Viewing Notes

via Netflix

Kirk leads his crew on a mission to free kidnapped diplomats and discovers that their captor is a Vulcan who happens to be Spock’s half-brother and wants their ship to find God.  There are so many things wrong with this film, but there are a few things that do work.  There’s a decent film here but not if you’re watching the theatrical version.  I’ve seen a fan edit of this film that cuts it down to the length of an episode of the original series and it worked really well like that. It was perfect that way by cutting everything that didn’t.  This film basically feels like an episode of the third season that got rushed through. The effects aren’t up to par, there’s a lot of silly nonsense, and it’s something they’ve done already in the feature films with trying to find our creator instead of a machine doing it.
