I never got the impression Sybok was nuts, just deluded and misled.
And yeah, the outfit they went to for the FX should never have been allowed near a Trek movie. Can’t recall if ILM was swamped or Paramount didn’t want to pony up.
Thankfully, TM2YC’s edit is well on it’s way to salvaging the movie. His new FX shots have impressed me.
Where can I find these FX shots, if I may be so bold?
