IMDB's page covering the original TV episode that inspired the film.
Or, as wags have dubbed it, "The Motionless Picture."
If you want to know what happens next, tune in to this pretty good entry, directed by Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. And for the second movie in a row, his last lines get us right in the feels.
Star Trek II, III and IV form a sort of jury-rigged trilogy, and after all the sturm und drang of Khan and Spock, they wisely decided to go a little lighter here. Nimoy returns to the director's chair as Kirk and the gang go back in time to save the humpback whales from extinction.
With Nimoy an established success in the director's chair, Shatner thought he'd take a shot at it. We never, ever speak of the results.
Nicholas Meyer returns, as the original crew bids farewell to the franchise at last. It's not the best of the series, but it does pretty well for itself nonetheless.
We're going to jump ahead to the recent reboot of the saga, the second entry of which posited an all-new conflict against Khan. It did not go over well with the fans, but—with the exception of that cop-out ending—we don't think it's all that bad.
Not only have we stopped numbering, but we've dropped the colon, too. Boom.
