Novelization vs. Movie

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The Novelization of ST:V was actually pretty decent. It sold the idea much better than the movie did. I think ST:V could have been a decent movie, but it would have needed a lot of rewriting. The premise is decent, but the implementation was poor.--RLent 22:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC) Would you leave the technical flaws in? For instance, would they still be able to fly to the center of the galaxy in a few weeks? --Peace Inside 22:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

The Rock Monster

Question for discussion...Is there evidence that the inspiration for the Rock Monster in Galaxy Quest was taken from the unrealized rock monster meant for this movie? If so, envision that part of Galaxy Quest inserted into TFF. Interesting.

The claim in the Notes section...

"The special effects supervisor, Bran Ferren, allegedly admitted he did not care about the quality of the effects work...."

...is a pretty serious charge, and needs a source.

Yes, the effects were crap. But saying the person who did them admitted he didn't care how they turned out is another thing.--MrWhipple 00:06, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

FX

If you can dig up a copy of American Cinematographer from the period, the special effects guy talks about how great the effects will be and how his theater training will allow the film to have great visuals. The article nevertheless pans the film even before the movie came out.

Revision battle

I'm curious why every effort to identify this as the worst reviewed Star Trek movie is always removed. I'd like to add this to the trivia portion. It's relevant, it's not opinion, and it's cited. Why not include it?

  • The Final Frontier is the worst reviewed Star Trek by far. [1] [2])

--Navstar 05:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Probably because the RottenTomatoes site doesn't have that many reviews in its database regarding STV (the Variety review is suspiciously missing, for example). Your second link is for STVI, not STV. Star Trek: Nemesis was trashed just as mercilessly, if not more.

Early screenplay

Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I noticed that most of the info on the early screenplay was added by one user over the course of three edits.[3]. They did not provide a source for it, and it is rife with unencyclopedic commentary (and personally, parts of it seem to be exaggerated bullshit). I copy/pasted the paragraph about the original story from the 00:57, June 22, 2006 version of the article. That text is itself unsourced, but it doesn't stink like what 72.145.221.149 wrote.--Drat (Talk) 09:25, 31 August 2006 (UTC) The longer description is from Shatner's own descriptions, which one would assume is the most accurate. It's definitely more accurate than the current description.

Blame it on Batman

As I recall, Shatner blamed the film's lack of success on the Batman movie by Tim Burton. Can anyone find a quote?

No, Shatner didn't blame the Batman movie. However, in Shatner's book "Movie Memories", writer/producer Harve Bennett stated that the summer of 1989 was one of the biggest summers for huge blockbusters at the time; showing big films like Batman, Indy 3, Lethal Weapon 2, Rain Man, Back To The Future 2, Look Who's Talking, Honey I Shrunk The Kids... and Star Trek V was stuck right in the middle of them. The competition was fierce and MAY have affected the box office. Plus, The Next Generation was a smash hit at the time and fans were less hungry. But Bennett didn't overtly blame the Batman film, either. He was just saying that Star Trek V had a lot of competition and a short theatrical run to make room for blockbusters like Batman. Weird Al's "UHF" got crushed that summer, too.

Which movies was ILM working??

This article is ambiguous. First, it states ILM was working on the Back to the Future II and III movies. And one paragraph later, it states ILM was very busy in Indiana Jones 3 and Ghostbusters 2. Which is right? Or are they all?-- SSPecter talk @ 12 november 2006

One of the apocryphal (non-canon) items I find most irritating is the line by Kirk that he never knew what it felt like to lose a brother; which completely ignores the fact that his brother Sam died in his arms in the TOS episode Operation -- Annihilate!. Should there be a longer list of such items in the article? — Loadmaster 17:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

The DC comic book novelization (which I used to own) rewrote the scene to have Spock looking out a window and Kirk saying, "I've lost two brothers in my lifetime, but luckily I got one back." Kirk then places his hand on Spock's shoulder.

Pre-Title Sequence

Latest comment: 16 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

It says in the article that this is the only Trek film (except for the overture in the motion picture) that has a pre-title sequence. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock plays a clip from the ending of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. Tschow (talk) 01:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the unsigned comment, but I'll create my account later. I also recall Star Trek IV had a "recap" before the titles. I saw this on a TV broadcast of the film in New Zealand many years ago, and found a transcript of it here: [4]

This means the comment in the article about this movie having the only pre-title sequence is quite incorrect. 58.28.159.33 (talk) 02:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Worst Star Trek film ever??

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Alot has been said regarding this issue in years past. Without a doubt, this film contains some of the worst special effects in recent memory for a Sci-fi flick; but to say that its the worst Star Trek film in the series, is really not justified. Here are some points of contention worth mentioning for better than worse.

  • There are fans who have criticized the humour in the film saying it ridicules the plot and makes the film out to be more of a comedy than a serious Science Fiction film. First of all, much of the humour dialog is present when it fits the situation. For instance, there's a bit of humour in the rock climbing scene as well as in the campfire scene in the beginning of the film. In those situations, its ok to inject the dialog with some friendly chatter and humour. There was no humour in the dialog when Kirk and the other lead characters encountered the alien-entity at Sha Ka Ree. There was also no humour when Sybok presented hallucinations for Dr. McCoy and Spock in the lounge. So the humour that was there, was done when the situation presented itself in the right way. Now how does this compare to other Star Trek films? Well, nobody seemed to criticize the 7th film "Generations" when Data exhibited wise cracking jokes throughout the movie surrounding his emotion chip. I think the jokes and laughter was way overdone and started to turn him into a laughingstock.
  • Another critique of the film related to certain elements of the actual plot. Like for instance, some people mused how the Enterprise could reach the Great Barrier in like a day or a few hours which was shown in the film as opposed to many years. Well, there were actually some elements of the film that were not exactly displayed from the original novel. For example, the novel contains info of how Sybok using his telepathic abilities was able to physically direct the Enterprise with a special technique to get them there much faster than they would normally be able to. Under budget restrictions, not every detail of the plot would be able to be shown on screen. Now as a comparison, lets look at the "Generations" movie for a second. In that film, the crew is confronted with the 'Nexus'. This has got to be the most ridiculous plot ever conjured up by hollywood screenwriters in the history of Sci-fi. First of all, if the so-called 'Nexus' can produce any fantasy of the human mind, who says the crew members in the film ever left the 'Nexus' to begin with??? Maybe they're still there, and they're imagining that they left!! And lets also say, they failed on leaving the 'Nexus', well according to the film, they can just give it another shot until they're successfull! And if it doesn't work on the second shot, they can just keep on trying because they have an endless amount of tries to work with!!! I think the plot of this film is beyond absurd and laughable to say the least.
  • Finally, judging by the business this film made, I'd say its pretty impressive considering what it was up against. During the summer of 1989, it had to contend with such blockbusters like Batman and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Yet it still managed to pull in 70 million. That was even more than the Star Trek "Nemesis" film. And as far as some of the acting in the film is concerned, I think Shatner and Kelley did some fairly convincing scenes like at the campfire and hallucination sequences. Maybe it wasn't Oscar quality, but it was still fairly good. I just think some people have gotten way ahead of themselves when criticizing it for being the worst Star Trek film on record when really all it had were some awful special effects.Qaptin223 23:47, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
