In his special Leonard Nimoy: Star Trek Memories (1984), Leonard Nimoy spoke briefly about this film saying: "It was a very finely crafted film, and it did well. But from the actor's point of view frankly, it was frustrating. We didn't feel that we were getting to play the characters that we enjoyed playing in the way that we knew how to play them, and it was frustrating for Gene Roddenberry too. It wasn't the story or script he had wanted, and the gaps seemed filled with too much emphasis on special effects." Years later, in a 2012 Los Angeles Times video interview, Nimoy added that he too had felt that the movie had left the franchise stranded like a "beached whale" at the time, clarifying, "I think (Robert Wise) and Gene Roddenberry were looking for a (2001: A Space Odyssey) kind of thing, like (Stanley) Kubrick had done. A cold, cool "we're out here in space and it's kind of quiet and things move very slowly." (laughs) There was a lot of that and a lot of cerebral stuff. There wasn't enough drama. It just wasn't a Star Trek movie. We had the Star Trek people, but it didn't use us as Star Trek characters very well."
