Review of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) by Rox22 — 22 Sep 2013

To be fair, for its time, it wasn't that bad. It was a big step up from the original series in almost every regard, writing, effects, "acting" and overall plot. But, it was far too slow paced that almost all the magic gets sucked away while you are waiting for something interesting to happen.

Overall:

I give it credit for what it is: the first of many and paving the way for the rest of the franchise to follow. The movie might have sucked a little, but at least it stood for something.
