Star Trek – The Motion Picture: The Director’s Cut
Amazon.com
Back when the first Star Trek feature was released in December 1979, the Trek franchise was still relatively modest, consisting of the original TV series, an animated cartoon series from 1973-74, and a burgeoning fan network around the world. Series creator Gene Roddenberry had conceived a second TV series, but after the success of Star Wars the project was upgraded into this lavish feature film, which reunited the original series cast aboard a beautifully redesigned starsh… More >>

Why does Star Trek even exist? Many people claim it as a life, but if you need this tripe for a life, you don’t really deserve whatever satisfaction you get from watching movies this bad. This movie never goes anywhere. The approximate running time feels about 5 days. There are only interminable plot machinations intermingled with simple special effects. Melies could have done better with the effects. Even for people like Trekkies, this movie is a stretch. I say that even with an incredibly low regard for Trekkies. This movie has taken hours of my life that I can never have back. For that I say, damn you and your girdle Shatner.

This is the WORST Star Trek movie EVER made. Don’t waste your time or money on this!

This movie sank like the Titanic. The first 50 minutes were good. Then you start saying to yourself, “What am I doing in front of the TV?” The movie spent too much time inside the alien (V’Ger): It spent about 80 minutes in the alien. The problem was that they had nothing to do in that time segment.
When they tried to pull two people from the transporter (including the new science officer). When they said the people were going into final form, or something like that, you say, “Oh, wow. That’s nice.”
So basically, I don’t think it was a good first movie.

I remember the film moving slow, but I was almost in a coma by the end. There was just not enough of story to warrant two hours for this film. So, we see long static shots of the Enterprise and space that do not move the story.
The acting was even worse. Part of the reason this film dragged so much is that the director and the actor’s did not build the tension of their impending doom. It is hard to get caught up in the chance of them all dying when the actors are just like it’s any other day at the office.
Don’t get me wrong. I love most of the other Star Trek movies, but this one is just a major dissapointment.
