It's not one of their finer outings, that's for sure. I don't dislike it, but man, it could have been so much more. It has an interesting moment or two. I also think the idea was very interesting - someone thinking all you needed was a really powerful ship and you could make it out to where God is. However, it was all wasted - and a little Lucasian - by having it be a relative of the crew.

Too bad, tons of potential there for a different type of Trek adventure. Add me to the list of people that think Shatner shouldn't be allowed to direct himself.

Oh, and Bill - no need to yank the unbuttoned shirt so wide open - we see the t-shirt with a funny message on it underneath. Got it. Really, we do.

Shatner must be the only guy who can overact even when he's not saying anything.

In the interest of fair play - I read the making of book years ago and Paramount really whittled the thing down from the original ideas. They also shrunk the budget on the fly. I came away with the impression that it was a wonder the thing ended up being finished at all.
