Getting back to this project I started. Going to keep at this until it is caught up with what is out there at least. Just watched the Star Trek original movie and here is my review of it:

Star Trek: The Motion Picture Review

This movie feels leaps and bounds improved over the show in most respects. While the show was ahead of its time for character development, it was incredibly low budget in special effects. This movie was clearly trying to give Star Trek the "Star Wars" feel and, for the most part, succeeded in doing so. The movie was suspenseful (I honestly had no idea where it was going), and this feeling of imminent doom was always there (the "bad guy" was like 20+ something AU's in diameter, I believe, which is massive) heading closer and closer to Earth. The movie had an older cast (years and years after the show) and with that, some internal ship stress and politics came with it (I won't spoil too much), which made for an interesting setting and plot. The ending, though, was truly phenomenal. I did NOT see that coming what the "villain" ultimately was, nor did I predict what the solution would be, and I still have no clue what the heck the new entity is and means. Maybe those things will be revealed in the sequel? Or maybe not? Regardless, it was a good movie, though I found it to not be as groundbreaking as the original Star Wars movie.
