Star Trek: The Motion Picture Retrospective Review. Directed by Robert Wise, The Motion Picture was released in December 1979.

One of my all time favorites.🙌🏾✨ Thanks for sharing this. 🫡
Thanks for watching 👍
The production of Alien 3 also gave the Alien Universe the "Union of Progressive Peoples" ☭, which still technically exists in the expanded universe of the franchise. Alien 3 has always been my favorite of the films.
my fave film ever - agree with this apart from the prince thing - it was an aligning of planets decreed by fate and only made this film more epic for me as a young prince fan going. 🙂
😂 I bet that was amazing as a young Prince fan. I personally don’t enjoy that aspect of the film but I’m glad it worked for you
Yeah this movie is too good to be remade
The Assembly Cut of Alien³ is my favourite movie of the series the behind the scenes and making of this film is so disastrous. I feel sorry for what everyone had to go through even though i love the movie. I believe Rage and Wreckage, the Alien³ behind the scenes documentary shouls be shown in film classes. It is truely one of the best behind the scenes documentaries along with The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Appendices.
Fired three times before quitting not sure how that works lol
Mad isn’t it… I find the story of the production of this film really fascinating
This is my favorite version of almost everything, Gotham City, the gadgets, the batmobile, the dark aura, the soundtrack, adaptation of the original material, Batman and the Joker.
I think it set the standard for all future Batman films, we’re all still comparing them to this movie which says a lot.
Yes this is an underrated film indeed
Anyone who doesn't think this is the 2nd best Star Trek film right after The Wrath Of Khan, is crazy.
Who’s Rachel 😂
One of the best movies ever made... horror/Sci Fi/action... don't matter !
Honestly, seeing Kirk taking command of Enterprise D would have been a hell of a better storyline. Kirk always stated he would die alone.
THIS is the only good thing from TNG.
I swear it sounds like the narrator us saying: Okay here are 5 quicks f ^cks about Luke Skywalker.
Uhhh what
Who’s actual medal ceremony is pictured in the film? Medal of Honor recipient Sam Davis.
If we had to have the stupid Picard clone story it should have been Stewart playing both parts. Doesn't the opening just right itself? A Romulan ship destroyes a peaceful settlement. "Targer destroyed, Commander." "Excellent, Subcommander. Take us to warp." And it is revealed 'Picard' is commanding the ship.
We all know this, nothing new here...
I bet you’re really fun at parties 🤦🏻♂️
Feelings on this movie depends on when you saw it. I was 11 in 1979 and being the first new Star Trek in years I loved the movie. The big movie feel was never achieved in any sequel. It may not be the best movie in the franchise, but it is by far the best Star Trek movie.
No, it's pretty mediocre, but has the greatest Star Trek soundtrack ever scored and 10 minutes of starship pron. On that alone, it gets a pass.
I think that’s a fair comment. The score is great and I like the Enterprise intro scene. Personally, I’m a bigger fan of the James Horner scores but I do love the music in this film. I ranked this film 8 out of 13 in all of the trek films, so not the best but not the worst in my opinion.
Ds9 was a rip-off from Babylon 5
I love Star Trek Generations. Personally think it’s great
Rick Berman should have allowed Leonard Nimoy direct Generations but because Nimoy wanted to rewrite the script he refused and thats why Nimoy didn't do the cameo appearance in the enterprise B scenes, Berman was too controlling and he should have allowed Meyer direct Nemesis, we would have gotten better movies, but he's ego got in the way.
Would have been interesting to see what films we would have got. I’d have been more interested in a Meyer directed (and written) nemesis
😊 captain sicko 😊
😊 I love the movie 😊
Nemesis being wasn't bad bcos of the director. Too many fans just want to blame him. The movie was shit. A BLATANT rip-off of TWOK. Beat for beat, plot for plot. The press advertising even said it was the best baddie since Khan. That's how much they wanted it to be TWOK.
Absolute fail
I paused the clip before you said something, but its wierd that thats the only thing that changed, that seems likes something a crazy kid would do out of context.
Thank god Rick Berman ruined Voyager and not Ds9. Such a prick.
Data's death, which admittedly Brent Spiner wanted, was clumsily handled. The loss of all transporters after a single hit to the bridge was ridiculous - see 'Power Play', TNG
Does a starfleet captain maintain their ship as well as James Bond maintain a vehicle?
Hiring people who don't know and/or don't care about the material never works out well, just look at everything Hollywood does for examples.
And look at current Star Trek (Picard season 3 the exception thanks to Terry Matalas)
Kardashian territory, that would be a truly awful place to live, women made out of plastic and filler everywhere. 🤮
I didn’t think anyone would have noticed my mispronunciation 😂 I was going to re-record that bit but just thought, nah, leave it in
DS9 was great, one of the best sci-fi. I would rather live on DS9, babylon 5 a close second.
Thank god we got Nina Vista instead of Michelle Forbes. 😅
Whats depressing is Final Frontier, Insurrection and Nemesis is Shakespeare compared to what we are getting now.😂😂😂
Hahaha. Other than Picard season 3, I would agree.
I think this movie had a lot of potential but it was highly disappointing. Not a terrible film but disappointing.
Yeah I agree. We at the critical cinema club have slightly different opinions on this film but I think we’d both agree that it’s not a terrible film but I definitely think it’s disappointing
Resistance is futile was uttered by Maya, in the final episode of Space:1999, 'The Dorcons'. It aired on 12th November 1977. That's two years before Spock had anything to say about it and almost 12 years before The Borg first show up. Look it up. You young 'uns have a lot to learn. 🙂🖖
That’s an excellent piece of trivia. 👍Space:1999 was way before my time 😂
@@CriticalCinemaClub You're most welcome. It's no sin to be young and there's a massive back catalogue of science fiction out there for you to dive into! 🙂
First Contact is a much better, more accurate title. My favourite Next Gen movie too.
It was based on babylon 5..not some western
DS9 aired before Babylon 5.
@CriticalCinemaClub YEAH. AIRED. Not created/written/funded/casted/produced etc. The richer studio pumped it out first
Is there any proof of this? A quote from somebody? It’s a big claim that needs backing up.
Ds9's promenade has a saloon a sheriff's office a church a school a doctors office a tailor shop seems pretty western to me I have seen mentioned it also being similar to Babylon Michale Straczynski, the creator of Babylon 5, pitched the idea to Paramount before DS9 was created), they are different enough in setting, scope, character, and plot to say that they are definitively not the same show. A lot of shows and movies can be the same like star wars and Harry Potter etc
@@CriticalCinemaClubMichale Straczynski, the creator of Babylon 5, pitched the idea to Paramount before DS9 was created), they are different enough in setting, scope, character, and plot to say that they are definitively not the same show. Whether this is true I don't know
It would have been extraordinary to see James Earl Jones as Sisko!
Picard making a different choice in Insurrection than in Who Watches the Watchers doesn't undermine the earlier story. That's not what undermine means. The different choice is him learning from experience. Calling it undermining is like saying his caution and wisdom as a fiftysomething captain undermines his recklessness as a twentysomething cadet who got himself stabbed through the heart by being stuipid.
Completely disagree as it clearly does undermine Picard’s earlier actions in the series as previously, Picard used diplomacy, something that he became very accomplished at, seldom needing to resort to violence with finding alternatives to overcome situations. He learns from the brashness and the willingness to react on the spot without thinking it through from his early years. That’s the growth of the character with commanding the federation flagship. In the movie, he uses a big ass phaser rifle, disobeying his orders and going rouge, almost like an action hero freedom fighter, because the movie needs action sequences. That is more like his early years, so to me that’s regression of the character just to make him more of a hero fighting against the odds. That just wasn’t Picard from the series The point is, the character was written completely differently in the film to how he was written in the series, whether you enjoy the change to his character or not.
@@CriticalCinemaClub(in Mr. Plinkett voice) and don’t forget how they left Salieri to die when they could have easily beamed him up!
I'm sure they had production models in the beginning. Could be wrong... apparently I often am on the Internet. 😂
You’re quite right, they did! For the sake of keeping the short concise I left out the fact they used models in the beginning, but would eventually go full CGI
@@CriticalCinemaClub Fair play. I hope I didn't come across 'fanboy Karen' there. It wasn't my intention. 😂
Not at all, please feel free to comment on any of our videos!
You're way over doing it with the effects making it hard to view
These were 1 minute shorts spliced together as a supercut so maybe don’t work great for a bigger video. All a learning experience as we’re still finding our feet as a channel
Also, Avery Brooks didn't actually want that role and was angry and impatient at the casting audition. Unlucky for him, that was exactly how the character of Benjamin Sisko was to start out so the showrunners picked him. He then stayed on to teach his son a lesson about honoring your commitment.
You can have a deck 26 on a ship with fewer decks just skip a few numbers.
A lot of places skip number 13 and go straight to 14.
I'm sorry parralel to his previous actions? Sort of in practices taken but ultimately its due to his normal moral standard. The Baku are a technologically withdrawn culture being covertly relocated without their knowledge or consent away from a world which has made the Race biologically immortal. All in an effort to mine the rings that cause this miracle of sorts to bottle it up essentially sentencing an entire culture to death for short time gains. On top of that Picard wasn't even meant to be there... he was only collecting Data as one of the old Dominion Allies that is heading this whole endeavour decided to shoot him when he found the massive holodeck ship... The only reason the Federation is backing this whole charade is cause the Admiral overseeing the project has only really loosely involved himself let alone his small ring of friends at Starfleet Command. Picard was holding back war when it came to journeys end and as crap a job he was given he found a reasonable solution in the end despite the dogged orders he was constantly given in the episode. The main reason he didn't take off the Badge and slap about Cardasians then is cause it wouldn't of helped things... look at the marquis they made the whole area of space an utter war zone for people that chose to be in that position they were so gallantly defending.
I mean ironically if you support the marquis agenda you could easily find yourself siding with the Russians atm to some degree. Which sounds absolutely ridiculous till you think about the positions and the politics around the current Ukraine conflict. If the Federation backed the Marquis it would of been just as stupendous in mortality rates. Cause here's the thing the marquis aren't fighting the cardassian empire they are fighting cardassian colonists quietly backed by the empire. So when its just colonist vs colonist its a private little war that should just be sat down and talked out. As ultimately the alternative means no-one will be left living there in the end. If the Cardassian Empire backed that conflict openly... the whole pot would of boiled over causing damage to every world related to each side as they act to defend themselves and take advantages from each other allied or not. Like the only reason people don't compare cardassia with America or more NATO is cause when you really look at the bigger picture of what the races of Trek represent its not exactly Space Nazis its subversion of current political climates. NATO could be the Federation or the Dominion. When it comes to how they handle each others problems I'd say its the Dominion. Who needs to invade when you can be invited in to help...
Still better than insurrection
Insurrection was slow but that was sort of the point. I watched it a number of times before I slowed down enough to see what they were going for. It was a great Trek film though.
I thought Tom Hardy was really good as Shinzan and I thought he was believable as a youger Picard. The whole Romulan clone of Picard had potential but unfortunately this was the movie we got.
I didn't know all that!
