The musical score is timeless but the movie itself is very 70s and way to slow paced for the modern ADHD squirty cheese brained populace.
Motion picture vs khan is kind of like escape new york vs LA. They are examples of 2 different decades.

1 > 6 > 2 > 8 > 4. The rest of the movies are bad and I don't care what order you put them in.
>way to slow paced for the modern ADHD squirty cheese brained populace
Also true. I heard a 40+ year old man say it was too slow and he played games on his phone during it, as if that was a criticism of the movie rather than himself.

To be fair, you need to have a fairly high IQ to appreciate the Motion Picture.
Bentley Bailey
Man this film is fucking based.
Oliver Jenkins
It's a boring collection of "LOOK! WE HAVE MONEY NOW!" Glory shots of the Enterprise.
>modern ADHD squirty cheese brained populace.
>different decades.
It came out in 79 you retard. They had Jaws in 75, Star Wars in 77, Alien (earlier in)79, Rocky in 76, Rocky Horror in 75. Don't act like it's painfully slow because it's "a different decade", It was slow even then and critics said as much. And don't give me this Escape from NY/LA comparison Bullshit. NY came out in 1981, LA in 1996 so. literally one and a half decades later. Motion Picture came out in 79, Khan came out in 82. a mere 3 years later. This is the most disengenious comment I have ever seen in this regard. You wouldn't take "The Matrix (1999)" and "The Matrix Reloaded (2003)" and say the issue is that it's "2 different decades". No. One was clearly better than the other.
>The rest of the movies are bad
I mean, they're all kinda bad, and you're generally better off regarding them as non-canon for your sanity. I will say tho that 13 (Beyond) was actually pretty decent. Sure it still had it's flaws, but blasting music at aliens to destroy their ships is pretty trek.
Grayson Thomas
To clarify in case anyone misunderstands. I'm not saying Beyond is better than the other trek movies, I'm not THAT contrarian. But I do think it was pretty entertaining, had less BS than the JJs, and doesn't deserve to be dismissed out of hand like the JJ treks.
Jordan Bailey
People who say that nothing happens in this movie are certified brainlets. The character development and themes are subtle but they're well-done and satisfying, and it's mind-boggling to think that there was a time when studios had the balls to not give fans exactly what they wanted up-front.

i dont think you know very much about movies.
the motion picture is very much a early 70s style production. its slow paced with little action and a lot of scene setting.
moving into the 80s you see the opposite, a rise in over the top action and less focus on the actual cinematography
Alien is absolute 70s, its very slow and all about the scene composition/score not the action.
Khan is transitioning into the 80s action boom.
Zachary Fisher
Syd Mead designing the interior of V'ger (his first film work) really gave the movie a tinge of sc-fi horror, the Enterprise flying through the creepy interior was kino.
Josiah Edwards
Adrian Barnes
The point was, that even in the 70s before TMP, there were faster paced movies and TMP was actually one of the slower ones at the very end of the 70s.
James Moore
I don't quite understand how someone could like The Motion Picture and not like The Final Frontier. But then you put First Contact in there, so who knows.
Ryan Myers
Enterprise, what we got back ... didn't live long ... Fortunately...
Nicholas Moore
The plot was OK, but the movie was so dated that it doesn't hold up with age.

>computer graphics
Did we watch the same movie? I've actually heard that the Genesis simulation (from Wrath of Khan) was one of the first real uses of computer graphics in film, but The Motion Picture is really made up from miniatures, weird camera-work, and a lot of like overlaid glass plates.
Dominic Johnson
The Motion Picture is slow and cerebral, First Contact is fast paced action fun, The Final Frontier doesn't seem to know what it is: weird humour that falls flat, phaser fights on horseback, a 60 year old woman doing a fan dance, weird religious themes, a mind control coup. It's just all over the place and doesn't sit right.
>> Bald woman, how edgy
What the fuck does that mean? She was an alien
They re-did a lot of the effects of The Motion Picture with CGI for the DVD release, only the VHS and Laserdisc versions have the original theatrical graphics
Kevin King
Keep in mind that a lot of my opinion is based on remembering when the movie came out. There was, of course, the trek fans (myself included) who were happy to eat up any shit they wanted to give us because it WAS trek, but in the larger world (popular media of the time), the whole story being pushed was about a woman being bald.
The graphics (in particular the computer screens being used by the crew members) was high tech by the standards of the day, but were useless in terms of utility, and comical in terms of comparison to how the future really was.
It's like (oh what was that movie, I can't remember) that was about the "internet" when it was still unknown, and the users were deep in this 3d world with useless shit flying around them serving no purpose.
In other words... while the graphics in TMP may have played in the sticks, to anyone who deep in computer culture of the time, it was kind of a joke.
Henry Evans
I don’t understand the hate for the Final Frontier. I recently saw all the original Trek movies for the first time and I thought it was kino. “What does God want with a starship?” just seems like a line straight out of the original series. Motion Picture also felt close to a TOS episode, but lacking in charm
Jaxson Watson
>The Final Frontier doesn't seem to know what it is
The wacky humor almost feels like they were compensating for how much the movie was about Kirk, Bones, and Spock, and (as was a problem with the show, too) they thought, well what are Uhura and Scotty going to do? Why are they even in this movie? That said, the scene where Sybok confronts Kirk, Bones, and Spock on the observation deck ("I need my pain!") is probably the best scene in any Star Trek movie ever.
I dunno, I guess I like The Final Frontier partly because it's the one time they seriously address how weird it is for them to run into God once a year ("Squire of Gothos," "Who Mourns for Adonais?" "Charlie X," and maybe "Plato's Stepchildren" to a lesser extent, and I think "The Encounter at Farpoint" had happened by then) without that having much of an impact on them or the Federation. So yes, it's a very strange movie, but like The Motion Picture, it's a very interesting one.

>mfw the ending almost had the 3 Klingon Ships from the beginning reappear with the Enterprise and their would have been a space battle.
