Slow as fuck and the asteroid warp scene is laughable (you can literally just see them moving around in their seats), but I actually quite enjoyed this movie.
Why's it considered so bad? It's nowhere near as bad as the other bad ToS trek films and better than all the Next Generation movies.
It's the best Trek film and the warp scene is great.
This is the most kino trek film desu
"Commander, tell me about your sexual organs."
My problem is that 90% of the movie is the cast staring at something. And the other 10% is Trek trying to be 2001, with slow trippy visuals.
Seriously, watch the scene where Kirk is flown out to the Enterprise again. It's all reaction shots and model porn.
It's Star Trek: The Slow-Motion Picture.
That being said, great score, the effects were good for the time, the Enterprise Refit is fucking gorgeous, and there are some good hard-sci-fi concepts in it.
>with slow trippy visuals.
Legit question, how did they do these without computers?
100% agree. TMP is a masterpiece and a definitive slice of what Star Trek should be.
Nothing Happens:The Motion Picture
I got you covered, familia.
It's the only Star Trek film which is actual science fiction.

Star Trek Beyond is pure shit
star trek: 2001 a waifu odyssey.
The effects in TMP are astonishing. I watched half of Star Trek: Beyond yesterday (couldn't stomach the whole thing in one sitting) and it was just a bland pudding of beige and blue CGI. The Motion Picture instills a genuine feeling of awe and discovery, V'ger is believably alien and terrifying.
You can call it boring but TMP is the *film* that made people sit up and take Star Trek seriously.

Kek source on this? I love this movie but it was a joke when it came out. It was a massive financial success because it was the return of Trek but it was laughed at as a 2001 rip-off and even fans called it a bore. There's a reason Wrath of Khan is essentially a reboot with a completely different style, tone, design aesthetic, etc..
>Why's it considered so bad?
Well user, there's a reason it's nicknamed 'The Motionless picture'
>Desperately Trying To Be 2001 and Failing: The Motion Picture.
its shit but for a Trek movie is not bad. some of the scenes are gay as fuck though. when Kirk is first flown to the Enterprise his literally starts fapping and that shit lasts for 10 whole minutes, with Scotty watching.
Nah brah ur pure shit
>Why's it considered so bad?
It's slow-paced and philosophical, people wanted fast-paced adventure. People didn't like the costumes, even though a lot of thought went into them and how they worked, while their replacements (which people love) were really kind of a flight of fancy that seem a very poor fit for the Federation. I've always liked it and wish there was more like it.
That's really not true. Even as a slow paced philosophical hard sci-fi film this movie has massive issues.
Roddenberry's original story delved heavily into Kirk's psyche and examined how he was essentially suicidally depressed and couldn't find a place in life outside of the Captain's seat. ALL of this is cut out of the film so Kirk just comes off like a complete asshole trying to steal Decker's command out of ego.
Decker himself is given very little development and his romance with Ilia which essentially drives the film is established in ONE scene and the performers have no chemistry.
The rest of the returning crew have no roles in the story and return just to sit around on the bridge. In general the entire movie is just characters sitting around on the bridge and reacting to SFX on the viewscreen. Spock's Kolinahr and his relationship to V'ger which again is elaborated on Roddenberry's original story gets completely gutted and also feels undeveloped.
I enjoy this movie. I ranked it at #3 here but it's got flaws that don't have to do with the audience being plebs.
Kirk: "hi Lt. Ilea. Nice to meet you."
Ilea: "My oath of celibacy is on record Captain."
First-line cockblock!
