I have been watching Star Trek and after going through the original series, the animated series and season 1 of the next generation, i thought i should watch one of the movies!
I really had to fight my way through the motion picture. The pace was so slow and much of it mostly showed characters staring at something or someone. It was great to see the characters again though even though they had aged more that i had expected.
I’ll say it: The final space battle is underwhelming. Kirk wins by remembering that space is 3D. ‘Balance Of Terror’ had an infinitely more engaging and tactically impressive battle back in the 60s.
No argument there. The shenanigans leading up to that are what make it.
The secret code that a six year old should be able to crack?
(I like TWOK for the acting, visuals, and themes, but I won’t not rag on some of the plot details).
