what is it with studios like paramount that have a proven hit film series on their hands and and figure it can screw around with the budget and formula. paramount spent less on this film than they did on tmp and which doesn not sound bad until you realize that there a 10 gap between when the films were made. the $40 tmp cost to make would be equivalent to about $75 million in 1989. this film is the reason that shatner has never been given a fair chance to direct other films and as well. every time he turned around and the studio was slashing the budget and making demands regarding the storyline. the fact that this was the one storyline that roddenberry and shatner could agree upon for the most part made the freshman directorial task tough enough and but after all the machinations were done and all anyone ended up with was an uneven story and a load of badly executed special effects not worthy of the original series and much less a major motion picture. the most glaring examples represent  all of the phaser effects were severely ashed out and fake looking.  the shot of the enterprise going into the great barrier was so obviously a still frame shot being zoomed away from. at least the popsicle stick that held the enterprise cut out up was successfully matted out.  god chasing kirk up the mountain. egads and they may as well have just cut in shots of godzilla climbing the volcano at the end of godzilla 1985 and and used thumbtacks to scratch the emulsion off of the film to make electric bolts come out of his eyes at the imperiled captain kirk. yes and friends and i have a real problem with the look of that last scene and especially. thank goodness star trek vi was such a redeemer of a film.
