The year is 2399, and the USS ''F. Scott Fitzgerald'' is about to be decommissioned, when [[DisasterMovie disaster strikes]]. A NegativeSpaceWedgie suddenly and inexplicably starts tearing through the space-time continuum, destroying planets and leaving nothing in its wake. Several of our heroes [[ThereAreNoCoincidences just happen]] to be aboard their mothballed ship when it happens, and they [[MandatoryUnretirement courageously set out to stop the disasterhip]]. After [[OutrunTheFireball narrowly escaping destruction themselves]], they discover that even Earth is reduced to a LethalLavaLand. An investigation reveals that [[BigBad Drakus]] is behind it, and that the whole string of DisasterDominoes was set off by his going back in time. To prevent the cataclysm, they have to follow him back and stop him.

*** Hargrove stepping forward and boldly declaring "Today IS a good day to die!" is both a reference to to TNG and DS9, as well as a rare CallBack to StarTrekRetribution, when she quoted Chancellor Martok, strongly hinting at some form of Klingon heritage in her. This is lampshaded when, after shooting Drakus only for the phaser blast to be stopped by a forcefield, [[PardonMyKlingon she swears in Klingon]]. For bonus points, the curse is a longer version of one she muttered in Retribution.

** This is somewhat lampshaded during the epilogue, as Ronston mentions the Kristie android from 2378, but doesn't make any mention of the one we last saw on the bridge of the ''Iron Vulture'' at the end of ''Retribution''.

* UnfortunateImplications: The Kristie android is neither seen nor mentioned the entire film. Initially this might be taken to mean she simply went down with the Mark-I ISS ''Voyager'' at the end of the previous film, but as we go on and see Drakus' increasing insanity, it's not hard to imagine he devised some far more sinister end for her.

** Kendra Ronston has seen her ex-husband killed after she was mean to him, only to come face to face with his younger self; been forced to ally herself with Dark Garr, whose motives and loyalties are questionable at best; and been forced to sit by and allow the Battle of Wolf 359 to happen without interfering, listening silently as 11,000 Starfleet officers in 2367 lose their lives to the Borg. When she returns to 2399 to find Merv alive and well and the Federation restored, it's because she persevered through circumstances that would break most people.

** The BMG actually does this, doubling as a bit of bookending. The first scene in the film--of Kendra Ronston saying her final goodbye to the old ''Fitzgerald''--is backed by the First Contact theme, which plays again through her final log entry, which ends with the reveal of the new ''Fitzgerald''.

* WhatMightHaveBeen. WordOfGod suggests that in the film's original ending, the ''Fitzgerald''-B was to have been another Mark-II ''Galaxy''-class vessel, replacing its predecessor in much the same way as the ''Enterprise''-A at the end of StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome. That idea was ultimately scrapped in favor of the new ship being a ''Sovereign''-class starship. Its bridge is depicted by a redressed version of the ''Daystrom'' bridge from the first film, with updated LCARs and colors.

The music is from a scene in [[Series/Supernatural Supernatural]] with the two lead characters saying goodbye to their father; in the same way, Garr is saying goodbye to Reyf, who in all three films has been portrayed as something of a father figure to his officers--while at the same time acknowledging Reyf's own father.

** So, Drakus' entire motivation is the fact that the Borg technology keeping him alive was destroyed. Right? Yet, when the Mark-II ISS ''Voyager'' is launched, it can clearly be heard making the same sounds as a Borg ship, implying it has Borg technology of some kind. If Drakus can replicate one type of Borg technology, why can't he replicate another?

** In the second holodeck scene at the dam, the water is very clearly moving ''towards'' the dam. But looking at the clouds, the wind is just as clearly blowing in the opposite direction.
*** Potentially justified; could be the result of the dam pulling water to its far side for purposes of making electricity.
