Why does everyone always say something about recapturing chemistry? WTF is wrong with you people? Nobody is or has ever tried it. It was rebooted to keep the characters we know instead of people like you complaining about another Star Trek show that ISN'T Kirk and Spock. I wish people like you would open your eyes to other possibilities out there. And to be honest, the Kelvin timeline cast has some pretty good chemistry

I think the original Motion Picture is getting a lot more respect now than it did during the release or this review. However, as a kid seeing it when it first came out, i remember how awestruck I was just to see the Enterprise and its crew on the big screen. I didn't even think it was unecessarily slow. My disappointments that I do remember as a kid was the terrible uniforms and no Federation vs Klingon battle.

I'm tired of all the Star Trek V hate. First off, the intro scene with Kirk climbing the mountain is some of the best cinematography in the series and the score is fantastic. Second, this is the only movie that captures the Kirk/Spock/Bones dynamic from the series. Every other film always has Kirk paired off while the odd man out is in the B plot. The Yosemite camp scenes are some of the best character scenes in the series. The plot feels very much like something you'd see in the show Sybok. People complain that Spock seemingly has a brother come out of nowhere, it's no worse than his magically having a black sister with a man name. And unlike Michael Burnam, Sybok is an interesting and unique villan that breaks the "Khan mold" we see recycled again and again in Trek. Plus, his acting is great. Speaking of acting. Kirk's "I need my pain" scene. Need I say more? While most of the humor is pretty bad, it's no worse than the post Endgam MCU crap you see nowadays. Overall, while it's obviously not the best in the series, it's far from the worst and doesn't deserve nearly the hate it gets. I'd argue that it even holds up better than Yhe Voyage Home which feels VERY much like a product of the 80s.

I agree 100%. I think the opening a scenes were great. The movie was let down by the special effects and the end scene when they “found god”. It would be interesting to see this film with new effects and a revamped ending, much like we got for TMP, which in my opinion is still the only TREK film that was cinematic band not just a 2 hour tv movie shown in theaters

I quite like slow-moving sci-fi with a mystery. It doesn't all have to be lasers and action. 2001 is an excellent example of this, and I always thought MP was going for that 2001 aesthetic. There are plenty of episodes, even in TOS, that are more cerebral (no, _not_ that one), and are surprisingly good. TNG had quite a few of these too. I think MP is an excellent film, and worthy of its part in Trek canon.
@estebanmorales6487 Жыл бұрын
Yes, especially if you only had watched TOS before, like everyone during the cinematic release. It keeps more of the space exploration ethos of TOS. Yes, it's a bit slow and ponderous, and I agree that doesn't have to be a bad thing, but coming out after Star Wars didn't do it any favours. I loved MP when it came out (yes, I'm THAT old) but most of my friends found it excruciating.

@@patrickhamilton6677 How long has it been since you actually watched the film? In its course, Kirk works out a midlife crisis in competition with the younger Decker, while Spock goes from his uttermost "Vulcan" (failing to even acknowledge simple greetings) to actually shedding tears for "his brother" Vger. Both character arcs are well centered in a rich unfolding story culminating in a well prepared reveal with implications bearing on the nature of consciousness itself (human and otherwise). Apart from its slow, meditative pace and lingering visual focus on the Enterprise, I don't recognize the film in your description at all.

Omg, I'd forgotten how terrible the set & costume design of the 1st Trek movie was. Beige, grey & white uniforms? Glad they abandoned that in the future films. I actually saw Star Trek The Original Motion Picture in theatres twice when it released. (My BF at the time was really into ST) I didn't think it was a terrible film at the time, it just felt too much like an episode from ST:OS that was padded. There had been a story about a computer programmed to compile knowledge already & IIRC, Spock did a mind meld with it & everything. Anyway, it wasn't awful, it was just kind of blah. Like the colors of their uniforms lol...very beige & grey. Original Trek isn't really about special fx & pewpew lazers, the drama/adventure came from the characters & how they interacted when faced with unique lifeforms/dangerous situations while trying not to break The Prime Directive & live up to the aspirational moral code of Star Fleet.

Star Trek IV was the luckiest mistake my father ever made. When Star Trek V came out in 1989 (I was nine years old) I desperately wanted to see it, but of course I had to wait until it was released on rental VHS the year later because I wasn't old enought to see it on the big screen. Why did I want to see it? I liked the poster. As a nine-year old, that's all the reason you need. So, one weekend in summe of 1990, my dad went to the VHS rental store, but Trek V was rented out, so instead he brought me Trek IV. I was dissapointed at first. But after the first time, I watched it like half a dozen times that weekend alone. The first episode of TOS I ever watched on TV (I was even younger then, but I still remember it, even thouth I learned much later which episode it was) was "The Lights of Zetar". The sequence with people changing the color of their faces freaked me out and horrified me so bad that I started to cry and ran to my mother. But ever since I had seen the Enterprise gliding majestically from left to right above a planet, I was hooked and always returned to Trek whenever I got the chance to watch it. But still I think in retrospect it was this movie that really got me into the franchise, because it was the first outing I watched at an age at which I was really able to comprehend what I saw. And what I saw was a great, funny, exciting movie featuring characters I knew and loved (although at the time I thought there was way too little Enterprise in it). And since the VHS version inculded a recap of Trek III before the actual movie, they spoiled that one for me in the process. :-) I wonder how things might have turned out, if Trek V hadn't been rented out that weekend. But, as a child, I might even have liked Trek V. ;-)

Glad you mentioned the length of Star Trek III, as that is my only issue with the film as an adult. At the time, I didn't notice. However, today it makes the film seem far too fast paced, and even though the crew has to steal the Enterprise, defeat the Klingons, and destroy the Enterprise it feels like everything happened in a matter of minutes and quite effortlessly. It needed either more for the crew to overcome, or some scenes of them dealing with the ramifications of their decisions. Also, the new sets looked incredibly cheap. The Klingon bridge was fine, though it was replaced in the next film, the Starfleet security office and the Excelsior bridge was as barebones as possible. The worst was Genesis, which was filmed on a soundstage and today feels like a television set. It makes me wonder how awesome it would have been to see the planet filmed on location, though that would probably have been very expensive.

Is it just me or does the narrator sound a bit like Nolan Gould? Yes I watched the credits. When I was 14, I saw Wrath in theater with my dad who was a well known, in his field, mechanical and electrical engineer for the govt and had never been interested in Sci-Fi and hardly watched TV except for news, college football, All In The Family, Lawrence Welk and the stocks channel. God knows I tried to get him to watch what Sci-Fi was on back then. So to see his reaction to the star ship battles, his first sci-fi movie on a huge screen with immersive surround audio, he literally pushed back in his seat and was in awe of the power of the ships, I could see the honest expression on his face with every photon and laser impact and he said what a waste of all that engineering and technology, all the effort that had to be undertaken, I hope if we ever become that advanced that wars would be non-existent. I knew the gears were spinning in his head trying to realize (reverse engineer) how ships like that could be a design possibility. I had never seen my dad react like that to anything. It was a very memorable moment in my childhood, aside from the one when he chased me around the backyard looking like the Skipper and Gilligan in that Jack and the Beanstalk dream scene episode. lol Good times....

12 million in 1982 was pretty standard blockbuster fare. Star Wars, Raiders, and E.T. were made for similar budgets of 10-11 each. The Motion Picture's budget of 44 million, adjusted for inflation would be... still cheaper than most of TODAY'S big block blockbusters. Which shows how of control film costs have gotten. You could make a graph of film budgets from the early 80s to now and it'd be a steady, steeply rising line that vastly outpaces any inflation.

Star Trek TMP was also the 1st movie to be released in... "Laser Disc". That medium itself failed, but paved the way for, CD/DVD markets some years later. Lots of folks just didnt see the need to purchase the equipment needed to play the format, on their regular pixilated, standard color TV's. The damn laser discs were the size of 10" LP records, and could be scratched just by breathing on them too long. Yes they had many new features, but the public never saw the need to buy them, just to watch them on grainy cathode ray sets. Instead the public got into the burgeoning Cable tv markets, Beta-Max, and VCR craze. After almost 15 years of that, CD/DVD emerged. Part of the reason folks got into that was the advancement in tv technology. Now everything is Digital HD. In a few years well probably get Holographic tv's.

The Motion Picture was released to movie theaters when I was 17. As the credits were rolling, I was very sad. Not only did a friend of mine fall asleep watching it, not only did they just redo an episode of the series called, "The Changeling," but also it was so bad that I thought, "they will never make another." It seemed that, instead of Star Trek, they tried to make another, "2001: A Space Odyssey." As Leonard Nimoy said in, "Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek Memories," which can be found on YT, the cast did not dfeel they were playing their characters. Since this movie was released, the only way I have been able to enjoy it is by putting on the director's cut and listening to the commentary as the movie runs. Of course, I am glad I was wrong and that they made more Trek movies (seems this movie made money from overseas sales and enough to warrant a sequel), but this one is not ne I will wilingly watch again.. BTW, if I remeber right, the uniforms, which look like pajamas, were credited in the film as being designed by Isaac Asimov.

I enjoyed “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” very much! It ‘s a story that requires attention and thought. No doubt the first version was flawed by the rush to get it out by Christmas 1979. But the recent remastering has made for a great improvement. Under Robert Wise’s smooth, polished direction, it had a genuinely epic feel. (Something only Leonard Nimoy came close to matching; III and IV were excellent.) As for the supporting cast, they should have been honoured to be in a big-screen film directed by someone of the stature of Wise. They were not terribly distinguished outside of “Star Trek.” Without doubt, Jerry Fielding’s score stood far above James Horner’s. The best part of “Trek II” was Ricardo Montalban. Myself, I could have done without the soap opera subplot featuring Kirk’s long-lost love and the son he never knew. (Yawn!) And those new uniforms were better suited to hotel doormen than Starfleet!

After having read that Steven Collins admitted to being a peodophile I can’t view his character the same again. I still think the motion picture was the strongest TOS film though.

I dunno why, but I clearly remember being convinced as a kid that there was another movie around the Voyage Home/Final Frontier/Undiscovered Country era that was made (I know there isn't) and now when I look at the line up of classic cast movies my lizard brain is always disappointed to see this non-existent movie not there. Low key Mandela Effect?
