Star Trek: The Motion Picture

This was my introduction to star trek and I never went back

Sept. 2024 Rewatch (Director's Edition):
Captures the majesty of space travel and the fear of the unknown like no other Trek film, especially through the visuals and Jerry Goldsmith's excellent score. I never bought into the Decker/Ilia relationship/situation (more in comments)

Respectfully, it's the definition of meh
The director could have told and made the audience feel everything that he wanted for the scenes if he spent half as much time on the long takes.
Funny enough spending all that time took me out if the scene, and the plot...it was okay

The visuals in this movie were honestly top notch for the time , in my humble opinion! Really the best part of the film for me.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the new characters…I didn’t dislike them, just didn’t like them!

The teleporter incident was wild and horrific…

Interesting idea, terribly executed. Idk if the Director's Cut is any better, but this movie drags like crazy.
