Title: Awesome movie, terrible re-release
Review: A more terrible hatchet job I have never seen. They took out a half-hour of dialogue, including a sub-plot essential to the end of the movie and put in a bunch of half-finished special effects shots. It actually makes the movie look cheesier to update the FX. (In one case, half the background is gone! Kirk & McCoy are talking in his quarters, and instead of leaving in the original where the camera cuts back and forth to each of their faces, they took a shot of both of them standing facing each other from 20 min later in the movie and dropped it on the scene. Lame, yes, but what's worse is that the bottom half of the wall is gone! Cummon. They butchered this movie. Just get a VHS copy of it and burn it to DVD. Do yourself a favor.)
