TMP
By Doctor Trekker

Reading Leonard Nimoy's comments about the scope of the movie compared to "The Motion Picture" made me remember why I personally think it is one of if not the best of the original films. It was science fiction at its best. Critics complained there was no action, just the crew looking out the view port for the majority of the film. I personally never noticed or was bothered by that. I was captivated from the time the movie started until the final beauty shot. It was a excellent story, great special effects and one of the most beautiful scores of any science fiction movie. My local theater played this for over a month. During its run, I spent every Saturday afternoon in that theater totally mesmerized.
Coming off the heals of the action and excitement of "Star Wars" (which I spent many Saturday afternoons watching that during its first run)"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" reminded me how easy it was to confuse good science fantasy with good science fiction and gave me a better appreciation of both.
Peace!
