There is little point in discussing the performances. William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and the rest of the old crowd are back on the bridge. They remember their moves from the old days, though Shatner's promotion to admiral has rendered him more than usually cranky. There is a certain tackiness to the Enterprise, which has been redesigned to fill a large screen. Even some of the costumes are ill-fitting, and the special effects do not reflect the current state of the art. Star Trek had a long, troubled production history. Called to the rescue, John Dykstra and Douglas Trumbull have been able to contribute only quite simple versions of the shots they did respectively, and more spectacularly, in Star Wars and Close Encounters. But, completed in haste, Star Trek is, finally, nothing but a long day's journey into ennui.—R.S.
