Watched the 79 motion picture.
honestly hadn't seen it since the mid 80's on cable so i don't think I noticed the first half of the movie was the special effects guys just flexing and going "look what we can do. with Star Trek! and I need a few more dudes in self propelled space suits in the back ground!"

I enjoyed the second half better.
I still laughed at how everyone was jumping in their seats to simulate a shaky enterprise.
I enjoyed it for what it was.
A long episode of OG Star Trek with a budget and bad uniforms.

think i'll work my way through those movies now since I honestly can't remember when I last watched them.

edit:

Wrath of Kahn was a solid movie.

Vigo:
As far as I recall, the motion picture literally took a tv episode script and stretched it out to a full movie. They had a Star Trek reboot series in the works that got scrapped, and just stole a script from it to make the movie. They filled the time with special effects instead of building more into the script. In the movie's defense, that was bleeding edge effects for the time.


Also, I just have to say it.....it is one of the coolest movie posters ever made. Don't know why, but the space rainbow just works.

They used the concept for Phase 2 for TMP. Deckard and Ilia were created for Phase 2. They also repurposed a bunch of Phase 2 scripts for Season 1 of TNG with Riker and Troi essentially being pallette swaps of Deckard and Ilia.

There was also a bunch of stuff written about Ilia's species making men uncontrollably horny, most of which was cut from the film.

Well, with that skimpy little space bathrobe she had on, that would just be redundant.

I did not know this but it makes a some sense.  I can see the similarities with Riker and Troi.

It has been many years since I read it but I seem to recall this being mentioned in the novel.
