Rob: I sent this link of your review to my friend Douglas Trumbull a year or so ago and he was absolutely delighted by your observations on the film. I know he was very excited by David Fien’s 4K Director’s edition, which we will be showing theatrically in my theatres (I own 50 theatre screens) in May. Thank you for helping to keep this masterpiece alive.

Just so refreshing to see a film that isn’t moving at 100mph. You have time to absorb what you’re seeing.

Ok, maybe a bit slow at times, but I like it.

I think of this movie as a surreal sci-fi art symphony... I rewatch it whenever I’m really sick or down and it makes me feel relaxed and renewed...

I feel this is the most Star Trek of all Star Trek movies. It shows the use of logic and imagination over violence as solutions to problems. The crew has weapons and the means of great destruction, but in this situation, they’re useless so they must rely on their intelligence and strategic thinking...

Star Trek the Motion Picture was the only time Star Trek felt like science fiction and not just Star Trek.

The Vger Concept blew my mind as a kid. One of the best scifi stories ever.

[octoberphoenix]

Superb score by Goldsmith, easily one of his best.

"Booring"? .. . depends WHAT you consider EXCITING in the first place. Now personally I happen to find ohhhh guns, stunts, car chases, crashes, and explosions pretty dull myself, so I don't miss THAT shit one bit when watching THIS film.

I am an avid Trekkie and I too feel this movie is super-underrated. It's artsy, smart, and the visuals are astounding. It feels very much like 2001 : A Space Odyssey and I think that was the feel they were going for. Great video.

I'm a big Star Trek fan and I love this film. Most of my favourite Trek is when they explore really original sci fi concepts

[rujv]

This thing isn't just science fiction: it's philosophy fiction as well. My favorite star trek film. So many moments, so many questions... Science fiction is about Man asking "am I alone, where did I come from, where am I going to, who/what am I?" To put this in the mind of a mechanism is just genius. The mere concept of mind for a mechanism is already mind blowing.

Bloody brilliant sci-fi movie. I wish they would do more cerebral Star Trek movies

[borismusic]

Absolutely agree. An amazing visual symphony and a truly intelligent, deep, emotional and advanced storyline. So finely tuned that it is in fact a poem.

[Methadonebunyip]

Absolutely agree 100% with everything you said.
I love this film.
Vger is an absolute force, seriously one of, if not the best, nemesis ever faced.
Great video, mate👍

"Ilia's Theme", aka the love theme from this movie, is possibly the most moving piece of Star Trek music ever. And its use as a prologue in the film (before the opening credits), to me, always denoted the passage of time between the Original Series and this film.

[Bangkokian]

Definitely one of the finest musical scores ever!

[SeanHowell]

Totally agreed. To this day, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" is the truest Trek there ever was...

[Emulous]

I used to play the soundtrack of this a lot. The V'Ger sequences are eerie, haunting, and... fascinating ;)

[johnran]

The part where Spock is laying on the hospital bed and gives his "is that all I am?" dialogue is possibly the best scene in the entirety of Star Trek and I think it packs a more emotional punch than his death scene in Wrath of Khan. It is fortunate we got such a bold Star Trek movie I just wish there was ONE MORE like it you know?

[marcodetter]

The Score and Sound Design and the Sfx are awesome.
