--- Quote from: Vigo on September 29, 2020, 11:11:00 am ---As far as I recall, the motion picture literally took a tv episode script and stretched it out to a full movie. They had a Star Trek reboot series in the works that got scrapped, and just stole a script from it to make the movie. They filled the time with special effects instead of building more into the script. In the movie's defense, that was bleeding edge effects for the time. Also, I just have to say it.....it is one of the coolest movie posters ever made. Don't know why, but the space rainbow just works. [img[/img] --- End quote --- I didn't actually know that. So makes sense why I thought it was like a long episode with a lot of special effects just for the sake of special effects. funny. I've never really payed much attention to movie posters beyond using them to identify movies when scrolling prime for example. I knew which one was the 79 film down the way because i remembered what it looked like. |

The film was actually going to be even longer..... they cut out several sfx scenes because they proved to be impossible to film in 79 with the current tech..... for example spock and kirk were to travel to the data bank section of vger and kirk was attacked by what we would essentially call nanites today.... they tried to film the "robots" falling off of him and play it in reverse but no matter how they filmed it the result was goofy looking. |

It was everywhere on tv when we were kids. |

Search for Spock wasn't horrible. I just kept waiting for the Klingon captain to call for 1.21 gigawatts of energy to the disruptors. It did set the stage for the Voyage home which was a solid movie. |

It's the middle of a story and can't stand on it's own. Nimoy wouldn't come back unless they let him direct so this was the test movie prior to IV, which is fantastic. They should have called it.... Star Trek III: Contract Negotiations Lloyd's face was too recognizable so it was a distraction and he wasn't believable as a Klingon. There wasn't much plot to get in the way of all of those action sequences, which is always a bad sign in a Star Trek film. Also Kirk doesn't really give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- about his son. He practically broke down in tears for Spock in the last film, but at the end of III and part IV his son isn't even mentioned. It was a forced emotional payoff that didn't go anywhere. |
