Reviews

teodorodontosaurus There was simply not enough material for a full-length movie; it would have been a very good episode. Damn, they could have added just a few ideas, changed the plot structure a little bit and shortened the movie with 30-40 minutes... it had so much potential! Being too slow-paced is not the real problem; the plot was simply too thin for such a long movie. So, the movie is not thrilling, nor dramatic or introspective (although it tends to be)... there is an initial spark of mystery, followed by a tone of inconsistent and uninteresting scenes; but it has a very interesting conclusion. I don't know if this idea has been used before, but I liked it very much! So the movie had a redeeming conclusion, but did I really need to spend more than 2 hours for that?

nonstopmaximum Below average acting (probably from everyones experience with the animated series) and waaaaaay too much dialogue. The strange plot surrounding a massive vessel called the intruder doesn't help either. This has the distinction of being one of the most boring movies ever made.

Joseph Barker Greetings Fans everywhere, Now if some of you watch Linkara's Atop the 4thwall Reviews, Then you'd know that he is a Star Trek Fan, Hens where we are today, This is a Review of the very first Movie from the Franchise, This is Star Trek the motion picture, Released back on December 7 in 1979 (Same year as Ridley Scott's Alien movie), For those who don't know Star Trek is a very interesting Scy-fy Seires from the Original Seires up to the Next Generation, D.S.9 and Voyager and for for some reason the Original show also had an Animated Series as well, Now there are a couple of Prequel Shows like Enterprise and Discovery, those including the Reboot movies that take place in an alternate time-line, But I'll get to them in another point in time, From what I heard on the Web this movie was... not the most successful on the ten original movies which we can say is the Stardate Collection from the six original series movies to the four Next Generation movies, I'll get to them in the Order it is in future Reviews... one sec, Hay Linkara, Didn't you do a review on the Comic Adaptation of this movie? Linkara: Yeah, Why? JWB: Just asking.I would talk about the cast here but that would only make my Review to long but you and always check out my full version on my Review Page on facebook (JWB's Reviews)After watching this from my Stardate collection on Blu-Ray as a 50th Annaversary, This was my response after watching it... WHAT THE GARBAGE WAS THIS MOVIE?! This was a mess and even though the cast where great at there roles like in the 1966 series, But sure the costumes didn't match what was shown in the show and the story was really convoluted but what really let's it down was its lack of action and over-reliance on special effects. no wonder it got mixed reviews from critics, But it was fortunate enough to get $139 million at the box office worldwide, But falling short of studio expectations but enough for Paramount to propose a cheaper sequel. So yeah Not the best way to start off a Movie series, but they got better later on as we face the Wrath of Khan!

Eric Stevenson In a weird way, I kind of recommend this movie. It's kind of weird how the last "Star Trek" movie I watch (well before the new ones come out) happens to be the first. It really is interesting to see where such a long running sci-fi movie franchise began. I actually really do like the appearance of the film. Already it looks like a step up from the TV show. Granted, I've never seen a full episode of that. For me, it really did seem like a long episode of the show. As I said in my "Doctor Who" review, that's not really a good thing.This is the longest "Star Trek" movie ever made or at least it's tied with "Star Trek: Into Darkness" a far superior movie. This film suffers from lingering shots of space that are pointless. It's irritating with such a long movie. Interestingly enough, in a certain way it did work a bit. It made the movie really leisurely to watch. I mean, it's still boring, but it was something you could take your time with. The visual effects really do hold up. The story itself is okay, with the characters journeying to stop an anomaly from reaching Earth. It's pretty much a mediocre movie, but it's still interesting given how significant it is as a film. **1/2
