imo, this is far from the best film, in fact it is probably the worst Star Trek film, but it was still fun.

Ah, yes, I was extremely anxious for this to be released... mainly because it meant that the release of Star Trek VI wasn't too far off.

Still, I will have to get this one for two reasons: 1) it will help complete my collection of the special Star Trek DVDs and 2) I don't have a copy of that movie.

Still, not exactly a highlight in the Trek series.

ehem.... It's the worst Star Trek movie ever made; pathetic characters (they look like a caricature of themselves) and nonsense script. A black spot in the star trek universe

[corfy]

Actually, I think Star Trek: The Motion Picture was the worst Star Trek film. Great special effects, decent music... nothing else including characters, dialog, and plot. At least 5 had a few chuckles scattered here and there.

true but i wouldn't say it is the director's fault. this goes more in the direction of paramount bosses who didn't give the money and the time w. shatner needed. the film looks really rushed. same with alien 3, the could be so great but fox interfeared

Shaka-Ri?

What does God need with a starship?

That just means that the DVD has received no classification yet. Like the other Star Trek films it will more than likely be rated (PG) for parental guidence recommended for those under 15.
