History YMMV / StarTrekRedemption

* {{Sequelitis}}: Inverted--''Retribution'' never really seemed to find its footing, but ''Redemption'' lives up to its name in terms of writing quality, which seems to be for the most part on par with ''Specter''.

** When the 2399 ''Fitzgerald'' powers up and leaves the nebula, the BGM is "Cody's Flight" from ''Disney/TheRescuersDownUnder''.

* EarWorm: The ''Voyager'' theme gets subtly reintroduced about halfway through the film as the theme of Good Garr, and it gradually gets heard more and more frequently in scenes with Dark Garr instead of the Borg motif.

** Near the end of the film, during the Wolf 359 sequence, and Thomas Reyf refuses to leave his post as the crew evacuates if it means the opportunity to hit the Borg just ''one more time''. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome as he boldly declares, "If those bastards want to go after my son, '''they'll have to go through me'''."

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Several scenes with Dr. Falwell fit this heading, first when she gives some advice to Captain Ronston, and then later when she tells Mitchell it's time to fix things between her and Kal.
** Later, when Ronston asks Kal to return to Starfleet, and puts a combadge on her desk. The fact that a piano rendition of "Wherever You Will Go" is playing in the background pushes this almost into TearJerker territory.
** Shortly after that, Kal visits a brooding Garr in his quarters, and convinces him to return to work. In a fit of anger, [[KickTheDog Garr lashes out at her]], but then sees her [[PetTheDog expression]] and immediately regrets it. Kal forgives him, and then he comments that at times, it seems like a part of Reyf is still with them. Cue broad smile from Kal.
** And in the very next scene, after returning to work, Garr goes to seek Mitchell's help with some shield equations, and winds up getting her and Kal back together. The end of the scene, when Kal and Mitchell are in each others' arms and gently rocking each other as the music swells, is a genuine TearJerker.
** With the fleet on its way to Beta Stromgren, a visibly melancholy Dark Garr visits his beloved [[Series/ThePriceIsRight Price is Right]] holoprogram, and when it fails to cheer him up, he wanders aimlessly around the ISS ''Voyager'', growing more and more depressed as every room he visits is pointedly empty. Made all the more poignant by seeing the two starships ''Fitzgerald'' on the viewscreen, as well as the sad piano version of the ''Voyager'' theme playing in the background.
** A conversation between Hargrove and Kal, as the former admits she was wrong about Kal before in urging Ronston not to trust her, and says she plans to be with her when she tells Starfleet her commission should be reinstated permanently.
** Later on, when Ronston has her HeroicBSOD, Kal gives a speech about Ronston helping her find her place again, followed by everyone else telling her to resume the captain's chair. The scene marks the third appearance of the Arkology theme from Andromeda.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: During the shuttlecraft launch sequence, "All Systems Go" from ''Film/{{Apollo 13}}''.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome. The planet of Alphekka IV blowing up.

** When the 2399 ''Fitzgerald'' powers up and leaves the nebula, the BGM is "Cody's Flight" from TheRescuersDownUnder.

** The first time jump shows the timeline un-making itself, from the perspective of the good guys (complete with CrowningMusicOfHeartwarming). When the second time jump happens, though, we see it from the perspective of the 2378 Garr, who relives the events of ''StarTrekSpecter'', this time accompanied by the theme from ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory''. The result is definitely eerie.

** When the Fitzgerald and the blue ISS ''Voyager'' go to warp to make the trip back to 2367, the blaring tones of "To 1885" from [[Film/BackToTheFuture Back to the Future III]].
** In a nod to [[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock the other Star Trek III]], at the climax when the 2378!Fitzgerald beams the shuttle aboard, an excerpt from "Bird of Prey Decloaks" is the BGM. And it's awesome.

* UnfortunateImplications: One might ask why Ronston insists they fix the time fracture '''before''' they track down Drakus, instead of after. The implication is that on some level she thinks they won't survive their encounter with Drakus, and wants to make sure the future is restored before dispatching their enemy.

* FanDumb: Early on in the production process, someone decided it might be a good idea to suddenly introduce two brand new characters into the story, one of which was a female Digimon. They would have no other purpose in the story besides getting married.
** And after several of the early scenes were posted, the same person kept trying to find ever-more-complicated ways to work Section 31 into things. When Kal was the only one wearing lipstick and not wearing a uniform in the first scene, rather than assume she was a civilian, the commentator immediately assumed it meant she had joined Section 31.
** A few weeks later, a video test went up that was titled "V'Ger Earth Approach" and clearly depicted the V'Ger vessel from ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture''. Another user commented: "that looks an 8472 Bioship to me." That comment was quickly deleted and the user blocked.
** Trolls were often fond of leaving comments to the effect of "all the women sound like men." Those comments resulted in instant bans due to the fact that ''all'' characters '''had the same voice.'''
** Another troll had this to say: "Cannot stand the All One Voice dialog! Not to mention how the LGBT agenda is frakking everything up........"

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: During the shuttlecraft launch sequence, "All Systems Go" from {{Apollo 13}}.
