Andy AldridgeI just watched Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Robert Wise, 1979) and rated it 4/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek%3A_The_Motion_Picture?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #StarTrek #TheMotionPicture #RobertWise #DouglasTrumbull #WilliamShatner #LeonardNimmoy
Tucker Teague@grange85 I don't think I've seen this film since it came out in theaters. I remember liking it a lot then but thinking it was also quite slow. I probably would rate it higher than a four but not by much.
@tuckerteague I liked it more than last time, and don't mind the pace so much, but it's never quite as good as i hope it will be!
Inaction FigureI’d give it 6/10, but part of that is remembering all of the excitement when it first came out.
It IS kind of slow compared to today’s movies, but in 1979, we needed that fly-around of the Enterprise.
Also, I’d say that today’s movies are too much “flash-and-explosions” and not enough world-building and storytelling.
@inaction_figure I rated it higher than last time. I don't really mind the pace, I love how they show off the models (I'm a big fan of pre-cgi effects), but the story and acting is a little hard to get past!
