I didn't see anything wrong with the
CGI, so that gets an "A", as usual. But I
do have a bone to pick with the FX in general. Why was the thunderstorm scene not tinted red, like in the original? That seems like a major blunder, right up there with "The Paradise Syndrome" when the deflector beam color didn't match the dialog. There's no poll for the general FX, but if there were I'd give them
no more than a "C". Come on, guys. You can do better than this.
I liked the idea behind the story, but the story itself was a bit slow. So that gets a "C".
I guess my favorite new effect would have to be the orbit shot. (There wasn't really much in this one, other than the orbit shots and the Enterprise shooting at Vaal.)
