His fist and wrist throbbed with pain. The punch he had landed did the job alright, but it cost him spades and would need to be iced down.

"I'll have to take Ensign George up on her offer before she's back to normal.", Kirk mused, smiling to himself. He grabbed the phaser and slung it around his waist, continuing up the stairwell towards the second chamber.

Data must solely represent non-carbon-based life at a Federation symposium on galactic civil rights. Riker fights a bear.

Picard must devise a plan to free the Enterprise from a gravitational "pitcher plant" nebula. Beverly's harmonica performance is torturous.

The Enterprise is flung into the Delta Quadrant by an alien called the Caretaker. Geordi soups up the warp core and they're home by dinner.

A team of elite space thieves deactivate the Enterprise's artificial gravity and steal the warp core. Barclay disintegrates his legs.

have there been any good space movies in the past ten years where the antagonist is a scientific mystery?

the scientific mystery can be something that puts everybody in danger, or is a consequence or something somebody did, whatever.

e.g., st:tmp is more crew vs. weirdo space mystery than it is crew vs. scary space villain.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

I was going to suggest this.

When people complained about how slow it was (compared to your typical explosion-driven SF movies), Soderbergh said something like, "if you don't like the first ten minutes, get up and leave because it's not going to change".
