The first Trek film truly feels like an epic.

Very cool look at what's going on behind the scenes with William Shatner.

Nice to hear Shatner giving credit where it's due. Star Trek: The Motion Picture might not feel like Star Trek to some fans of the original series, but it's the first Star Trek story that I got to see, start to finish, and it blew my young mind away. I was ten years old, and fresh off Star Wars, but by then I'd also seen the re-release of 2001: a Space Odyssey, and The Motion Picture was exactly the kind of science fiction I wanted to see more of, more about ideas and less about action.

[@Ianthe22]

okay, i know that it isn't a mathemathics competition, But how does he come from u lose one hour a day to 7-8 days you lose a day????

[@TheVickistokes]

he obviously is referring to a working day not a 24 hr day - average working day is 8 hours

[@MrBiggles53]

I thought this was going to be Captain Kirk on Laura Palmer’s Dad. Sigh. Turns out there are two of them. 🫤

Unfortunately though quite a few things went wrong with Star Trek V.

[@RetiredVet2020]

Wasn’t his fault. ParaMount raped his budget which weakened his script

[@jakebond2294]

Yea, and as Michael says, all beyond Shats control.
