Movie Notes: Star Trek: The Motion Picture
That Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a box office success and launched a film franchise is hard to believe in retrospect. The jab “Star Trek: The Motionless Picture” is all too true. There are many reasons: in the late seventies, Paramount was working on Star Trek: Phase Two, a new television series that was prematurely aborted.

The rest of the movie’s running time is filled with a large, nebulous cloud of pointlessness.
