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.
I feel like the only person who loves this movie. Its slow pacing allowed the weirdness of the mystery build and have time for bad theories to build before laying out what’s actually happening.
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.
Some one paired the movie with the Daft Punk soundtrack from Tron: Legacy. Quite enjoyed it!
I was a little kid when this came out.
But I still remember the scene with the space walk and the sense of awe I felt.
As an adult, it doesn’t hit the same, but holy hell did it stick in me.
I always felt like it wanted to be 2001: a Space Odyssey. Watch it as an art piece more than a movie.
