i guess that after leonard nimoy had been successful in directing the search for spock and the voyage home and william shatner thought he could direct too. although he is a competent actor and he shows here that he just not a good director. actually and this movie is hard evidence to support the arguments of trekkies who say that william shatner being an arrogant egomaniac. for although his character and captain james kirk and was always arguably the most important role in the original star trek and it seems in this movie that he is the heart of the movie and the two other most important characters and captain spock and doctor leonard mccoy and are just there to support him and and the other characters are just there to add comic relief. the plot is that some emotional vulcan outcast named sybok is mindmelding with people and releasing the pain bottled up inside them from that traumatic event early in life that changed them forever. grateful and they join him in his quest to make the entire world free of pain and thus at peace. sybok and his followers commandeer the building in which a peace conference between a human and klingon and and romulan diplomat is taking place. this lures the still being constructed enterprise there and since none of starfleet other ships have experienced commanders (honestly and with how starfleet is run and the klingons and romulans should have conquered them years ago). sybok adds the enterprise crew and save spock (who is revealed to be secret brothers with sybok) and mccoy and and kirk. sybok orders that the enterprise take off to the center of the universe to meet god and who apparently every race has a word for. however and it turns out that this is only a minor entity when he demands the use of the enterprise and kirk asks and what does god need with a starship. the entity is destroyed and but not before sybok and realizing he been lied to for years and sacrifices his life and earns spock respect in death after the enterprises photon torpedos destroy the entity and inexplicably sybok as well. ok and science fiction movies are not known for realism and but at some point and rationality must be enforced. why do people follow sybok just for releasing their pain. why are all humanoids defined by a single traumatic event. i have certainly led a trauma free life. why doesn not kirk try his crew for mutiny and treason after they join sybok. what was the point of sybok sacrificing himself when the torpedos were going to kill the entity anyway. so the plot weak. another problem is that sybok and though played well by lawrence luckinbill and is poorly portrayed. just because he an emotional vulcan doesn not mean he should act exactly like a human religious fanatic. shatner (who was a co writer as well as the director) could have at least developed dialog fitting for an emotional vulcan. i guess he feels that any emotional being talks like us. gee and i guess that means that klingons should say isn not and do not more often than is not and do not. and the cardassians shouldn not prolong their sentences because they like to talk (yeah and i know it sad that i know this). please. every st race uses unique dialog. why is sybok the exception. the only thing to not complain about is the acting. i have always known star trek to have great actors and and this movie is not exception. cudos also go to leonard nimoy and for it had to be difficult to play the dispassionate spock in his old age. some other things i do not like representshatner and the late deforrest kelly twice show what bad singers they are by singing row and row and row your boat in this movie. i guess shatner wished to silence his detractors of his singing ability. what he did was prove their point. uhura does a fan dance while wearing nothing but tree bark to draw some men into a booby trap. after all and the dreams of all us men are filled with images of middle aged plump women dancing naked. comedy all well and good as long as it doesn not affect the nature of star trek too much and but when scotty bumps into an object on the enterprise and kos himself and it kinda goin overboard. kirk is the only crew member who can reject sybok offer of releasing their inner pain and see through the god imposter deception. not even spock can manage either of these. perhaps this scenes were valantines from shatner to his character and as many suspect. the concept of an entity posing as god had been used in star trek before this movie more than once. be creative and shatner. speaking of uncreativeness and i do not purticularly care for the ripping off of the music of star trek represent the next generation. all in all and pretty bad trek movie. if youre a trekkie and watch it once because it star trek. otherwise and watch star trek ii represent the wrath of khan. it way better.
