Adventure Improved! The right way to see this movie....
I always enjoy the novelizations of the Trek movies - often they are the better version, certainly the case here. Dillard does a good job tightening up the story, polishing off the characters and blurring the rough parts.

Another example of the good writer/bad script pairing resulting in a readable, though not spectacular, novelization. J.M. Dillard didn't have much to work with, and she did the best she could. (See "Empire Strikes Back" for a good script/bad writer disaster, and "Revenge of the Sith" for another bad script/good writer success.)
