Three out of five for me, only because yet again, Klingons are the main adversary, although Christopher Plummer as Chang is a delight. I also enjoyed seeing Iman as the shape-shifter. And any movie that has the hot Kim Cattral as sultry Vulcan Valeris is all right with me! -- RR
Like TWoK I'll give it a 3.
Some okay character moments, some energy and pacing. It could have been a good story, but it amateurishly handled and not very smart.
4 stars
But what was Meyer thinking.. really please tell me.. when he staged a scene where Valeris slides down a pole??? !
please tell me. not only that it shakes the cheap-o set they were in!!!
Did he not watch the dalies and realize... "hey that looks dumb..you know?"

Good Will Riker

I thought that was an interesting homage to Batman...nananananananananananananananana BATMAN!!!
That really doesn't explain why he even filmed it that way. If I asked him he'd probably give me the same crap he repeats all the time about art, money, and restrictions and limited time, blah blah blah, but every studio film, even tv shows, can fix crap like that
Good WIll Riker: I love your avatar.I rate TUC a 5. It was, in my honest opinion, the perfect send-off for the TOS crew.
Maybe it's difficult to imagine, but first, the wall shake might not've been obvious until they screened the dailies the next day, and if they'd moved on from that set, or struck it, there's no going back on a lowish budget feature.
Second, that scene wasn't in the theatrical cut, as I recall. And shaking walls are everywhere in movies shot in sets. Ghostbusters, for example (and not because of a ghost).

I give it 3 stars. There were parts of it I didn't like, mainly the odd attempts at humor. I was reading recently that in his final log, Kirk originally said "the next generation" to which Nimoy had a fit and forced a change to "another crew".
So nobody has any "in universe" theories about why they suddenly scrapped the Ent-A?
"Hey you just saved the peace process and prevented a presidential assasination....were sacking you three months early and getting rid of your ship"

Perhaps they were afraid the ship would become the target of repeated attacks.
Starfleet has a weight regulation similar to Japan's for all it's officers? Since everyone save the Doc failed, why not sack the whole lot of 'em?
I hated that design from the refit through to V.
But there was something magical almost about that ship in VI and they finally got a decent bridge.
I just think it was rather abrupt.
We could see it as a reward? you can retire three months early for such a good job?
With the peter pan quote, did that mean they just crusied around for a while ignoring SF command before going bacl?

Man, that was cold.
I wonder how many people here will be able to keep their weight down when they're pushing 70?
You did? Why, if you don't mind me asking? Did you like the original TV design more?
The movie Enterprise (not the B, D, or E) is actually my favorite of the bunch. They took the golden proportions of the original and just made it better imo.
Yeah, I really liked that bridge. I think that Meyer finally got the bridge he wanted to have, but didn't have the budget for, in TWOK. It looked great, imo.
I don't know if it was reward or not. They were ordered back and would probably have had shore leave until they formally stood down in 3 months.
I think that's exactly what they meant. Kirk and Spock still had enough clout to get away with that.
It's easy enough to keep weight down, very hard to get it off though once past a certan point and age.
...
A solid showing through and through. Some very nice moments, especially for Spock (both with Valeris and Kirk). Not as momentous as some of their other outings, but few really weak parts to this one.
I always had a soft spot for the Sulu Excelsior but there was soemthing magical about the Ent-A, it ws the BRIDGE in the first few movies I hated, it just didn't look like a spacecrafts bridge, I know it's set in the future so your not supposed to understnad the controls, but look at the controls on the D, you would't know what to do with them, but they LOOK functional, look at the ones on the post refit 1701...nearly every button is identical..it looks stupid, not to mention the chairs.
On the last point of course they could get away with it, they'd just saved the peace process and prevented a presidential assasination, anyway what could they do to them now? fire them? they're leaving anyway.
I'd have crused around, then warped to the nearest asteroid field, took personal control of the weapons and emptied the torpedo bays and drained the phasers having some fun blastin away before going back to earth
