Summary: A bit long, but a classic for all Trekers
Review: Those of you who aren't BIG Star Trek fans may want to see ST:2 or 4, and then come back to this one. But for all those people that ARE big fans, like me, this is a classic and quite possibly the best. None of the other films seem to achieve the Star Trek feel the original series had quite as well as this one did. Some scenes do last a bit to long,though, and so the film suffers a bit from slight bordeom. But it has one of the best developed plots of all of the Trek films so far. The special effects and the music are brilliant! If you want to by the soundtrack, it has just been re-released. If you watch Star Trek ocasanally, this is about a three star film. But Like I said, a hard core Treker will love it. So I think it is well deserving of four stars.

Summary: So-so movie
Review: It's good to see the Star Trek characters, again. But this movie is WAY too long. Skip this one and see The Wrath of Khan instead!

Summary: Only for diehard star trek fans.
Review: It is amazing that this movie was the biggest movie of 1979. It is not very good and very confusing. Possibly the worst in the long series.

Summary: Really good, not as bad as people say it is
Review: Robert Wise was selected to direct this terrific (though a little stiff) feature-legnth outing for the Starship Enterprise. Special effects are magnificent and the acting is first rate. Most trekkys will be delighted while some others may be bored shitless but I really enjoyed it.

Summary: It's the plot, the sub-plots, etc
Review: The magic of this film, the story, is not the terrible direction, the horrible lighting, but the depth of the story. The plot is simple, go to V'Ger before it obliterates Earth, but on the way, we meet up with the main crew. Why did Kirk steal command of the ship from Commander Decker and what problems did that cause? Doc McCoy was re-drafted into service and Spock re-joined but for what reason? Sure, STTMP borrowed from previous Star Trek episodes, but what made this movie good was the interaction of the crew, the sub-plots running all over the place. I urge people to begin to really watch this movie and see just how full it is. Then you will ignore some of the problems of this movie. By all means, the longer version is better, filling out details left out of the original movie.

Summary: It was an okay movie, but by no means the best.
Review: Star Trek: The Motion Picture was all dazzle and no substance. It lacked character development and warmth. It was visually stunning and technically facsinating. For a rainy day, watch the movie and guess how many times William Shatner's hair moves.

Summary: Not a good start for the films
Review: Someone, possibly the writer Harlan Ellison, possibly Steve my butcher, once called this The Motionless Picture. He was right. Terrible idea, terrible pacing, terrific special effects, and no fun watching Kirk and crew reunite. I can remember being about 13 when this movie came out, actually dozing off in the movie theater. Stick with Star Trek 2, 4, 6 and 8. All the even ones.

Summary: Good Story - Stiff Acting - Sophomoric Directing
Review: I like the story - i hated the acting: way too stiff and predictable. I was disappointed at Robert Wise's directing especially from a guy who gave us Clatu Barata Nicktu (The Day the Earth Stood Still). The whole thing betrays the characters of Kirk Spock McCoy from the original tv series. The series didn't take itself seriously nor were the characters arrogant and overly military-ish like they are in this movie. As a Star Trek piece though, I think the movie is worth viewing and does have somewhat of a fit with the star trek universe. It is not something that I'd see over and over again like "Wrath" "Voyage" and "Undiscovered" - they were superb pieces of science fiction and virtual visual smorgasbords with intricate and interesting plots and sub-plots - delicious star trek. "Contact" and "Insurrection" are just as good. The "Motion Picture" is okay but a meal I couldn't serve without copious amounts of Romulan Ale, if your get my drift. Live Long and Prosper

Summary: A DULL MOVIE FOR EVEN A STAR TREK FILM
Review: I thought STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE was too long and drawn out. I mean I liked seeing KIRK, MCCOY, and SPOCK and all the rest of the original series characters but I didn't get the whole VY'GER storyline and the action in this film takes too long to appear in the film. Anyway see STAR TREK II instead you'll like it a lot better.
