For many fans, Star Trek the Motion Picture was a major misstep for the star trek universe. It started out as a high budget scifi epic made in the wake of Star Wars(1977,aka Episode 4: New Hope), In many ways it was made to over shoot Star Wars. What happened tho was, while the movie was high budgeted and featured some amazing some special effects, it lacked a good plot or much for the cast to with there roles.
The Plot for this movie if you haven't seen it, revoles around a space black hole like cloud that is destroying many ships, so the Enterprise and Kirk and Crew are sent to save the day.
Here's my top 5 reasons why I think Star Trek The Motion Picture failed as a true trek movie for it's cast,characters, and fans in no real order:
1. How under played William Shanter is. This is a no no for me, The shat man has to overact
2. The transporter in this movie, unlike the shows is too overdone. The blue or yellow was just fine in my book. It's too cheesy and out dated
3. Over doing the intro of the updated Enterprise, i understand this is a major event but your pushing it, a bit too much
4. Wtf is up with the damn wormhole!
5. Persis Khambatta as Ilia, is just a weird casting call on the movie's part and she just doesnt do anything for me
