Again, the spoiler should have been in the title, so I added it. The warp drive did not work in ST:TMP because the intermix formula was wrong, NOT because they were too close to a planet. If the movie cannot assume the viewer has some knowledge of ST history/lore (from TV and movies), then there's no reason to make it ST, is there? They may as well rename it Starfleet Battles or Days of Our Federation or something. Be serious. This is a sequel of a sequel (to Space Seed).
