If you drop the unfunny humour and re-edit the unfinished ending, STV can be pretty good. It has some wonderful character moments - the campfire sequences and the scene where Sybok tries to “heal” Spock, McCoy and Kirk belong to my favourite scenes of all of the movies
Agreed. Those scenes are some of the best moments from the original movies. But then there some things so stupid I can hardly fathom their existence.
