Star Trek VI: Made on the Cheap, and it hurts the film

But seriously, you guys must admit that the zero-gravity assassination scene was awesome. I mean, come on. It is the best scene in the movie!

In the context of the film it is a very powerful scene. But in the context of Trek it feels out of place. We've never seen phaser wounds react that way (like a real gunshot wound) before or after in any other Trek show or movie.

i am re-watching this now on SyFy...the only thing that sticks out budget-wise that looks "bad" is the conference seen at the beginning with Spock & the Enterprise crew and Starfleet officials...while a little bit diverse as far as earthlings...no other non-human top Starfleet brass? Not even a Vulcan?

THAT seemed cheap to me...and would have been an interesting contrast to a later scene.

Later on a Klingon calls the Federation a "human only" club, which seemed to be confirmed from the lack of other Federation representation.


While there may be some plotholes or other flaws...overall, it's a good Trek MOVIE (as opposed to a long episode, like Insurrection felt like). i still like TWOK better, but this was a good one for an ending.
