    That was more …
    That was more emotional than I expected it to be.
    Enterprise NCC 1701, was and still is the only true Enterprise.

    @Pahjx And I always fell asleep while watching 2001

  6. Pahjx says:

    hahaha! I agree …
    hahaha! I agree with you darkspawn316, it was a little slow paced. I think they were just trying to copy 2001: A Space Odissy.

    SHHHHH! Don’t tell …
    SHHHHH! Don’t tell the Romulans, dammit! Next thing we’ll know, we’ve got half of their fleet knocking on our doorstep!

    Ah the …
    @arabbint

    Ah the Enterprise..

    As graceful as a pure-white swan on a pristine, tranquil lake, in the morning mist.

    And underneath it all, the fire-power to blow any Klingon Bird of Prey or Romulan Warbird out of the water!

    @darkspawn316

    Yeah, thats how movies were made 30 years ago. For Star Treks first time on the big screen, its a good film. The next Star Trek films contribute to the first film: they also contain the visuals and Enterprise Refit, but have additional action and storylines you may find more to your liking!

  10. darkspawn316 says:

    Personally, I think …
    Personally, I think this movie should’ve been called “Star Trek: The Slow Motion Picture.” The visuals were great, and the Enterprise Refit is gorgeous, but the pacing was too slow, for my taste.

  11. CopyboyVideo says:

    Yes – Jerry …
    Yes – Jerry Goldsmith did the score for this movie. His theme was adapted for the TV show.

  12. cottonwhiskersuk says:

    With all that …
    With all that padding, it’s a wonder they even found the time to have an adventure.

  13. cottonwhiskersuk says:

    1:59 to 2:02 Is …
    1:59 to 2:02 Is that a slowed-down rendition of TNG I can hear, eight years before TNG was first aired?

    isn`t she beautiful …
    isn`t she beautiful!!!!!!!! :)

  15. BondFreek says:

    You don’t believe …
    You don’t believe me then listen to the Directors commentary on your DVD. He said it there and in interviews in the year 1982.

    PS. the space man never waved in Star Trek The Motion Picture. I know because I have every version ever made.

  16. spacecowboy5000 says:

    Actually, when this …
    Actually, when this movie came out millions of fans felt the same. Most said it was cold, that the characters were two dimensional and distant. After waiting 12 years they felt fans deserved better.

  17. talzara says:

    No, the shots were …
    No, the shots were reused in Star Trek II. They had a *very* limited effects budget. They could not afford to reshoot existing footage even if they wanted to.

    Take another look. The spacesuited guy is there in Star Trek II. He’s waving at the ship. The first few seconds, with the flip, were cut out.

    This scene …
    This scene represents the heart of Trek.

  19. killamonkey says:

    The past 9 star …
    The past 9 star trek movies have been doing that.

  20. Hyro says:

    This movie was …
    This movie was trying to echo 2001: A Space Odyssey. The new movie is trying to echo Star Wars.

  21. killamonkey says:

    really? I mean, I …
    really? I mean, I thought…well, let’s just say we have very different opinions.

  22. BondFreek says:

    @lears82, Then Kirk …
    @lears82, Then Kirk would not been able to see her. This is Scotty giving his former Captain a treat.

  23. BondFreek says:

    @TRUMPER007 True …
    @TRUMPER007 True but, after seeing the final cut in 1979 The execs at Paramont hated the movie. They thought it would make a little profit not the hit it was. PS the movie was released on December 11, 1979.

  24. lears82 says:

    why didnt they just …
    why didnt they just fly in the back way???

  25. TRUMPER007 says:

    Thanks – I always …
    Thanks – I always thought the scenes were the the same, just edited. When the box-office went beserk in 1979/80 I am pretty sure the Paramont execs knew there would be a sequel!
