For about half of the movie, I wasn't too disappointed. If you watch a straight-to video movie you usually get what you pay for. Everything was OK until the not-too-subtle religious overtones made their way to the forefront of the movie. Although I am not against spirituality in appropriate doses, I hate being hit over the head with it. I can't believe the actors were delivering their lines without losing their respective lunches! I read the original book by Heinlein many years ago, and if he were around to see this drivel he would have run away screaming.
An ending with some thought would have been nice. Let's hope that ST4 will be made with one. Maybe Verhoeven will direct.
BTW, did anyone notice the name of the protester who was executed at the end?
