Last night, out of sheer boredom, I decided to watch Star Trek : The Motion Picture with no distractions. It forced me to revaluate my feelings about it. I've always been fond but mainly viewed it as a bore-fest.
Despite the pacing (still the film’s biggest flaw IMO) and those costumes, good lord high def TVs have not improved those pants, I left the experience thinking more highly of it.
One, it has a really good story, I mean it’s a classic Star Trek through and though, the concept is solid and I truly respect it.
Second, it’s flipping gorgeous! The effects have aged incredibly, I found myself just ogling the V’GER set as a marvel of practical effects.
I highly recommend a re-watch of this film.
