Line 11:
** When Klaa blasts the Pioneer 10 probe, it emits a cartoonish shriek (?!).
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Kirk: "I thought I was dead." Spock: "Impossible. You were never alone."
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Jerry Goldsmith, [[Academy Award]] nominee for ''[[Star Trek: The
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Sybok, ''Leif Eriksson'' was the one who proved the earth was round!
** [[What an Idiot!|You're both wrong.]] The idea of a spherical Earth dates all the way back to [[Ancient Greece|Pythagoras, Herodotus, Plato, and Aristotle]]. By the time of Columbus' voyage, only the most conservative religious groups still took the idea of a flat Earth from the Bible literally. The premise of the entire voyage was that the Earth was round! Columbus' only problem was that he underestimated the size of the Earth. All that the Vikings proved was that there was a landmass beyond the sea (which, according to [[Norse Mythology]] was supposedly the giants' homeworld of Jotunheim). If you want to get technical, the first person to "prove" the Earth was round was Juan Sebastian Elanco, Ferdinand Magellan's second-in-command who took over the expedition to circumnagivate the globe after Magellan was killed in the Phillipines.
Line 28:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "What does God need with a starship?"
** From the DVD bonus features: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kestt5BI3eg "Captain Kirk is climbing the mountain,] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2ftCitvyQ why is he climbing the mountain?"]
* [[
* [[So Bad It's Good]]
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: Every damn special effect in the movie. Apart from a few good shots of the Klingon ship, which were pilfered from the previous two films.
Line 42:
*** That decision came back to bite him on the ass in [[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|the next film]]. If he'd dealt with the loss of his son in this film, he'd have had seven years between letting go of that pain and meeting Chancellor Gorkon (and the entire plot of ''The Undiscovered Country'' would have been different, yeah, I know).
* [[Took the Bad Film Seriously]]: Lawrence Luckinbill as Sybok.
* [[Vindicated by History]]: To a ''very'' slight degree. For about a decade or so after its release it tended to be up there with things like ''[[Howard the Duck]]'' and ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]]'' on "Worst Films of All-Time" lists, and wasn't much better regarded among ''Star Trek'' fans. Nowadays it tends to be regarded as just a mediocre sci-fi flick, with the likes of ''[[Battlefield Earth]]'' attracting more [[Bile Fascination]] from casual viewers, and ''Trek'' fans turning their ire toward ''[[Star Trek: Nemesis]]'' (and to a lesser extent ''[[Star Trek:
** And with ''Into Darkness'' easily trumping both of those in fan distaste, it's probably not looking too bad these days.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Word of God|According to Shatner]] and several others in on the original creation process of the movie, the plot would have followed the current form of the film much the same... until they met [[God]]. Instead of being a random alien, this would turn out to be ''[[Satan]]'' and McCoy would sacrifice himself to spare Spock and Kirk -- who would simply dive into Hell after their friend and drag him out of Hell with Satan nipping at their heels.
