Which is probably why it's such an awful film. Or one of the major contributing factors.

The book about the making of the film suggests that it was a lot more about how the fact that the crew actually got conned and all of the special effects budget embezzled with more ambitious scripts as well as shots all taken away. I mean, the script was awful and Shatner was protected from editors but they could have done much better if they'd had more time as well as had gone with their original established people.

Frankly while it didn't help, lets not pretend these special effects may have even been good! For all we know, they would have looked like claymation... and not the fun way.

To be fair, they wanted to hire Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic (ironic choice that may be) but ended up hiring a guy who worked out of his garage.

Well they ended up doing the next movie.
