Star Trek - The Motion Picture -Trekkiechannel documentary part 1

That first idea for the feature later became the basis for the 2009 feature!

The Motion Picture is one of my all time favorite films. It has a certain feel to it that makes it weirdly unique. Thank you for the documentary.

you can call me uncultured if you want to. But Ilia's Theme in my opinion is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created.

A terrible script and overdone special effects. Star Trek was never about special effects. It was about people. George Lucas made the same mistakes in the prequels.

There would be no wrath of Khan without the failure of TMP. It goes to show you that a smaller budget really makes you think outside the box.

and Orson Wells as Orson Wells...

TMP was really boring and wasted their high budget on boring SFX scenes. Reading about the previous proposed script of "Planet of the Titans" as a TOS movie I'm really puzzled at the logic of hollywood the concept and opening storyboard was really fantastic it even had the Klingons and time travel to ancient Paleolithic earth !

That concept work for Planet of Titans looks like the ship design for Discovery!

For my part, I will never understand why JJ Abrams felt the need to break Canon. Why not show Kirk, Spock, McCoy and co meeting for the first time, wasn't that enough? No..we had to rewrite Star Trek History...it was an ego thing if you ask me...

is from this trailer where Dolby stole the sound for (THX THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING)?

That's a damn good trailer, with Orson Welles voice.

I loved this film back in 1979/1980 and I love it even more today. Guess which Trek film out of all 13 has the BEST soundtrack? This one. Thanks to the legendary Jerry Goldsmith.

That hair!

So where is part 2???

Where's part 2?

I Will Always Love You, Lady Majel Barrett Roddenberry as,Nurse Chapel

I Met Jimmy Doohan Twice at The Conventions and He Remembered My Name

I Met Mark Lenard and Grace Lee Whitney and Walter Koenig and George Takei at The Conventions in Wisconsin and in San Diego at Comic-Con

Biggest design flaw of the starship Enterprise is that you can't land it. Where is the landing gear??

When I was a kid our family was sent journals to write down what we watched. I just made s**t up. I just wanted the $5 bucks they promised me. The networks put waaay to much stock in those ratings numbers, which were probably never accurate anyway.

My mom started me on my love for Star Trek. She was 20 in 1966. In 1979 I was 3 and she took me to see the motion picture. My first movie. So there was a demographic of young women as well. NBC missed the mark for sure.

V'ger scared the hell out of me. The idea of being... absorbed...is terrifying.
