Why do so many hate this? I would say it is actually my third or fourth favorite Star Trek movie

It really isn't bad at all. The effects are impressive, especially the miniatures. The only thing that holds it back is its atrocious aesthetic (that and the fact that its plot is recycled from the NOMAD episode).

People like to complain that it's slow and boring, but other than a few minutes of gratuitous ship exterior shots, it's not hard to watch if you're not mentally deficient.

>It's the best Star Trek movie

Agreed.

the speed at which nothing happens

no people do hate it
>But it was the last Star Trek movie not to be full of drama like everything latter, making it the last true Star Trek episode.

This is correct when they were originally going to make a Star Trek Phase II series Decker and Aliya would have been new main characters
Their backstory and tension were grafted over to TNG

Star Trek is an action based series you are deluded yourself if you think otherwise
It drones on and on and on, it has endless slow panning shots of the ship

its more than a few minutes, you could honestly cut it down to 90 minutes and you wouldn't notice

The movies after are basically action-adventure movies.

A bunch of them are good but they just don't go for the sci-fi angle Motion Picture does at all.

just like the tv series

>trying too hard to be like 2001
You guys know it had the same effects director right

Did the 7th Heaven guy rape any children on the set

It was pretentious.
Star Trek V is the best one.

My feelings exactly. I was one of those kids who lost my shit when I heard they were making a movie, and after the initial thrill it quickly became b-o-r-i-n-g. Cool Enterprise shots, though.

This. It really proved how many plebs there are out there.

Spock was really weird in it. I don't know what Leonard Nimoy was going for in this one, but he bungled the character badly.

Based. is right tho.

I bet you loved THX 1138 too

He was basically transforming the character. Spock as he's most widely remembered only exists because of how TMP changed him.

whatever you say satan

In real life, he's a child molester.

Yeah, I know. Growing up on 7th Heaven feels really weird now. That being said, he was by far the cutest person on Trek until nu-Spock.

It's hands down my favourite Star Trek movie. Action plebs can fuck off, this movie is stunning both visually and through its score. The only gripe I have is that the name Motion Picture is really false advertising.

My experience with Star Trek is limited to the movies, but I have always found it utterly boring. Is there any way to appreciate it if you didn't grow up American alongside the series?

which star trek movies did you watch?

Most of the star trek movies are godawful. 2-4 and 6 are fucking awesome. 5 is a mix between the pretty visuals and shatner sucking himself off.

All of them during a tv marathon I guess : 6 with the original crew, 4 with Picard's crew. The only one I kinda liked was the one with Khan. I really tried to get into it but I suppose I'm not made for that licence.

most people would say that 2 was the best one, yeah. but 3, 4 and first contact are pretty well liked too. the series are pretty different but if the "good" ones didn't do much for you then it's probably not for you

TAR GET TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
ASSSSS TERRRR OID

>half the movie is long shots of the enterprise

The reason for that was the original FX company was fired 9 months before the movie was going to come out, and they could not move that date back. Almost all of the FX had to be done in 9 months, the only FX that had been completed was the wormhole sequence, so they had to work on the movie literally right up to the day before the opening of the movie, and the director, Bob Wise, had literally no time to edited the shots of the Enterprise down in the movie, because the FX was the last thing to get finished, which is why there is so much scenes of the models and the effects. Plus the model of the Enterprise was huge and cost 250k to make, which was an insane amount to build a movie model for, so the wanted to use the Enterprise model as much as they could in the movie since they paid so much for it.

Here is the original model used in ST 1-6 being sold at Christies.

Jeff Bezos bought the model and has it on display at the headquarters of his space company, Blue Origin.

Attached: Blue Origin - Lobby - 01.jpg (1024x768, 248K)

Very good FX in the end though. Using crazy periscope camera lenses to get in the valleys of models and shit. Running fulltime film projectors to give actual video screens in scenes (that had to be dubbed over because projectors are loud). It had way too much budget and they pissed it away making a very high tech FX movie because it was late 70s and thats what people did post-starwars.

>Jeff Bezos bought the model
Bezos could buy the real one

What was great about Trumbull and his FX was they used black mattes instead of green screeens so they didnt have to worry about green reflecting onto the model, hence ST TMP Enterprise is the shinyest pearlescent model ever, and they painted over it for ST II and beyond a more dull color...

It's slowly paced, but it's a deliberate kind of slowness. They really expected people to be wowed by the special effects, but in their defense, they are fucking stellar.

I used to dislike this movie as a kid because, obviously, it was kind of boring, but as an adult I really appreciate it. I watched it several months ago in 1080p, and the special effects still hold up wonderfully. To say that this movie hit theaters in the same timeframe as Star Wars and Superman, it makes the effects in those movies look like a joke. This movie really embodies the idea of a sci-fi, and feels starkly different from the soft sci-fi that Star Wars was, and I very much love it for that. The score is top notch, and the plot is solid, even if it feels a bit like the plot to a regular episode stretched out a bit too long. The character drama between Kirk, Spock and McCoy is very well done, the scene with them meeting again for the first time in years is wonderfully written and acted. It effortlessly portrays three characters who are close friends, yet slightly alienated from each other. There are tons of great, subtle character moments between the three, throughout the movie.

Best way to watch this movie is with a friend or two that are also Trekkies, that way you can talk about shit during all the downtime. It's not as good as II or IV, but its' easily the equal of III and better than V.

It's such an anti-starwars too. They fire what, one shot in the whole movie and it's at a rock. This was some big brain shit that literally only G-Rod in almost exactly 1980 could have gotten away with.

So are there any plans in motion to make a new star trek movie or is it dead?

THX is great so

It's dead, Jim.

>underrated
Up there with khan, nobody's ever underrated it.

I usually see 3 and 4 ranked up there with Khan.

That's Yea Forums meming.

If there's an underrated one, it's 3

1) Kino story that is only overshadowed by the fact that it's more Trek 2.5 than a completely separate story

2) Responsible for parts of Trek remained iconic for long into the future - space dock, Excelsior, Klingon honor, even that dumpy freighter ship that TNG used a gazillion times

3) Escape from space dock sequence owns. They made a ship slowly reversing a great thing

4) Villain might not be Khan tier but for an original he's good

5) Movie climaxes with Kirk in a pink shirt fist fighting on an exploding planet

Only disappointing thing about 3 is replacement Saavik sucks compared to the original one

Yeah 3's underrated but it's mostly cause that fucking son guy. Fuck him, he was awful. Everyone's glad he died, -1 point for not being slower and more painful. Christopher Lloyd + dog was great

Found the pleb actionbabby

did it seem weird how there was a lot of this "weird mistake happened" with special effects in the movie? Transporter fuckup, wormhole fuckup, communication beam fuckup. It did not really add anything to the story other than kill 5 minutes with a weird sequence.

Only reason why Star Trek was successful was TV producers wanted it to be a space western and ditched Roddenberry’s commie utopia shit.

But Roddenberry had full control of the first movie and he brought it all back and it’s a boring ass movie. Just like the first seasons of Next Generation before he died

Nah all of TNG was that weird half roddenberry style and it worked fine. It never reached anything like a TOS western. After DS9 started though they were just doing movie pastiche episodes through all of VOY.

It subverted expectations, but in a good way. Everyone was rabid to see the return of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy like old times, but they were instead greeted with flawed, unsure characters and broken relationships that are only mended at the very end when the experience of helping Vger rejuvenates them. Unfortunately the audience and critics didn't seem to realize that was the point and took it as a negative. The character development is subtle but it's there, and well done.

you realize Shatner comes here

It's hard sci fi which didn't fit the fun romp most of the show was. And even now it is jarring because the other movies ranged from ship fights to comedy to detective films. TOS never did hard sci fi again.

I like it a lot even if it is about 30 minutes too long for what it has going on. But I also like 5 a lot so nobody takes me seriously.

how did you clip the last frames out?
