 | This movie is slow, slow, slow and very plotless, and yet every once in a while, I am drawn to watching it again. If you're a fan of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (and I am, big time!), then the special effects here are probably enough to keep you interested. Jerry Goldsmith's score is new, original and exciting (and later used for "The Next Generation").
Because this is not my favor TREK film, taping it off of HBO at a slow speed was good enough for me. I cannot comment on the DVD edition, although I've often found these director's editions to be a waste of space. There's a reason many of these lost scenes don't make it to the final print in the first place.
By the way, Scotty has been officially "beamed up". We'll miss him. Aye.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture isn't perfect. Sure, it has all the cast from the TV Show. Sure, there are action scenes (albeit a few). But, the first of the Trek movies isn't that good. Don't get me wrong. I think the cast did a pretty good job. It's the story that is boring. Not to mention that 10-minute blackness of music at the beginning..I found that boring. This movie has been a mixed bag for Trekkies.
This movie also stars Stephen Collins from "7th Heaven". |

| Star Trek: The Motion Picture was the beginning of a series of six films uniting the original cast. It was definitely a noble venture with the legendary Robert Wise at the helm. The film brought a certain intellectual treatment to the film which may have made it less appealing to the masses but certainly palatable for true Trek fans. The "cerebral" quality of the film and the ending made for a rather unique experience! I know generally it is considered the "slowest" of the six but special in that it brought back the original castmembers all of which looked great in the film! Odd enough..Nimoy's voice sounded deeper in this film than the others that followed as if he were trying to find his "legs" after being away from the character for so long...George Takei looked fit and healthy and so did Shatner! Actually Shatner looked thinner in this film than when he was in the last season of TOS. Persis Khambatta was so lovely in this film! I was saddened to hear that she died in the late 90's of a massive heart attack..She was so beautiful in this film and leaves a lasting legacy for future Trek devotees! I love watching this film for the dialogue and wonderful Jerry Goldsmith score! |

| Like the last review, I was also excited to find out that a trek movie was being made. I was 9 years old and had seen many reruns of the series. The movie was disappointing to me at that time because I didn't understand it, and wanted to see lasers and dog fights with ships and stuff. When trek II came out, which does have dog-fighting in it, I ased my old man to take me to it, but he didn't. Probably cuz II had no naked bald chic. lol. Anyway I see that trekI was sort of like 2001:a space odyssey. |
