Concerning women in the movie: http://community.livejournal.com/where_no_woman/53958.html This isn't at all enough -- they should be front and center, and as a friend of mine put it, the movie should not have given itself points for merely approaching to 1960's liberalism (and not even fully living up to that) -- but I was glad those ladies were there.
Concerning the movie being fun... well, de gustibus non disputandum. One of the things I've been enjoying about the fandom are indeed these "What-ifs"; it's a place where I can write Captain [Female Character] or Admiral [non-Western Name] and know people will notice and be pleased.
