I have been watching Star Trek and after going through the original series, the animated series and season 1 of the next generation, i thought i should watch one of the movies!

I really had to fight my way through the motion picture. The pace was so slow and much of it mostly showed characters staring at something or someone. It was great to see the characters again though even though they had aged more that i had expected.

    I feel like the only person who loves this movie. Its slow pacing allowed the weirdness of the mystery build and have time for bad theories to build before laying out what’s actually happening.

      Love TMP. I like a film that takes its time and builds a mood.

      I’ll also never get tired of loving beauty shots of the gorgeous 1701 refit.

    There’s a reason a lot of people call it “the Motionless Picture.”

    The director’s cut fixes the pacing a little despite adding footage.

    I was a little kid when this came out.

    But I still remember the scene with the space walk and the sense of awe I felt.

    As an adult, it doesn’t hit the same, but holy hell did it stick in me.

      The poster reminds me of the Tron arcade game level where you blast the MCP column of light. Needs Ilia standing in the middle holding a disc above her head.

    I always felt like it wanted to be 2001: a Space Odyssey. Watch it as an art piece more than a movie.

    Love the poster, but not the “no comparison” tagline. Is this the original tag?

      I believe it is, yes. I think it’s a dig at Star Wars considering Empire came out the same year.

      I am not sure. I did a quick search and have found original posters with and without the tag line

    Nothing a little Wrath of Khan pallette cleanser can’t fix.

    Woke propaganda

    Edit: it’s a joke, because of the rainbow. Jesus. Trekkies are touchier than Republicans.

      They’re not touchy.

      They’re cautious, because that phrase is often used unironically and they don’t tolerate that shit here.

      And good for them.

        Touchy about being touchy. So meta. 🤣
