Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 132m
Director: Robert Wise
Cast: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy
Synopsis:
Captain James Kirk leads a reunited crew and Enterprise against an alien force that destroys everything in its path, ignores messages of friendship and is heading straight for Earth.
Review:
Spoiler alert: rather like the bomb in Dark Star, the threat turns out to be an old Voyager space probe that has got too big for its boots, which is the best thing about this inflated, portentous revival of the popular TV series. It squanders its surprise resolution with interminable sequences of murkily photographed hi-tech model work, and a televisual insistence on reaction shots for sentimental effect, which grind the pace to a standstill.
