There is an awesome majesty to the scope of the film the Enterprise porn as Kirk and Scotty take a shuttle to board the ship, the sweeping visuals of V’ger’s interior, juxtaposed with the intimate, furtive glances and knowing tells of the principle three as they assess their options.
This is science fiction, something Star Wars and its fantasy narrative, never delves into and it is what gives Trek The three main characters of Kirk, Spock and McCoy have their discussions and arguments, while there is a credible threat, all the while exploring thematic ideas about change, growth, and ultimately pondering the existential questions of existence. Yes, there are the pre-requisite ‘getting-back-together’ scenes, but once the plot is underway, it plays out much like the show.

In 2021, this edition was again re-visited, this time to upgrade to 4K, including all the new effects. The whole, while not vastly different, now has a slightly more coherent drive, is more concise, despite the lengthier runtime, with the new effects making an improvement and augmenting the realism/mystery of V’ger. Although it runs a few minutes longer, the changes are throughout with many scenes being trimmed, ironically some for pacing (!!), dialogue added or removed to assist in the edited narrative.

Director Wise was never truly happy with the finished product, feeling that some of his ideas were lost and many of the effects were not to his liking. So, reworking the pilot script for Phase II, beefing up the effects, bringing on board celebrated director Robert Wise, and all the original crew, including Leonard Nimoy, whose contract negotiations would have far-reaching consequences for the franchise, and a big budget to match the lofty ideas (although much of the budget was tacked on Phase II costs), The Motion Picture launched in December 1979.ĭespite the budget, the time, the effort and the vision, it was still a rushed release. Studios scrambled to jump on the bandwagon, including Paramount, who actually had something that they could market. Then Star Wars happened and suddenly there was interest in science fiction again.
