At last count I've watched every episode of the original series at least five times and even attended one Star Trek Convention.<br /><br />I remember seeing Star Trek: The Motion Picture on opening day and walking out forcing myself not to cry. In my humble opinion it was horrible. Gene Roddenberry made it into a special effects show run by committee. Acting as you noted was limited and canned. More time given to the exterior of the starships then to the individuals inside.<br /><br />Generally I try to forget the first movie. To me the real movies, based on storyline and not special effects, started with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.Steve USMA '85https://www.blogger.com/profile/01098957060650513905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-76834529854447069812011-07-10T18:04:56.369-07:002011-07-10T18:04:56.369-07:00And hopefully Decker got Ilia to break her oath o...And hopefully Decker got Ilia to break her oath of celibacy....there is no question Kirk would do itMike Thiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929567856363413549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-24774948551706502982011-07-10T17:34:59.703-07:002011-07-10T17:34:59.703-07:00You list several of the special effects, but Persi...You list several of the special effects, but Persis Khambatta was the most memorable one of all.EdDnoreply@blogger.com
