But it's an amusing historical relic, reminding us that, while Gene Roddenberry may have done a bunch of things quite right, the man did not have a perfect touch as a writer...

I had heard of this film, though I haven't seen it.

It is important to recall the time passing. What counted as "good writing" in the 1970s and what counts today just aren't the same. By most of today's standards, most of TOS and TNG are bad writing, for example.
