The movie is very fun!

I've fond memories of the movie. I think it was actually the first Star Trek movie I saw in a theatre. The novelisation sounds interesting, although I suppose I'm glad the thing with Gillian, Kirk, and McCoy in the closet wasn't in the film cos I saw it with my parents and my Da would have freaked out.*

*He still would, actually, but in a movie theatre with an eleven-year-old child he would've reacted much worse, I expect.
