yet it felt as though Star Trek: The Motion Picture was ripping off the success of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Granted, the whole V’Ger plot would have more bearing and overarching relevance in The Next Generation where it was heavily-theorized by Trekkies that V’Ger was actually the entity responsible for creating The Borg Collective due to the practices coinciding with the very essence of V’Gers’ mission to gather all knowledge via assimilating it into itself similar to how the Borg acquire new Drones by Assimilating other species in order to gather more and more knowledge in order to better itself. Think of the Borg Collective as an extension of V’Ger in the same way as remote-operated electronic equipment that is controlled by a planetary rovers central computer is less sophisticated than the actual rover.

TMP was the purest Star trek movie. No other can compere with it, besides The Voyage Home. it has everything that makes Star Trek Star trek. Strange lifeforms, new levels of existence. It was just to much for that time. With star wars the people want more action is scifi films. If TMP came before Star war, it would be more successful

I want to see Rainbow Dash go to warp 1!

More like the motionless picture.
 
I’d still rather watch it than the reboot movies though.

I liked the first Star Trek movie.That one Vulcan guy who gets all splurged in the transporter though,that was unnecessary.

We get it filmmakers, the ship looks really cool, now can we hurry up please?
 
Also, at least the MLP movie won’t have an “action scene” of a guy just making it through a door as its about to close.

Ughhh…
 
I’d forgotten about that. I get the reason, I do. They wanted it clear how the Enterprise had been upgraded. And the modelmaker had done an outstanding job on a miniature that could reportedly be viewed as close as a quarter of an inch by the the camera and still be believable.
 
But that was just ridiculously long. In today’s world that would’ve been cut down to maybe 30 seconds.

I don’t think wasting 20 minutes looking at the Enterprise helped either

Let’s hope the movie doesn’t turn out as bland and boring as the one it’s homaging did, heh.
 
Most Trekkies will admit TMP wasn’t good at all. It tried to be too high-concept for the series’ first movie, and as a result it was slow. The monotone colors of the uniforms and sets didn’t help, either. The concept of V’ger was cool, but the whole thing was just this long, slow buildup for the only cool part of the movie.
 
Cool idea about the poster, however.

Let’s hope it’s much better than Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
