Star Trek: The Motion Picture IMDb
Decided to start a Star Trek marathon just for kicks. I've never seen any of the movies or show except for the latest J.J. Abrams. My co-worker and friend, Casey, hooked me up with all the movies on DVD. So here we go with the first movie. It was better than I expected. It was long and some scenes took forever to play out but I get it, they were trying to pull a 2001: Space Odyssey. It kinda works. The Klingons came out in the beginning but then they never appeared again. It's all about this mysterious alien-like force that is heading towards Earth. The mission is to stop it. Pretty simple story. Got confused a bit during the middle but I got it. It's also semi-romantic. There were no battle scenes or action but I didn't know what to expect so I was okay with this sci-fi drama. Next week or so, I'll be checking out Star Trek II: "Wrath of Kahn."
