Ok
I'm not going to talk about the story as that's been said thousands of time in its 43 year life span and it wouldn't make not one difference!
I'm not going to talk about the acting or special effects or even the turmoil of getting it made!
But what I will say it has stood the test of time from 1966 to 2022 and maybe beyond, sprouting out spin off movies and TV series, just from watching this. Which to some one up there thinking it had promise in other means! Kudos to them!
But there is another thing I will say, is unlike Star Wars episode 4: a new hope, this one movie alone has been really messed around with so much you don't know which version is which You have the Star Trek the Motion Picture, the standard Theatrical version then you have the TV version of the movie, then you have the letterbox version(with surround 5.1 sound) then you have the Extended Version, then you have the Directors Cut version, then you have the directors Edition Remastered(137min) then you have the new directors Edition second remaster (138min) but in 4K.!
I'm sure I must have missed one out some where!
I'm guessing they will bring out a new version in 6k or 8k with Dolby Atmos in the near future with new digital footage! Probably called Star Trek: The motion picture the ultimate Directors additional remastered extended UHD, 6k spectral sound Atmos with unseen footage and new digital footage! That was a mouth full!
I accidentally bought this movie twice on Amazon prime because I got mixed up with the versions!!
PLEASE. NO MORE VERSIONS !!!!😂😂😂
The problem with each version is they don't clean up the effects enough! I can still see 'Chromatic aberration' on the Enterprise in effects shots like leaving the dry dock. There are scenes where entire shots are digital animated. If only they could combine the shots to clean it up!
