[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb] Er, but we're talking about the special editions. And Star Trek V plus new effects equals a terrible movie with glossy new effects. Star Trek V plus extra scenes equals a terrible movie that is now longer. The entire film suffers from deep structural flaws, and everyone knows it. You'd have to essentially film a completely different movie. It would be like a "director's cut" of Alien 3 in which Fincher decided to use the Gibson script. What I'd like to see from the DVD is a detailed and honest post-mortem, and while I expect we'll see a few glimpses of such throughout the extras and commentary tracks, there won't be much of it. [/qb][/QUOTE]I disagree. TFF is a [b]very[/b] good Trek film that suffered from a low budget and some questionable production design decisions. And while I wouldn't say Shatner did a GREAT job directing, I have few real complaints with the directing of this film. The story could have stood some improvements, ie with the whole God-at-the-center-of-the-glaxy thing, and the related special effects could have been much better had the money been there, but the whole plot about Spock and Sybok was very deep and there was a lot of good characterization throughout the film. It contains some of the finest moments between Spock, Kirk, and McCoy that have been seen in filmed Trek. The self-contained nature of the storyline was also a nice change of direction from the trilogy of TWOK, TSFS, and TVH. (Not that I have any problem with interconnected storylines, I enjoy them as well.) This film has gotten a really bad rap that has been PARTIALLY deserved, but not to the extent that people purport these days. TUC had far more problems with its story and characterization than this movie. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
