The dialog is mixed so low as to be drowned out by the music and the audio effects are deafening. T.J. Garland is credited (blamed?) as production sound mixer. Many of his other credits are as a boom operator. The visual effects are a mixed bag. Some are on a par with ST:TMP, others are reminiscent of very early Doctor Who. Early Doctor Who was constrained by the technology of the day, a handicap which doesn't apply to STFF.
Based on what I was able to piece together from the visuals and snippets of dialogue, some force from the future is threatening to destroy Earth and the Enterprise saves the day. Or something.
It's OK if you can forgive it some technological failings.
