I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, it was a fun zombie horror story that was fairly self-aware and tongue-in-cheek, in the style of something like the Scream films, and that is something I often enjoy.

At the same time, there was a lot that I didn't like here, although I think that might be because I'm too close to the subject material to be objective– I've loved both zombies and Star Trek for most of my life by this point, and “What would happen if zombies attacked at a con?” conversation is one I've had with friends, and as always, the version of the story that exists can never be as perfect as the version of the story that's in your head. Also, I found the characters to be somewhat caricatures – or, at least, they didn't represent the Star Trek fans, and con goers, that I know, in any way.
So, three stars. Can be a fun distraction as long as you try not to think about it too hard.
