Not So Massive: Netflix Removes Star Trek 3

Those nerds, am I right folks? Those of you browsing Netflix for your fix of Search For Spock have likely noticed that the film has gone missing from the website’s instant streaming database. Netflix has confirmed that the film was removed, however not for the reason you might expect. It wasn’t due to contract expiration or any legal issues, but because of incorrectly translated subtitles. According to Netflix, the version that was available on the instant streaming service does not properly translate Klingon and Vulcan into English, and therefore must be taken down and fixed.

Instead of looking at one of the previous versions of Search for Spock, apparently Netflix will be hand-translating the subtitles themselves, proving the company’s passion for over-complicating everything. On the other hand, they believe that the project can be done in about a week, after which the movie will appear once again. Kudos to them for trying, even if they are out of their Vulcan minds.
