Capt. Kirk and his crew must deal with Mr. Spock’s half brother who kidnaps three diplomats and hijacks the Enterprise in his obsessive search for God. This has a very big feeling of been there, done that. Finding god was the overall driving plot of the first film and for whatever reason they decided to revisit that again and in a terrible way. Sure there are some great character moments in this, but the plot is terrible, the effects are way below what we’d come to expect from the films, the writing is all over the place and they throw out continuity for the sake of giving in to the director’s whims. The best cut I’ve seen of this film cuts it down to about 53 minutes long, the duration of an episode of the original series, and that actually worked if only because they trimmed so much of the meh from the film but it still wasn’t great by any means. This is the film that was almost the last hurrah for the original Trek cast and that’s really sad.
