Wonderful sets, great special effects give a sense that the Enterprise was real with a crew of 500. Loved seeing it again on the big screen. It’s been 40 years since I last saw it in a theatre. Goosebumps and tears of joy all over again.

I saw this movie in the theater 40 years ago and it was great to celebrate the anniversary with a group of fellow Trekkies

It’s a bit overextended but very watchable with flourishes of exotic invention.

Star Trek is, finally, nothing but a long day's journey into ennui.

This 1979 movie adaptation of the cult TV series is blandness raised to an epic scale. Robert Wise's bloodless direction drains all the air from the Enterprise.
