I was a huge Star Trek fan back in the 70's. At college, my friends and I would faithfully watch the reruns without fail, over and over until we knew every line in every show. The shows were campy, the plots nonexistent, and the acting painfully bad. But we watched nonetheless!
And so when the first movie finally came out, I rushed to the theaters hoping for the best. Sad to say, it was even worse than the TV show! I wouldn't have thought that possible.
The movie starts out great! The Klingons are nasty and vile and exactly like I thought Klingons always should have been. But after the first scene with the Klingons, the rest of the movie ... well, sucked.
If you haven't seen the movie, I'd say it's worth renting, if not for historical purposes. After all, we ARE talking about Star Trek. But if you are looking for a useful purpose to buy the DVD, I'd recommend skeet shooting.
