I have been watching Star Trek and after going through the original series, the animated series and season 1 of the next generation, i thought i should watch one of the movies!
I really had to fight my way through the motion picture. The pace was so slow and much of it mostly showed characters staring at something or someone. It was great to see the characters again though even though they had aged more that i had expected.
There’s a reason a lot of people call it “the Motionless Picture.”
The director’s cut fixes the pacing a little despite adding footage.
