Review of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) by Maineutral R — 21 Jan 2014
The famous "Motionless Picture" isn't the big epic and action packed adventure that Star Trek fans were expecting. Instead, this is an abysmally paced, slow, boring movie with little excitement and lack of the Star Trek feeling that not even the original cast can deliver here.
Those shots of slow motion takes almost 50% of the total movie and the experience never pays off. Nevertheless, those shots are some great special effects, and the simple fact of having the cast from the TV series returning is a welcome detail, but these good details doesn't have a good story or action to back them up.
What this movie needs to learn is that Star Trek is not 2001: A Space Odyssey. A very boring movie.
