Do you remember the old Klingon proverb that the even-numbered Star Trek films are better than the odd-numbered ones? Despite the height of Star Trek II and the depths of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek V, this sweeping generalization just doesn’t hold water when peering at Star Trek VI with a critical eye. Trying to recapture the magic of Star Trek II (and IV) writer/director Nicholas Meyer was brought back to the series. Alas, Meyer was unable to pull the series out of its tailspin.
