2004 'Special Edition' DVD should be a 5.9/10 on imdb


Reactions to the updated versions of the film have been more positive. Reviewing the 2004 "Special Edition" DVD, David Ryan of DVD Verdict gave it a score of 69 out of 100 and said that "[this] is the best version of this film that [the producers] can make with the material they have on hand. It's still not a particularly good film—but it's infinitely superior to the original version. ... What was once a horrible, horrible film has become downright tolerable, and actually somewhat entertaining at times."[12]
Due to the strong negative reaction to the movie's plot, this film (in any incarnation) is not considered canon by either the television series or the third film. However, stock footage from the film appeared in episodes of the series, particularly in the opening credits.
