The 2001 influence is obvious and I think it really helped this film. This is the most visually interesting Star Trek related media I've ever seen.

It's a good, epic science fiction movie.

Star Trek had to become a homoerotic comedy and not science fiction before people started saying it was good.

"Boring" is a copout word used as a criticism by idiots who cannot better express their opinions.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the picture, anon, but this opinion (which I've heard buzzing once or twice on /tv/ recently..?) is a minority one. Most fanboys acknowledge that this movie sucks.

It has a number of things going against it. The pacing is shit, IIRC (I've seen it twice). Although "The gang's all back" for the first time since TOS, there's no fun or camp to any of what they're doing. The movie is, unfortunately for Star Trek /too serious/. In particular, Kirk, Spock and McCoy's early interactions come off as cold and unfriendly AND BORINGLY-SLOW, and not how we remember the characters. Fortunately, this plodding Star-Trek-Is-Taking-Itself-Way-Too-Seriously problem was quickly remedied with Wrath of Khan.

Second, everyone hates the pajama outfits, which were mercifully one-offs. By Khan they had real outfits again, which they retained for the next few flicks.

Also, upon my re-watch, I realized how boring the bald bitch was. Not even the tweest does much to redeem the flick. Search for Spock was my least favorite film before the re-watch, but once I'd been through it again, I came to the serious conclusion that The Motion Picture is the worst Star Trek flick (I've seen most of them). Even Search for Spock has important character-arcing, Klingon interiors, Chris Lloyd, and just plain straight-up camp.

Still, I did like Spock's spacewalk.

There is a tradition among Trek Nerds, for this very reason, that "the even numbered movies are good, the odd-numbered movies are bad." This is generally correct of the first eight movies (remember how awesome First Contact was?!)

>>64995550
>First Contact
>awesome
into the trash it goes

>>64994976
the split focus is nausea inducing

Having said that anon, Robert Wise is an important director, and not consigned only to sci-fi popcorn flicks. You might consider watching other Robert Wise films you haven't seen. I recommend the supernatural horror picture "The Haunting" (1963), not to be confused with its terrible remake, or the Vincent Price movie of a similar name. I think you would also like the 60's version of The Andromeda Strain, it's an early adaptation of a Chrichton book, has a real sci-fi plot, and the scientists wear similar stupid pajama-suits :^)

Makes sense in terms of picards arc if you completely ignore everything that happened in TNG since he was assimilated.

>>64996010
Movie went wrong way before this scene, mate. Borg Queen, for one thing.

not space odyssey 2001 is slow.

>>64995983
why would you add nuTrek to this list? wtf is wrong with you? you were doing so good

>>64996137
Nah, after he goes home and chills with his brother, then has more issues with Hugh in Season 6, had his borg prejudices reaffirmed in that season finale, then has the Borg attack Earth at the beginning of the movie.

That scene fits just fine. His action-hero climbing up the piping in the last scene while wearing a tanktop is what's wrong.
His spine-snapping execution of the helpess Queen is what's wrong.

Him refusing to trust the Borg and smashing his cabinet in a futile, impotent moment of rage? That's Picard.

>>64996168
Like it or not, NuTrek is still Trek. And I honestly enjoyed 2009, I really did. Had a lot of fun.

>>64996152
Yes I agree, but even here the queen is them taking a "character" in the TNG universe (the borg as a whole) and stuffing a completely different character into them

Angry PTSD picard is not a thing, hes profoundly distrubed and maybe even inwardly terrified by his experience of being assimilated, but his reaction to it in the movie doesnt match his previous reactions while dealing with the borg post assimilation during the series.

Likewise the borg queen is an innapropriate personification of the borg, and completely misses the point of the borg. The borg (an unstoppable hive mind bent on effectively destroying your individuality) in this universe act as a polar opposite/foil of the federation, who value individuality and freedom over everything. Personifying the collective into a single person is completely missing the point.

I sometimes thought it would have been an interesting "tweest" if it turned out the Decker-Ilia-VGer merge was what lead to the creation of the Borg.

>>64996308
Oh, I'm not defending the Queen, at all. I am literally only defending that one scene and you saying it's out of character, when it's really not at all.

See this post here where I rationalise it >>64996263

The Queen can get fucked. They've literally admitted that the only reason she's a thing is because the writers of the movie were having too much trouble coming up with dialogue for the Collective. That's actually the reason they give, it's hilarious.

>>64996263
>Him refusing to trust the Borg and smashing his cabinet in a futile, impotent moment of rage? That's Picard.

No, it isnt. Theres no way he'd lose it in front of some random earther who has no idea whats going on and is depending on him for guidance to make it out alive just because shes suggesting he goes and talks to them. Hell it took his own brother a good week to make him break down and thats with his brother knowing exactly where to poke him to get him to lose it and admit what was bothering him, and then after that catharsis you think after that hes going to lose control in a random room with some random woman? Nah.

I agree with the rest of your post, its more pseudo picard being presented as the real picard, but you're wrong about smashy scene.

>>64995550
You're making the presumption that Star Trek needs to be a fun/campy action. Star Trek has dealt with serious topics before and handled them seriously. I don't understand how Star Trek being serious is inherently bad.

I personally liked the cold, strained relationship they had with each other. The characters are older, haven't seen each other in a long time, and are going to act accordingly. Bones was borderline forced on the enterprise, Spock was in isolation struggling to commit himself to logic, and Kirk's arrogance is catching up to him. I think these things bring out interesting aspects of their characters.

Slower pacing doesn't make the film boring. I was engaged during the whole film and never felt like a scene was dragging on too long. It had been a decade since the series had originally aired, and a more mature tone is called for.

I'll agree that the uniforms were retarded, but I think they wanted to distance themselves from the bright primary colors.

>>64996423
I would argue that having the actual Borg literally on the ship you captain, slaughtering your crew, would be more than equivalent to your brother pushing your buttons for a week.

Can we really know how Picard should truly react around the Borg? He's quite a restrained character, whereas something like the Borg, who basically raped him, would surely prompt a more visceral response.

>>64996423
Don't forget after that catharsis he still has deep issues with the Borg when he meets Hugh over two seasons later.

>>64996487
Just like he got super angry at the ferenghi that captured his ship a million times? Or the Binars? or any of the other times? I still think its out of character for Picard.

It takes weeks of torture to get this guy to lose it and yell about how many lights there are, I dont think the dialog or situation was enough to make Picard go apeshit.

>>64996373
At the end of the film Kirk says that Decker gave this new being the will to choose its own destiny, filled with the weaknesses of mankind. But >>64996455 could make sense.

>>64996600
>it takes a week of torture
This is a good point, considering this happened long after his assimilation IIRC. Of course show-Picard was never entirely consistent himself, especially with respect to the prime directive

>>64996600
Yeah, well, you're obviously not an idiot so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I just feel the Borg violated him and his subsequent experiences with them in the series after this violation are more than convincing enough for him to have a breakdown under the right circumstances. And you know, he'd hit the self-destruct, he'd lost Data... the man's not allowed to throw a gun through a cabinet?
I think the whole Ahab thing was a great concept that would've been even better if handled by competent writers.

>>64996686
Its all irrelevant really, since I think we agree one of the central problems of the movie overall is the inappropriate recharacterization of alot of the main characters/factions in the universe, regardless of if we agree scene by scene.

>>64996429

>>64996969

This is a fair point where 2001 is concerned, and likewise for Interstellar, but its relevance falls off for a Star Trek movie.

In terms of their respective pains to depict the reality of space travel in as honest a manner as possible (while also attending to fictional narratives), our hierarchy goes

2001 >> Interstellar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Star Trek

Now that you mention it, I am reminded that both the Discovery and the Interstellar ship had comparable "first legs" of their trips - Discovery to Jupiter (in the movie, but Saturn in the book!), the Interstellar ship out to Saturn, where each meets its Sci-Fi Plot Device, and the factual reality of space travel can be dispensed with, to an appropriate storytelling degree.

>>64996926
>Picard in Insurrection is perfect, one of the very few things that movie got right.
Except for the fact that he had practically this same issue happen in TNG at least twice before, and vehemently argued the reverse argument.

Picard was a master diplomat, and always achieved success through moral high ground, and making the rule of law work in his favor.

You're telling me the same man who outfoxed the romulans in the neutral zone with treaty interpretations and moxie is the same guy committing high treason because he feels obligated to help some non-ingeniousness people retain their unnatural immortality at the cost of billions, or even trillions of lives that would be saved by harvesting the radiation?

I agree, insurrection is the least offensive of the TNG movies, but it still suffers from having a dumb action plot instead of a clever trek plot. The only thing that made it feel like a TNG episode was Frakes directing.

>>64997201
>I guess the real answer would be in the dialogue-- does the queen ever say anything about existing for a long time?
That wouldn't matter, as she would be lying to give the humans the impression the Borg had a Queen, and it would explain why there was two of them

The real problem with this interpretation is that if the Borg were faking the Queen, Mary Sue 7 of 9 would have surely know about it

>>64997330
Star Trek is a vision of an idealized future, but it isn't pure fantasy. This film brings a sobering look at the characters we've known from the series. Bones is sick of Starfleet, Spock is struggling to remove his human half and Kirk is realizing how arrogant he can be. This film presents a more realistic vision on the universe we know and love. This is further evidenced by the eerie transporter malfunction and the wormhole they enter by warping inside the solar system. These are real dangers that had never been addressed in the series.

>>64997837
I actually thought the wormhole was contrived and silly (though it was used to point out kirk's relative incompetence and his unfitness for command, which is fine) the wormhole itself was silly

>>64997330
I don't think it is necessarily because its depicting it in a "realistic" way, but space is MASSIVE amd EMPTY and letting your movie be kind of slow shows some respect for that.

Including some wide shots of negative space with a ship tiny in the distance, silently moving across frame for 15, 20, or 30 seconds is a fast easy way to demonstrate that vastness in the movie.

The problem with interstellar is that the first leg is the scene of them taking off, and then the scene of them going into the wormhole, and they're back to back. It spends no time on the joruney.

Then they go through the wormhole, and wind up in a system that's never properly established. They don't spend enough time "going" anywhere. TMP, which was trying to be 2001-esque, spends a lot of time showing you the trip through v-ger. The approach, once they are inside, spock's EVA to the core, and then them finally meeting v-ger, and the plot-twist, its an ancient space probe that has journeyed so far out that it's become a godlike superentity. It was a movie about traveling, and travelers. One might even say it was a Trek... Through the stars.

I think it's another good example of Kirk's arrogance. It also grounds TMP a bit more in reality than the series. It's also simply cool looking.

I don't know what I expected

You tell me

I don't get the hate for this movie. I liked a lot of the stuff in the film (okay the new uniforms were bad but sets on the ship looked great)

It's really stretched out seeing as it's a 45 minute television pilot put out over a 90 minute movie

2001 isn't boring. It's a lot more interesting movie visually than Star Trek and has a more intense plot too.

In TNG season 5 episode 24, when Riker and party beam aboard the Romulan ship, the Romulan said that their captain was dead. Shouldn't it have been commander?

>>65003027
Maybe the Romulan was trying to put it into terms he thought humans would understand?

>>65003027
I bet this question was asked at some Con panel

>>65003027
Commander is a rank. Captain is a position, regardless of rank.

Not for the Romulans it ain't.

Not so fast

The thing about Star Trek: The Motion Picture is that it was the first Star Trek movie, and it was made ten years after the original TV show. Everyone knows this, but no-one really thinks about the implications. Ten years is a hell of a long time, the odds were stacked against this film being any good, but instead of being a cheesy cash grab, filled with bitter failed actors phoning in their performances, it was a surprisingly mature and thoughtful, dare I say, patrician, science fiction film. You can say it's boring if you like but it had real quality, it made people sit up and take Star Trek seriously.

O'Brien has done surprisingly well on Hell on Wheels
