Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: As Kirk and McCoy are descending the stairs into the prison on Rura Pente, there is a trio of aliens watching them come down. Watch the green, lizard-like alien in the middle. If you look at the base of his skull on the back of his head, you'll see a triangular opening just above the collar of his coat. This is obviously the opening that would allow the actor to take his alien mask off.

Quotes:

After three years, I have concluded my first assignment as master of this vessel, cataloguing gaseous planetary anomalies in Beta Quadrant. We're heading home under full impulse power. I'm pleased to report that ship and crew have functioned well.

THEME FROM 'STAR TREK' TV SERIES

One of the best in the series!

In the theatre years ago when I saw this film I thought gosh this is really different for a Star Trek film. It had so much suspense and conspiracy, and so much mystery that this was one of the best films in the collection. The acting is great, the action and the effect are superb, and the music is very good! I recommend this to all Star Trek and sci-fi film fans!
