ST-IV Success[edit]

This "most successful" Trek movie legend has been bandied about, but in reality the highest grossing film (especially adjusted to current dollars) is still Robert Wise's Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Somebody should clean up the Trek section on a whole, as Meyer had nothing to do with Nemesis and it isn't justifiable to have as much space in this entry as given to "The Seven Per Cent Solution" given to the even/odd Trek numbering lore.—Preceding unsigned comment added by The Giant Puffin (talk • contribs) 10:18, 15 June 2007

Removed section[edit]

I've removed a good faith edit by an anon user. He says he saw it on a DVD commentary, and I have reason to not take him at his word. However, the section needs a lot more citation than it currently has. Specifically, the bit about the fan favorite and the crediting of Khan's success. the other stuff needs reliable citation, too.

Direction Style
Meyer is widely regarded by Star Trek fans to be the best director used on the films, and is largely credited for the overwhelming success of Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. He insisted on a very military and action packed feel, describing it to be like "a high seas adventure." On Star Trek The Undiscovered Country, he insisted also that the corridors and sets on the Enterprise be shrunk to make it feel more cramped, military and like on a submarine. His methods have been largely succesful. He also takes great detail in directing actors in scenes and takes. During Star Trek filming, he said that he made William Shatner do takes over and over again so he would act more naturally, and less over the top.

Rewritten to Refocus[edit]

The article as-written was so heavily focused on Star Trek that it glossed over the bulk of Meyer's career. I have rewritten and reorganized the overview and added a far more detail on the subject's career. I also removed some bits that are trivia about the Star Trek films which can be found under entries about those films but which are irrelevant to the career of Nicholas Meyer.

I need to add additional citations, but must do some research in order to do so. MrNeutronSF (talk) 22:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
