Well, ignoring the others as someone else's vision (or lack thereof), in this movie, the Enterprise is in the process of being refit at home base, and V'Ger was making a direct beeline to Earth. The novel explains that she was the only Constitution-class ship to return from a five-year-mission relatively intact. And the Connies were Starfleet's workhorses at the time. She was the first to get all the state-of-the-art enhancements, and even though there was no time even for a shakedown cruise, she was the best bet at intercepting the intruder while it was still "out there." Kirk and Spock joining this mission were both happy accidents, which probably made the difference between the Earth being completely sterilized or the disaster being averted. You can build a huge fleet of all kinds of ships, but you don't build them to just hang around Earth; they all have jobs to do. And space is mind-bogglingly big.

There's a thing to be said about this specific movie though: It's downright impossible to tell who wrote the movie as it was finally shot - mainly because the movie was still *being* written while it was shot. Yes, the initial story treatment was by Alan Dean Foster, based on an idea by Gene Roddenberry, but it was then re-written into a TV script by Harold Livingston, and when they made it into a movie it was passed back to Gene Roddenberry whose close associates probably also had a hand in it and so on and so on...

I noticed this too. There were loads of things almost mentioned, yet Mike doesn't do it. Like there's no way Mike doesn't know that the probe scene they talk about at length, was filmed in two parts. The left side is one take, then the special effect of the probe in the middle, then the right side is filmed separately. Sometimes when the image moves the two sides don't match up. I think he's purposely holding back his true Trek power level here to let Jim have his say. When talking about the sexuality of the film, he'll know about the novelisation Roddenberry wrote. The one with the sex rooms and the Enterprise is like one big hippie free sex commune. Kirk's mother had a love instructor or how the Deltans mindwaves make people want to fuck them all the time.

It's a very acquired taste, and even then it's not one of my favourites. It came out at a time when Star Wars was all the rage and was being aped off by other sci-fi films and TV shows. TMP was clearly produced with 2001 in mind, and while the visuals are beautiful with an identifiable theme, it was never going to hold up to the former. I'd also argue that where the new Trek films sharply contrast with the TV series in one extreme, this goes in the opposite direction. It's really a meandering journey in to the heart of a titanic cloud entity, and whilst I enjoy it personally I can see why that would bore a lot of people as it did (and still sometimes does) me.

Maybe it was all the ST fans who were out that night, but there was a huge cheer when Kirk first appears stepping off the shuttle. It had definite flaws, but I also think it was the right movie at the right time.

I think one of the things people miss in Wrath of Khan, is that shouting "KHAN!" wasn't a Shatner bad acting moment. It was Shatner as Kirk pretending to ham it up to make Khan think he won. People just seem to miss the layers in acting that Shatner did for some reason. When Spock shouts "KHAN!" in Into Darkness, it's just a surface level bad acting moment of rage.
@AndorianBlues6 жыл бұрын
When Roberto Orci was interviewed on the Mission Log podcast they asked him about that moment and he literally didn't even realize that's what was happening in the original Wrath of Khan scene. He put that reference in Into Darkness without even understanding what it was about in the original movie, like it was just there as a meme reference. Just like the stuff with Kirk being a lady's man who's always banging green chicks, it's referencing pop culture's idea of Star Trek rather than Trek itself.

This film freaked me out as a kid. It felt so grown up, like the problems they were facing were tremendous, horrifying and yet really intriguing. I used to hide behind the couch when Spock attempted to mind meld with Vger. Compared to films of today where it's always one large villain out to take over/destroy the world, which is a concept that isn't so much frightening as it is routine, there's no mystery anymore. I'm not worried about the world being destroyed I'm just kind of enjoying the trip to defeat the baddie. I wish they made more films like this, where we don't understand the problem we're facing, where the "villains" motive doesn't make sense... that's what makes it horrifying and alien. How can we defeat a problem we don't understand? The mystery makes it something you want to watch.

For Mike: The way the Probe sequence was done, they first simply dragged a VERY bright light bar around a darkened set by a gaffer. The practical lighting only barely illuminated the actors in the shot by design. Then, at Doug Trumbull's facility, the light bar and the tech were digitally removed(if you look carefully at the top of the frame you can see the set bowing around the probe where it was removed), and Robert Swarthe did the animation effects which add in the swirly lights and also hide the blend where the practical lighting was removed. Yes, I am a Star Trek geek.

25:24 It's interesting to look at what they did with the old characters from the TV show (the main trio, Kirk, Spock and Bones) and how they went about reuniting them on-board the Enterprise. And then compare that to how Abrams and Johnson dealt with the return of Luke, Han and Leia in Star Wars Ep 7 and 8. In Star Trek TMP, they didn't go all out and have a corny scene where the old guys have a group hug and laugh while talking about old times, but they still did something satisfying enough (IMO). Whereas Ep7 and 8 pretty much shit the bed when it came to giving the audience a satisfying reunion.

The satisfying thing about TMP is it gives us the reunion that Trekkies had been waiting 10 years to see, but does it with the subtlety of old friends awkwardly reuniting. That's how Star Wars could've/should've done it too, nobody necessarily wants to have seen Leia/Luke/Han acting like they just stepped out of Return of the Jedi, it's decades later and we expect our characters to have changed just as Kirk/Spock/McCoy have here, but over the course of the movie we see them coming together and the bond between them being strengthened. By the final scenes Spock and Bones are back to riffing on each other and Kirk is excited about the next chapter. Its a great, satisfying arc even just within the continuity of this one movie. There is absolutely no reason the Star Wars sequels couldn't have pulled it off too.

First two minutes summarized it pretty much. The movie is the antithesis of what people expect a scifi movie to be. Rather than tons of explosions and fighting, its people trying to use deductive reasoning to stop a slow moving, yet infinitely powerful alien ship. Its a slow burn. And that's why I like it. Yet for how much people complain about this movie being slow, compare it to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Suddenly it looks like a fast paced adventure flick. That's not to say the film is without flaws. And it definitely feels VERY detached from the rest of Star Trek, in pretty much every way. Design, camerawork, music and etc. But on its own merits, its a good film. Unlike certain other Star Trek films made oh...let's say after the year 2000. And I don't care what anyone says. The real models used in the first six movies (and the ones in the original Star Wars trilogy) are infinitely better than any CGI ship.

Clarke could have written the script. It's also one of the earliest examples in film of the now-standard BDO (Big Dumb Object) science fiction trope (which Clarke helped to invent). For all of the film's weaknesses, I feel like it fully succeeds in making you feel AWE at the scale and majesty of V-ger. That's an emotion that I feel is completely lost now days in sci-fi, and it's a goddamn shame.

How many times does the crew of the Enterprise run into some sort of unknown alien that almost has the powers of a god? Or mind-controlling parasites. The reason why it may NOT seem like horror is that the overall theme and tone of the series is the determination and hope of cooperation.

There were some scenes that I thought took a long time but even as a kid I understood why they were showing us slow moving scenes of this gigantic alien space ship. They wanted the viewer to be in awe of this space ship and terrified of it. It was effective. You feel like the Enterprise is as significant as an ant that could be squashed at any moment.

Star Wars was exciting because it combined several genres into a sci-fi movie about good and bad. But Star Trek just resonated. Never thought it boring.

I remember seeing this movie as a kid and loving it even though I wasn't a huge ST fan. I thought a massive machine that was pondering the purpose for its own existence or even existence itself, was fascinating. The age-old question of knowledge vs wisdom was intriguing to me. And how Spock answered such a profound question with the simple gesture of holding Kirk's hand, was emotionally revelatory. Even at my young age, I was completely moved by that scene because it just brought everything home. How that bond of shared humanity is the reason why we're here. To have a place in each other's lives. And to love. Which was further illustrated by Decker and Ilia's love for one another. And their ultimate sacrifice to teach V-ger. How can this movie's theme not move you? It asks and answers the question so many of us ask ourselves. Why do I exist? I was shocked to learn years later that it was widely regarded as a boring, unsuccessful movie. So I have to say that I feel a bit proud for liking a more philosophical introspective theme as a kid when it went over the heads of most others, including adults, who were just bored with the concept despite its profundity.
