Additional InformationIn STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, the original crew of the Starship Enterprise from the campy 1960s TV show is reunited in this dramatic, full-length science fiction epic. Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner), formerly a captain, is called upon to collect his old crewmates in order to save humanity from a giant, hostile alien vessel steadily approaching Earth and destroying everything in its path. The complex alien life-forms apparently possess such an advanced intelligence that even the brilliant Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) fails to comprehend the massive structure that contains them. There is tension on the ship, as well as in the universe, as Commander Willard Decker (Stephen Collins), the Enterprise's new captain, is relegated to being Kirk's assistant. In addition, Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), the lovable, crotchety doctor who is constantly at odds with Spock, must be tricked away from his life of relaxation to serve on a voyage he wants no part of. It's not long before the Enterprise is taken over by the alien entity, and navigator Ilia (Persis Khambatta) is abducted. When she is returned to the Enterprise, she informs Kirk that unless the entity is united with its creator, it will destroy the Earth. With excellent special effects and witty nods to the old series, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE set a new standard in sci-fi films--and paved the way for a host of excellent sequels.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Increasingly hypnotic...
This is the first time I've ever seen the director's cut as compared to the theatrical version. Although already slow with the original cut, you must see the director's cut to compare. It still is very good and I'm so glad I searched for such a long time to get a widescreen directors cut of this first Star Trek movie franchise. The slowest of them all but by no means dull. Worth seeing and investing in.
Good value for money, may purchase digital enhanced version.
Good quality DVD alround : new sound effects are a little disappointing but additional scene of Enterprise inside the alien cloud are great.
Very much enjoy this first Star Trek Motion picture.
Trek's opening salvo on the big screen loses pace towards the end but is still enjoyable all the same . Visually it has held up very well, perhaps better than some of the sequels . They boldly went 🙂
Star Trek The Motion Picture - The Directors Edition
This is a favorite of mine. The Directors Cut improved scenes make the movie easier to see what is happening. If you like Star Trek The Motion Picture, then I would recommend this for you.
Despite my title and the critics reviews at the time i really enjoyed this film. The story could have been a little more pacy but the effects make up for it.
Also there was a scene that was cut where Commander Decker is identified as Admiral Deckers son or Grandson so it better explains Deckers attitude to Kirk.
Star Trek The Motion Picture - The Director's Edition DVD
A much better version of the movie than the original, a cut down introduction of the new Enterprise and journey within V'ger, especially the latter which I found extremely long and tedious in the original version of the movie. Not a great movie but the enhanced special effects make up for it.
