Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

[@joshyboy1983]

The theatrical cut had a HELL of a lot of pacing issues, but I still go back to this movie as background noise. Its my comfort movie.

[@InFltSvc]

As a young kid in the late 70’s and just seeing close in counters and Star Wars...I was amazed and could not wait for the next adventure of the future to come in all movies for us... while I loved them all and still do, I am saddened to see what has come to our way of living now in 2020

[@troyandrew6154]

What about moonraker? Or alien?

[@maxpaschke2297]

Your so lucky man! I wish I could have lived in same time period as you!

You got Dune now!

[@IanFindly-iv1nl]

I think THIS movie is just FABULOUS! . .. and always have! And I suspect that those who've called it "slow" or "booring" were probably just the kind of m@r@ns who crave ohhhhh guns, car chases, and explosions every minute throughout the entire duration of a movie. In fact, such people are the reasons we have all these big, dumb, action "blockbusters" with goons like Vin Diesel and The Rock and Schwarzenegar and so on.

[@joshuablume807]

Of this movie I just love the parts were McCoy comes onto the bridge doesn't say a word and then leaves

[@yootoober2009]

he must have forgotten his line, alzheimers...

[@mego73]

On the extended version, lines of his are put back in.

[@Banzai431]

Watching this movie again after watching "Star Trek continues" brings a tear to my eye. They did such a good job bridging the two.

[@keithbrown8490]

The music used for the trailer was John Williams's score for 1977's "Black Sunday".

[@ricardocantoral7672]

A great score for a very good movie !

[@aegisgfx]

Every action sequence in the entire movie is in this 2 minute trailer.

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

still doesn't spoil anything whatsoever lol

[@christianloepfe179]

The 2001 of the Star Trek Series. Huge Entertainment at the Movietheatre on a large Screen. After knowing them only from the small TV you just could not believe your Eyes, seeing the Crew and the Ship so huge.

[@anton1990]

The Motion Picture isn’t for everyone. Personally, I think it’s fantastic. I love the slow pace, and the mystery surrounding V’Ger. And the special effects are astonishing to this very day.

[@bozotheclown169]

jeeze no wonder fans were hyped for this movie. put yourself back in 1979 those FX look REAL (or as real as Star Wars or Close Encounters) they still look good now!. seeing Shatner, Nimoy and the crew back looking pretty much the same as in the series just abit different/older, the massive new Enterprise looking as real as a NASA shuttle, the new uniforms. the realistic sets with futuristic computer graphics. its like Star Trek but its REAL. and the intriguing premise of earth under threat from a vast intelligence (earth was never directly under threat in the series) with those trippy strange FX @1:51 ..and to top it all directed by Robert Wise (like a Spielberg before Spielberg).. no wonder fans were excited..

[@sigitbudi6755]

2:03 JUST FREAKING COOL

[@simonplatts7571]

I still believe it’s a masterpiece, it just needed tighter editing that wasn’t completed on time.

[@ZanyJIntPictures]

Boy these old trailers rock!!!!!❤❤❤

[@stevenmitchell2996]

The Motion Picture is the best Star Trek film followed by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.... I quite liked Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home aswell.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Same ranking over here ! TMP really feels like Trek on a grand scale.

[@289cobra9]

Star trek 6 also.

[@FrankOConnor]

It must be hard to be so correct in a world full of so much wrong. Much as Empire is a technically decent second place to Return of the Jedi's heartfelt content rich and conclusive superiority, Khan is a nice example of a small story told with Big Star Trek Toys, but Motion Picture is an epic, appropriate, technically brilliant spectacle with a satisfying twist that sets up: The best soundtrack, the concept of the Borg, baldness being beautiful for women as well as Sean Connery and the place setting for Patrick Stewart supernova chrome dome. = MP >> Khan >> everything, but I like the first Chris Pine reboot, not so much the Khan whiff, and definitely not Space Motocross.

[@koopanique]

The way the title appears at 2:00... The best title animation sequence of all Star Trek, to be sure

[@steveparker1580]

For months in advance, I planned to be in a theater for the premiere shoing.. I have never been as disappointed as I that day.. Fortunately, Star Trek II was on the horizon and would make everything better!

[@ZoolGatekeeper]

I understand yr disappointment and I only saw this on VHS at first.(you'd be surprised that I had a similar reaction to ET in a cinema..). but I still wanted to see it on a big screen, cause the optical effect are gorgeous and this was a movie spectacle indeed.. One really beutiful shot is at 1:48. You can do it better with a computer, but this bit looks REAL. It understands the generation that saw Nasa showing footage of space walks (really hard to fool those). AS for for the story, it's not a complete failure.. It had a good threath and a mystery.. AND, after all, it gave us a whole franchise of films ..

[@kaypee4704]

Let Ilia: Persis Khambatta...RIP... Terrific performance..♥️♥️

[@davidhalley937]

The end of this movie should the origin story of the Borg with Ailea being the first Queen and Decker as their King.

[@jamesthomas6476]

This movie is basically a special effects exhibition.

[@penoyer79]

Pretty obvious they were going to a 2001: A Space Odyssey vibe.

The Starship Enterprise's 5 Year Mission Is Over, But The Human Adventure Is Just Beginning. Star Trek The Motion Picture. 40 Years 1979-2019.

[@Martindyna]

Having just seen this again on tv in the UK I think it is fantastic piece of science fiction with brilliant special effects. The only slight disappointment is that it is based on an old episode of Star Trek.

[@lessomogyi1781]

P

[@artvankampen8993]

It’s just a bid budget remake of The Changeling. Boring but not bad. Tremendous wasted opportunity.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

The fully realized conception of Star Trek on the big screen.

[@jamesdayton5320]

I realize I am quite off topic but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online?

[@oscargordon5851]

@James Dayton try FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)

[@EvilDeadthe2nd]

I was never a big star trek fan but for a few days i watched this movie and i really like the atmosphere and everything. The next day i watched the wrath of khan. Also a good movie but to me the first one was better

[@therealautisticdj2]

I saw this is 4K in cinema in 2022. And I am not a big fan of Star Trek but it wa something I felt I needed to do. My experience: Yes, I stayed for the whole movie and yes it was enjoyable as it really felt I went back in time to 1979, the year this film was released and I must have been the youngest adult there as I am 25, which goes to show I guess not many young people would appreciate old shows and films, like I do.

[@kirbykok4544]

I like Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) Movie. Even though this movie has some Pre-Movie production problens, It Is not incredibly bad. You can still enjoy this movie If you pay attention to the story.

My biggest problem with this film is that the original cast almost to seem be intrusions in their own story. ST 1979 4/10 , ST 2 W OF K 10/10 ✝, ST 3 S FOR S 10/10 ✝, ST 4 TVH 8/10 , ST 5 TFF 10/10 ST 6 TUDC 10/10 🏮, STNG 7 GEN 7/10 , STNG 8 FC 3/10 , STNG INS 9/10 , STNG NEM 10/10 🥶.

A boring extension of "The Changeling". Roddenberry gave birth to STAR TREK, but he didn't make it fly like his fans of later installments did.

[@patriciacastrogomez8210]

De las peores de la saga

[@kendallrivers1119]

One of the worst Trek films that I can see why everyone hated it due to the lack of charm and humor of the original series, but without it we never would've gotten the masterpiece that is Wrath of Khan as well as Voyage Home and Undiscovered Country.

[@babyfir77]

Definitely not a fan of those unis!

[@wordman3624]

The worst Star Trek uniforms ever. Even the cast hated them.

[@mr.nobody6977]

Beside the original series. After watching all the Star Trek Original movies. I realize the movies are crappy. It all start out with the only ship in the area with skeletons crew.

[@Whalewraith]

Thet really weren't very good at trailers back then.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

Yes, they were.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Somehow they figured out how to do trailers in the 1980s, but then decided after that to reveal the whole movie in 3 minutes like _Ant-Man and the Wasp._

[@Whalewraith]

@@sandal_thong8631 one thing that cracks me up is attention spans are so short that they have to trailer the trailer these days.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Just look up what alternatives -Raspberry- Roddenberry threw out there!

[@r.michaelmclellan6286]

Lol it's a wonder people even went to the movies back then with all the crappy trailers 😅😅

[@jackhammer111]

I thought this was crap when it first came out and seeing it now is even worse. It's a credit to their acting ability that they could deliver some of those lines with a straight face. Corneier than Kellogs cornflakes.

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

The movie just turned 40 Heard it was an alright effort More along the lines of 2001: A Space Odyssey Cool ideas even provocative but it’s Super slow and the characters arent remotely developed

[@penoyer79]

it's def a 2001 call back.. mostly because they were trying so hard to differentiate themselves from Star Wars.
