I tried a viewing. Could not get very far.

Was surprised that food was a problem*. Doubly surprised a criminal felon could get in the Academy. Couldn't he just be a cook at the place, adding some intrigue?

Taps was a better movie and premise.

*--From Google:

Food on the Starship Enterprise is essentially free for the crew, provided via advanced replicators that synthesize meals from energy and basic matter, with rations allocated as part of their service, though energy constraints in deep space (like on Voyager) sometimes limited variety. While not "purchased," the crew receives generous allotments, with Starfleet providing all necessary sustenance as part of their duty, much like a modern cruise ship's crew mess, but with futuristic tech.

How it Works ~ Replicators/Synthesizers: These devices convert energy into programmed food items, allowing for a vast menu limited mostly by available energy and material patterns. No Money Involved. Within the Federation and Starfleet, money for basic needs like food isn't typically used; it's a benefit of service. Ships also stock emergency rations and gather fresh supplies when visiting starbases or planets. The primary limitation isn't cost, but energy, especially on long missions without resupply, leading to rationing of the most energy-intensive foods.
