30. That scene was IMO the very moment when the Original Seies Star Trek Movies jumped the shark.

“My pleasure.”

I remember seeing this movie in the theaters and being embarrassed to be there.

This movie was an embarrasment to the franchise, and using Shat’s explanation in his books to try to hide from his own failings is ridicoulous. Better SFX would not have saved this movie, because the premise is a joke and the characters act out of character.

For all those claiming that this movie contains great character moments, umm ok, but what about all the out of character moments? Spock betraying his captain and turning over the keys to the Enterprise? Allowing a bunch of desert idiots to take over the ship is also a joke. How about Scotty – the once and future engineer of the Enterprise hitting his head?????????/

This movie was a joke on many levels, and to use Shatner’s book to blame others is also a joke.

#226—-Look up the word “militarism”, please.

TWOK and TSFS are ‘not’ militaristic.

At no time is the 23rd Century society depicted in those two films suggesting a predominance of the military class. The Federation Council and the other civilian leadership within the UFP are very much in charge.

Japan in the 1930’s-40’s was “militaristic”. Even under threat of a conspiracy involving Starfleet officers in TUC, none of the films were “militaristic”.

Space battles between starships (especially instigated by villains) do not equate to that.

“If the effects had been better, man, it would’ve been a greater movie!”

It simply would have been a more expensive turd, IMO.

“My only problem with TFF was the effects.”

omg obviously you and I watched two different movies then.

terrible dialog (in several instances)
awful jokey jokes
not enough real action
anti-climactic ending
bad effects
a lot of the dialog is WAYYY too rushed, particularly lines from Shatner
story is sub par overall

I’m sorry, even with several bright spots in the film (which many of you pointed out and I do agree), STV is really, truly sub-standard Star Trek.

224 – Priceless!

My only problem with TFF was the effects. The story was good, the acting some of the best out of the films, and the music was pretty decent. It was a good continuation on TVH and continued the move away from the militaristic nature of TWOK and TSFS. If the effects had been better, man, it would’ve been a greater movie!
