But the beleaguered Captain Kirk retains a delightful, book-loving defense attorney named Cogley (Elisha Cook) — think of a "cog" in a wheel — who dynamically makes the case about Kirk's primary accuser, an inhuman, unfeeling computer. ….

Accordingly, the "lesson" of Rashomon is lost here and easy, spoon-fed answers substituted for human truth.
