This story tells about a space object that has been spotted and may possibly destroy the Earth completely. That story began when Admiral Kirk tried to lead Starship to fight this strange entity and stop it again. Leonard Nimoy, Devourst Kelly, and actors from the famous Star Trek television series seem to have a strong mission to stop those dangerous tasks that could destroy the earth.
If the endless interstellar vistas of 2001: A Space Odyssey tested your patience, Star Trek: The Motion Picture will make you cry like a little star child.

Merely a weak, inapt Star Trek movie, not a completely awful one.
The expensive effects (under supervision of Douglas Trumbull) are the secret of this film, and the amazing wizardry throughout would appear to justify the whopping budget.
What you see is what you respond to, and what you see is a unique cultural phenomenon, and a film that for all its visual splendors falls well short of its aspirations.
