Review by Sunarep — October 9, 2010 @ 2:26 PM

I watched Perdition’s Flames before this edit so instead of watching how Bionicbob sharpened his fanedit skills it felt like a step back since Perdition’s Flames is the better of the two edits to me.
I have only watched Star Trek TMP once, so I cannot appreciate all the little changes Bionicbob has done as much as other Trek Fans here. TMP was never a good movie to me. It had one of the most interesting concepts in sci-fi movie history but the execution buried all the great intention and ideas. The movie is simply not engaging. Cutting an hour from this mvoie still makes it feel too stretched out, maybe it’s possible to cut it down to 50 minutes like a star trek episode.
However the material cut helped progress this movie a little better than in the original and it was more enjoyable (meaning the ideas behind v’ger don’t take so damn long) there is still the bad acting/standing around and staring at stuff/acting like people are fighting that a fanedit can’t fix

Also Perdition’s Flames felt more like a TV-Episode and handled the commercial fade-outs so very well, i was missing this from this edit.

I won’t spoil the end, but I think it’s really cool (even though i was suspecting it since I knew the fantheories, but it’s still very cool)
and I hope Bionicbob revisits this edit some day

7/10

I was grinning ear to ear, an innovative and interesting cut! Cutting out and around nearly all of the problems that the motion picture had in it’s release, and adding amazing atmosphere with the replacement of sound effects, and the rehashing of the opening!

This was nearly perfect, and when I discovered that this is an early effort from BionicBob, I was all the more impressed! I’ll be keeping an eye out for everything he does in the future!

If I HAD to offer a crit, repeating what flyboy707 posted above:

At one point, Decker says "You haven't logged a single starhour in over 2 1/2 years". If Kirk has never accepted a promotion and moved on from being a the Enterprise's Captain, then why would Decker say that line?

It was the ONLY thing keeping this from being a perfect fanedit!

Congrats, and please keep it up!

This is a great edit, and IMO, a great movie in this form.
It is easy to see why this movie didn't become a blockbuster--there is no finale. There is no big fight scene. The plot doesn't call for it, and what a cerebral plot it is!
This movie doesn't back away from the biggest question everyone faces, the big existential Why Am I Here? Is There A God?
And this plot will always be relevant. Anyone watching Cosmos or Through The Wormhole on TV in 2014 has seen questions like these posed. But because of this plot, instead of a big space battle finale, like Star Wars had, we get Decker hooking up with the bald chick in some glowing lights. Again, I can see how it was perhaps disappointing to the masses, but this is the story they told and I still think it was a damned brave one.
I've watched BionicBob's first 3 Star Trek movie edits in order, but am reviewing this one 3rd because I have virtually nothing to say about this edit other than it is flawless. It is never going to be my fav movie, but this is def my fav edit of the movie. And, of the first 3 Trek edits that Bionic Bob has done, this is my fav. Though I am looking forward to Trek 4-6!
