This is true Trek! Not the best Star Trek movie ever, but definitely underrated. It’s so much better than any modern Trek made since 2009.

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.
