Star Trek: The Motion Picture HD Movie Review
Posted on by Thomas De Maesschalck
Following the successful cult following that continued even when the original Star Trek series was cancelled in 1969, another series to be called Star Trek: Phase II was commissioned in the late 1970’s. However, after the massive success that Star Wars saw in 1977, plans quickly evolved to turn the series into a feature length movie, to become known rather simply as Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Many fans deride the slow pace of the film (it has been harshly dubbed The Motionless Picture, but I appreciate the slightly slower pace and over time it has become appreciated as somewhat of a ‘thinking mans’ sci-fi film, in the ilk of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
