I MEAN, didn't Voyage Home make LOTS AND LOTS OF money? So why did they give Shatner a budge of FIFTY PENCE for Final Frontier?

Ok serious answer.
They had a budget of around 35 million, pretty good in those days, Shatner got 5 Million to star, due to their mutal contracts, Nimoy got the same, Deforest got 1 Mill, and another Mill was distributed among the lesser cast.
Add to that another couple of Mill that Shatner picked up for writing and directing, a large fee to get Jerry Goldsmith to provide the same godam music he uses in every trek film, and your left with a very small special effects budget.
For the sequances he wanted ILM simply wanted too much money, the studio wouldnt give more money, so they looked around for a cheap effects house, the one tehy found promised good effects but didnt deliver.
Years later the effects could have easily been replaced for teh DVD for around 1 mill, but the studio wouldnt cough up, of course the Shat could have paid himself, but didnt.

IT'S FUNNY HOW DAVID WARNER WAS IN TWO CONSECUTIVE MOVIES PLAYING DIFFERENT CHARACTERS. If you find things like that funny. I don't.

Is this real life?
And then in TNG
I think the rock monster looks cool, although I don't really get what it had to do with Spock's half brother and god.
