a Nebula which restricts visual and electronic targeting (ie Wrath of Khan)

agree?

It’s ridiculous to critique a movie with the argument 'it's not real, so it doesn't matter'

It was an homage to the Battleship board game from the 60's that was played on a grid in a very similar way. It would have looked silly and archaic in a Star Trek movie. (Even more silly than it was in Battleship.)

Besides, that technology isn't real, so it doesn't matter.
