mvie mu-1019861: Star Trek: The Motion Picture - is a B Movie in disguise!

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 09:19:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author quitesimply - I never really was a huge fan of Star Trek: The Original Series; it had the same fell to it as many 60s and 70s sci-fi series (Battlestar Galactica (the original), Buck Rogers etc.). The larger than life heroes that strolled about in them, fighting...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author toiletoctopus - There are two types of Star Trek fans. I belong to the first group, that really enjoys the show and movies created by Gene Rodenberry. We are the conventional group, that likes this type of science fiction, because it helps us escape the...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SirAlex - Note: This review focuses on the 2002 DVD Director’s Edition for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Otherwise, it would probably lose a star (at least) if not for the editing done to make this film watchable. Although it took Robert Wise 23 years to hire...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bonsi6337 - My husband is the trekkie in the family - so much so that he gets a DVD every 2 weeks with a magazine. Through this we have all 10 films and a growing collection of episodes from The Next Generation. But before I digress so much that this review is rated...

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 18:57:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Being a child of the seventies, I grew up on Star Trek Re-runs. I loved the show, and after all, who wouldn’t? The fearless Captain Kirk, the enigmatic Mr. Spock, the crotchety Dr. McCoy, the irrepressible...

Wed, 17 Dec 2003 15:38:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author alexdg1 - As a Star Trek fan and space-movie aficionado, I have always had mixed feelings toward 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I know I'm not the only Trekkie who feels...if not disenchantment, then ambivalence about this sometimes promising, sometimes...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JediKermit - You know how there are movies that you try desperately to love, because of some sort of connection you have with them? Maybe you loved the book it was based on, or it has your favorite actors, or you’re a longtime fan of the director. But the movie...

Sun, 9 Jun 2002 11:41:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sadgit - When I was 16, I was a major Star Trek fan and I had seen every other Star Trek movie, and I owned every single Original cast movie on video. I had watched the first half of this film when I was a kid, and found it boring so I turned off halfway through...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - In my ever-growing struggle with the unlisted at Epinions, I'll prologue my review by saying the version of "Star Trek The Motion Picture" I'm basing this review on is the new 136 minute, 2 DVD "Star Trek The Motion Picture The Director's Cut." On...

mvie mu-1019861: The Motion-Sickness Picture

Mon, 29 Oct 2001 19:30:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author thepremier - For Star Trek’s first voyage into the final frontier of movies, it was unfortunately a clumsy one. I’m sure that when it was first announced and released, a feeling of great joy and pride swept across the Trek world in the late 70’s. Unfortu...

Thu, 24 May 2001 19:03:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zosui - Yes, I'm familiar with the gripes against this film - it's too long, boring, even "un-Star-Trekkian." And I have to say, honestly - what is everyone thinking? The only Star Trek films I'm interested in reviewing are The Motion Picture and the three...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jasonmv1701 - The original "Star Trek" had been a booming business with syndication and conventions for over half a decade. The show that had been cancelled by NBC had been given a new life with a whole new cadre of fans. At first, Paramount thought a second TV...

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 19:29:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author AliventiAsylum - I read many reviews that have panned Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I think it's unfair to the movie, especially if you realize the origin.

Gene Roddenberry had tried for years to resurrect his television series after it's...

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 20:41:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bad_atom - A few days ago, I put this movie in my VCR. The VCR screamed in agony as I played it. It begged and pleaded for me to fast-forward past the endless special effects scenes. And it breathed a sigh of relief when I hit STOP and EJECT.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mickp - My Epinion title of course refers to the general consensus at Epinions and for that matter everywhere, is that Star Trek - The Motion Picture was a rather dull waste of time which failed to capture any of the essence of the original series. This...

mvie mu-1019861: How Can A Sci-Fi Picture be Boring? Watch This and See!

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 12:46:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sweetcece - Star Trek - The Motion Picture is a disgrace to Star Trek itself. The movie is a sequel to the television series of the 60s, and personally, if I had not wanted to see the characters of the movie so bad, I would have never seen it.

Tue, 9 May 2000 22:39:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ARTIST - I have never been a Star Trek fan, and probably never will be. I found the original series to be fairly boring and lacking much that I require in a series to get me watching again.

Saying that, I sat down and watched the 'motion picture' with...

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 15:13:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author swoeste -

You can't imagine what it's like to have your favorite TV series die, without a whimper, back in the summer of '69, when you are just a new adolescent, and that's one of the few things that still looks good to you in the 60s. Without losing...

Wed, 16 Feb 2000 21:18:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - NBC’s canceling the original Star Trek may be the biggest mistake in television history. However, that one show led to many movies, books and other TV series. After the original series was cancelled, there was this idea floating around for a second...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Lonster99 - Opening night.....December 7, 1979, I went with 3 other people to the theater to see STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE. I was 24 then, and had been a BIG fan of the show that originally aired on NBC from 1966 to 1969. I could hardly wait to see the cast...
