Way cool, and coming back this September in honor of it’s 40th anniversary, a most underrated movie, Sept 15 and 18 are the only 2 days that it shows. Good movies are hard to find, here’s one. GO!….”Live Long and Prosper” MK 2019 Orson Wells is the voice, dig it!

0:28 That shot of the deflector dish was clearly unfinished footage. Much more raw than the rest of the shots of the Enterprise.

[@colinmontgomery1956]

The DD did glow a dull orange prior to the ship leaving the solar system.

[@RoyaleNoir]

@@colinmontgomery1956 i believe its due to the warp engines being off

[@ahsenkhan5386]

thanks to you theres now two !

[@cosmicfish1000]

Had to jinx it.

[@jonathanswift2251]

I'm glad I didn't see this in a Dolby stereo theater as a 13-year-old during, I assume, the summer of 1979. My head would have exploded!

[@CitizenScribbler]

Is... Is that not the voice of Orson Welles? It must be- he's pretty distinctive.

[@CitizenScribbler]

Star Trek fans are so on point in getting info out there; as it only took me seconds to find the answer. That's Welles, all right.

[@kristianguillermo2795]

I know Im quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@zevbraylon5978]

@Kristian Guillermo Lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@trhansen3244]

Jeremy Pivens?

[@MellowCorn-xs8bn]

Yes it is

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

Despite the mixed reviews towards this film, this film kickstart a series of Star Trek films beginning with this one, which was 10 1/2 years after the original series ended.

[@trhansen3244]

Arrrrgh!

[@Solar_1011]

There was the animated series that ran from 1973-1974, so it’s closer to 5 years.

[@psifla99]

This was the only Trek movie, arguably, where the Enterprise and whatever they encountered felt bigger than the crew itself. When Nick Meyer came in he resurrected the more character-based drama the series had excelled at - our heroes were bigger than the tech, as that was where the best literate storytelling could be unearthed. It’s a question of preference, really - storytelling through larger-than-life visuals of the unknown, or storytelling through the richness of natural character conflict? (The latter of which this film touched upon all too briefly with the Kirk and Decker sparring.) I know I prefer Meyer’s approach, but again, it’s down to the viewer.

[@DrZacksCafe]

“…of a Robert Wise film.” So says narrator Orson Welles, whose film Citizen Kane was edited by Wise. Contrary to the posters below, this was really exciting to see in cinemas leading up to the premiere. After many false starts, this trailer said “it’s really happening and they’re all back.”

[@andysummersthxcinemaandmyc7748]

rose bud the motion picture

[@PhilipGuest]

I hadn't thought of the Welles/Wise connection. It's pretty ironic, as Robert Wise recut Welles' Magnificent Ambersons without his knowledge due to the studio's insistence.

[@williamharrington4975]

I wished I seen it at the theater as a Christmas present and graduation present back in 1979

[@samuelcarrasquillo4590]

The Human Adventure Is Just Beginning.

[@wreday720]

This trailer makes it feel like some serious shit is about to go down. It has this heavy atmosphere like 2001: Space Odyssey, but also horror filled sense of dread like Alien. It even feels like an art film, not something you'd see in a blockbuster but something deep and psychological that the Enterprise will have no chance against and have you thinking even after leaving the theatre. Unfortunately none of that happens, in fact barely anything happens but the movie is still pretty great.

[@andysummersthxcinemaandmyc7748]

1:44 sounds like the THX deep note only 1979 . THX the motion picture . coming this xmas to THXing the audience

[@pauljoyner7126]

I think 🤔 sttmp is 1 of the best sci-fi movies ever made. It floored me in the theater in 79 @ 8 y/o.

[@aaronjohnson4681]

yea, it does sound like the thx sound rush

[@monos70]

great trailer! lots of suspense!

[@lizardmanYTMND]

That Paramount logo on a black background looks snazzy af

[@Tertullian1971]

People insist that the first Star Trek movie flopped, but let's look at the numbers. It grossed 139 million dollars. The budget has been estimated between 26 and 44 million dollars, but either way, the film made a healthy profit. In fact, it was the most successful film with the original cast, and is still number one when adjusted for inflation.

[@purpletomatocinema]

I'm not gonna lie, that was kind of creepy.

[@jonathanswift2251]

you lie!

[@purefoldnz3070]

special guest star. Orson Wells as Unicron.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

I remember seeing the adds for this on TV when it was in the movie-theatres and for the life of me I can't understand why I didn't pester my Dad to see it (I was about seven when it came out).

[@pauljoyner7126]

Star Trek mixed w 2001 a space 🌌 Odyssey, u can't get better than that.

[@ForceMaximus84]

Great teaser. Studios, take note.

[@mattkylie6723]

I thought Kirk was an Admiral in this one!?

[@pferreira1983]

Only from Star Trek II forwards till IV.

[@pferreira1983]

@Chris Terry Really? Crap I guess I got that one wrong.

[@pferreira1983]

@Chris Terry You know I always thought he got promoted because he saved the Earth in this movie but nope, double checking the old Internet you are 100% correct. The more you know.

[@edgesdragon888]

He's an Admiral in this movie but he's addressed as Captain when he takes the Captain's chair.

[@nickb9718]

@Chris Terry He was an admiral in this, but took on the captain role after convincing the guys in charge of Starfleet to give him command of the Enterprise back for another 5 years. After that, Kirk gives command to Spock and returns to the command of an admiral only to get the command back halfway into 2.

[@gochem3013]

I assume this trailer was from January of 1979.

[@jerobriggs6861]

December.

[@EvanCWaters]

The movie came out in December. This would have been a teaser released in advance of the normal trailer- no idea when it would have been seen.

[@gochem3013]

@@jerobriggs6861 Not the movie! The Trailer!

[@psion01]

I think I'll recall seeing this trailer at a science fiction convention or Star Trek convention back in summer of 1979.

[@Milkdromida]

When trailers used to be worse than the film. Now trailers typically are better than the films themselves.

[@Captain_Sarcastic]

Extremely glad to see this, and I may have even seen it before the film came out, as I recall the phrase "The Human adventure", but this trailer is so lack luster. Just saying the names of the characters, no music, nothing of the plot, not really anything special effect wise. So uninspired. But it did sound like the THX sound at the end of the trailer. Was that just a coincidence, or is there a connection?

[@nealwhaley63]

A trailer trying to convey a sense of power for a showcase movie - and leaves the viewer asking “And?”

[@ou-rb2gv]

The least erotic conception movie ever.

[@perfectionbox]

slow trailer for a slow movie 🤣

[@wolfslair31]

what a boring trailer

[@greenmonsterprod]

Most likely, that's all the footage they had for the teaser trailer. The movie was notorious for running behind schedule, to the point where the print for the premiere was still wet from being developed when it arrived at the theater. Later trailers featured a little more footage.

[@willdecker4630]

@@greenmonsterprod Yes indeed your right, Almost no completed footage of any SFX shots at the point of when this trailer was made, Over a year spent on the SFX shots by the original team that produced just 30 seconds of footage, The director fired them straight after he had seen the "footage" they had done.

[@greenmonsterprod]

@@willdecker4630 That's when Douglas Trumbull and John Dykstra were brought in. In the end, the effects turned out very well, though they did a few CGI tweaks for the revised version years later.
