Line 42:
* [[Took the Bad Film Seriously]]: Lawrence Luckinbill as Sybok.
* [[Vindicated by History]]: To a ''very'' slight degree.

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: Insurrection|Star Trek Insurrection]]'').

* [[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.
