I enjoyed it, fun and different and the ending did make me laugh with Spock's arm. I found I was less invested in the story as I was focused on the character interactions. Overall, I'm fine with it and it didn't have to be anything that is not trying to be.
I didn't quite get the reference with Spock's arm. Was this supposed to reference something in previous Trek?
I don't think so, I think it's just a joke about him doing things as a cartoon version he couldn't do in real life, and also him tripping balls.
