Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 VI" is a film that has crept up on me. At first, I didn't like it, prefering "V" (I still do, as a matter of fact). As the years have gone by, "VI" has proved itself to be a rollicking good movie, perfectly emcompassing the Star Trek world in less than 2 hours. The photography, however, is not IMO the best of the series. Matthew Leonetti's look of "FC" is spectacular, Andrew Laszlo's work on "V" is brilliant, and Richard Kline's work on "ST:TMP" has a pastel quality that I admire. I just wish that there weren't so many effects shots cut out of "VI". It could do with about 10 more FX shots. The extended DVD version is far better than the theractrical version.I think they all look various degrees of rad. A personal favorite is perhaps IV. Freakin' love how that one looks. The scenes on the Klingon bridge are amazing. VI has some serious visual zing to it. I love all those kinds of handheld-looking shots on the Enterprise, you know? It really makes you feel more like you're in there with the guys, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,534 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 As far as I am concerned, Bob Wise found his way around The Enterprise bridge, quite nicely, thank you, and with not a hand-held shot in sight.I love the profile shot of Chekov in "V" where he is in shadow - it's the shot where he says "Recommend Gallileo find safe harbor".Personally, I think that "IV" is shot completely flat, and without character, but I enjoy the film despite this. Inexplicably, Don Peterman was nominated far an Oscar for "IV", but deservedly lost to Chris Menges, for "The Mission".As for Ren's comments, I don't believe we have met - in a manner of speaking - but these "nerdy" conversations where people discuss the minutae of films, music, etc., are things which I enjoy. Glad that you get so much pleasure out of reading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scenes on the Klingon bridge are amazing.IV was my first introduction to Trek. Deep down, I think the crew still flies around the galaxy in a Bird of Prey, and all the Enterprise crap is just a ruse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Your quarrel with AI stems from a time when he harassed a member of the finer sex, correct? Does she even post here anymore?
