Title: one long lumberingly boring journey
Review: the best STAR TREK films are parts 2,4,6, GENERATIONS & FIRST CONTACT. parts 3,5, & INSURRECTION weren't so good. and so does this 1st chapter with kirk and crew. so i have seen the director's cut of THE MOTION PICTURE on dvd recently. new special effects have been added that we haven't seen in 1979. when the film came out december of that year, the movie wasn't even finished according to its director robert wise. the "finished" product is improved in the fx dept but this is still 1 slooooooowwww ride on the enterprise. lotta talk, miniscule humor and very tiny action. wise wasn't a wise choice for this film. to me, he was never good in making scifi flicks; 1971's THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN was another snoozer from him. then came THE WRATH OF KHAN with a better director, nicholas meyer and the film series blasted off from there. let's see what occurs with the newest trek movie, NEMESIS out late 2002 directed by stuart baird (U.S. MARSHALS).
