[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Valid points all-round. YES the effects were crappy. YES the plot made Swiss cheese look airtight, And YES there are several errors that us Treknical people have a hard time forgiving (Turboshafts, centre of the galaxy and whatnot) However the character moments in this film are second to none, the 'big three' scenes seam effortless. While I agree that the humour is at times cringe worthy, it is often the only thing stopping the movie from taking itself to seriously, which with a plot this thin would make the characters look REALLY foolish. BTW, I loved the bit where Scotty knocks himself out! :D On the plus side we do get to see parts of the ship and technology that have never been seen before (which for us Treknical types is always a good thing), namely the Shuttlebay, the observation lounge, the Jeffries tubes, the shuttlecraft and of course the Captain's log. ;) In regards to the Direction, I believe Shatner has admitted responsibility for the undeniable weakness of the film as a whole. I think he put it down to his inexperience with dealing with the 'suits' and allowing too many cooks in the kitchen. I agree that the Klingons were portrayed as being weak and ineffective, but remember that Klaa was obviously a young and inexperienced 'Junior Officer' (he can't be that senior given that he ended up as a translator) who spent most of his time taking pot shots at space garbage and cultural treasures. I see him as a somewhat over-eager cadet wanting to prove himself a little too much. He is certainly no equal of Kor, Kang, Koloth or Kruge and I don't believe that he was supposed to be a serious threat. [/QB][/QUOTE]
