Star Trek: The Motion Picture	comment	The one that gave Klingons their trademark forehead ridges.Star Trek: The Motion Picture is the first movie in the Star Trek film series, released in 1979.Eight years after the Cancellation of the original Star Trek series, which had gone on to be Vindicated by Reruns, the blockbuster successes of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind convinced Paramount Pictures to follow up by green-lighting a Sequel Series for the franchise, Star Trek: Phase II, to serve as a backbone of a new fourth major television network, with Trek creator Gene Roddenberry running the new show. However, within a couple of years, and after substantial pre-production had already gone forward on the new series, Paramount ultimately vetoed the idea of starting a new network, fearing major cash drainage.However, Paramount decided to use the work already put into Phase II to finally make The Movie (Roddenberry and Paramount had tried to get a Trek movie off the ground four years earlier, which fizzled), with noted director Robert Wise (director of The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), West Side Story and The Sound of Music) at the helm.As a side note, the general story is nearly identical to the Original Series episode "The Changeling,"note earning it the fan nickname, "Where Nomad Has Gone Before" with elements from "Obsession" and the Animated Series episode "One of Our Planets Is Missing"—and in fact the movie's story was intended to be the pilot of the abandoned Phase II.The plot sounds simple enough. An unstoppable entity calling itself V'ger is heading towards Earth, destroying all in its path, and the Enterprise is sent out to investigate. The story was originally written to be an hour and a half pilot to Phase II (two hours with commercials), stretched to 2Â½ hours, most of which involved the bridge crew staring at special effects in awe. This led to the film to receiving several Fan Nicknames based on its quite slow pacing, such as "The Slow Motion Picture" and "The Motionless Picture". Wise's declared intent at the time was to create a 2001: A Space Odyssey for that era, and the equally slow-moving Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a blockbuster. This film's criticized slow pacing was partly the reason towards making an Actionized, Surprisingly Improved Sequel, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.The novelization of the film is noteworthy for two reasons: it is the only prose Star Trek fiction ever written by series creator Gene Roddenberry, and it contains a footnote explicitly addressing rumors that Kirk and Spock were lovers (it may or may not have cleared that up).The movie is also noteworthy for its score, composed by Jerry Goldsmith, who would go on to score four more Trek theatrical films (he had been Roddenberry's first choice to score the original Trek first pilot, "The Cage", but was unavailable at the time). Goldsmith's main theme would be re-purposed as the theme for Star Trek: The Next Generation, and his Klingon themes would be adapted in other Trek film scores and in later Star Trek series.In 2001, a Director's Cut was released on DVD. It has been trimmed to be slightly faster-paced and includes improved special effects, including a shot that shows the entirety of V'ger. It also revealed that the original film was more of a workprint and Wise was not allowed to trim it to a more reasonable length because executives feared such information would ruin the film's reputation ahead of time, and Wise was so slow at filming the movie that when the prints were delivered for the movie's premiere, they were still wet from last-minute editing. In 2022, a 4K remastered version of the Director's Cut was released on streaming, Blu-ray and a limited theatrical release.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: It's stated in the novelization that Commander Willard Decker is the son of Commodore Matt Decker from the TOS episode "The Doomsday Machine", and the Enterprise was his big chance to prove he wasn't crazy like his dad. That explains why he's none too pleased with Kirk casually commandeering the Enterprise (or some of his crew grousing about it). Notably, it's a complete inversion of of that episode, with Kirk now the flag officer who commandeers Enterprise from her rightful CO and makes poor command decisions that nearly lead to the ship's destruction. The novelization also reveals the identity of the female transporter accident victim, as well as why Chekov and Sulu suddenly act strangely around Ilia. (Females of her species can emit pheromones that make males want to mate with them).

Star Trek: The Motion Picture / int_17fe1048	comment	Naked on Arrival: Probe Ilia is beamed in sans clothing. V'ger helpfully beams her into a sonic shower so she isn't strutting around in the buff, and the shower comes with some kind of instant clothing button that puts her in a spacey bathrobe. The Ilia probe was very hot — in the temperature sense (and, sure, the other one too) — when it arrived, the sonic shower was to cool it down. Though how a sonic shower would do so (or why it's called a "sonic" shower when you can clearly see water on Ilia's skin) is another question.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture / int_1e1afc1b	comment	Framing Device: The novel directly refers to the events of the original TV series as dramatizations based on the voyages of the Enterprise. So that means Star Trek is seen by its creator as a Show Within a Show. Justifiable since Roddenberry got fed up with being asked why the Klingons looked different from the ones seen in TOS. His answer remained that he always intended for everything, including the Klingons, to look more elaborate and detailed than they did on TV; they just didn't have the money or the technology to realize it. Making the original series an "in universe" dramatization takes care of that question. In terms of the production's looks, we might assume that what is low budget and zeerust to us in the real world is simply a stylistic choice on the part of the "in universe" show's creators.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture / int_2b9cf587	comment	Back in the Saddle: Deconstructed. Kirk has been captaining a desk for several years, in which time he's spent very little time in space, meaning his instincts are rusty. In addition, Enterprise has just completed a massive refit in which she's effectively been entirely rebuilt, meaning she's not the ship he knew before. Commander Decker, who was in command of Enterprise through her refit period, is much more familiar with the ship and, in Kirk's own words, "nursemaids" him through the mission, helping them narrowly avoid destruction due to Kirk's unfamiliarity with the ship's new design and associated teething problems.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture / int_3830dafc	comment	Mechanistic Alien Culture: The Ilia Probe struggles to comprehend carbon-based life (the probe is a humanoid android created by a society of Mechanical Lifeforms to interact with the Enterprise crew), so it uses extremely mechanistic language, like "Carbon Units," "Kirk Unit,"—not "Decker Unit". as it still retains enough of Ilia to recognise her former lover—etc., to describe human(oid) society and individual "carbon units." The Ilia Probe created by the machine entity V'ger, being an android, is not an example, but its perception of humanoid society is, as it is colored by the machine belief (as it is on the machines' homeworld) that "carbon units" exist to "serve the creator" (which, according to the machine logic, must be a living machine as well, like V'ger, its creation; similarly, V'ger and the Ilia Probe perceive the USS Enterprise as a Mechanical Lifeform serviced by "Carbon Units"). Interestingly, this implies that "Carbon Units" (carbon-based life) on the machines' homeworld are considered "artificial" by the living machines, which raises some very interesting questions about their evolution and technology.

Given Shatner's usual tendency to over-emote, dull surprise might actually be a sign that he's profoundly affected by the deaths—indeed, Kirk would have a similar reaction to his son's murder in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture / int_4cf1658	comment	Commander Contrarian: Decker. Justified early on; Decker does know the refit Enterprise better than Kirk at that point. Overriding an order from Kirk even saves the ship from being destroyed by an asteroid. Later on, however, he continues to advocate actions which are obstructive or downright contrary to their mission, even recommending firing on V'ger to escape its tractor beam. Decker justifies this with his claim that giving the captain alternatives is the duty of an executive officer, a point which Kirk reluctantly agrees is true. This does nothing to alleviate the hostility between the two.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Director Robert Wise edited Citizen Kane and spent the forty years after that making masterpieces of cinema. Accordingly, this film feels like it's from an entirely different era when watched alongside Wrath of Khan and the films that came after. Its spectacle-based panorama, "soft" lightning and film stock, '70s sci-fi fashions, methodical pace, and use of an overture all make it feel more like a roadshow historical epic from the '60s than the relatively-modern Khan. Their intent was to imitate 2001: A Space Odyssey, but coming after Star Wars (A New Hope) it really felt its age. This film marks the first appearance of the Klingon language, which consists entirely of one-word sentences.

In fact, if you watch it with this in mind, you might spot that the finished product still hits many of the beats required of most television pilots, such as introducing the characters, and relaunching the ship, elements which weren't strictly necessary for the story that's being told here, but which make perfect sense in context of setting up the format for a new television show. This is also the explanation for the main flaw of this film: It's a 2+ hour theatrical movie with only about 45 minutes worth of story in it.

They're considered highly evolved and more intelligent and adaptable than the "primitive" humans around them, and have developed the inborn human potential for psychic abilities. They are, however, largely unfit for Starfleet (or even deep space travel) due to being too smart and too adaptable. During Starfleet's early years, there was a high rate of mysterious disappearances among ships crewed by New Humans. Eventually, a Vulcan study concluded that when they encountered new alien civilizations more advanced culturally or technologically than humanity, the New Humans would tend to feel they have more in common with said civilizations and decide to abandon Starfleet and Earth to join them. As such Starfleet was ironically forced to lower the standards on their recruitment tests somewhat if they wanted to operate efficiently.

Mixes with a bit of Hilarious in Hindsight as there were only two Voyager probes... no matter that only two were ever launched (NASA's original plans for the Voyager program were to launch several pairs of probes, but lack of budget forced them to launch just two spacecrafts). Sonak was killed in the transporter accident because he was intended to be in the film as Spock's replacement, but Leonard Nimoy agreed to come back late in pre-production, forcing them to add his introduction largely separate from everyone else. The full production history gets even more interesting, the replacement Vulcan science officer in the Phase II series was to be Xon and played by David Gautreaux, who was recast in a minor role as the Epsilon IX commander.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture / int_8cda3dc2	comment	Flawed Prototype: The Enterprise. The ship was gutted from head to toe and outfitted with brand new equipment. However, the ship still needed time to finish installing the equipment and do a proper shakedown cruise when V'ger decided to show up. The Enterprise's first attempt at warp ends up creating a wormhole that sucks up an asteroid and are forced to use photon torpedoes when the phasers are off-line due to being connected to the screwed up warp core. It isn't until Spock returns that the ship is in working order.

In Star Trek: First Contact, also scored by Jerry Goldsmith, the Borg's leitmotif is very similar to V'ger's leitmotif from this movie, perhaps lending credence to the popular fan theory that the "planet of machines" was the Borg homeworld. This is also somewhat supported by Spock, who has been telepathically receiving some thoughts from V'ger, saying that "Any show of resistance would be futile, Captain." A slower mix of the main theme from Star Trek: The Original Series plays when Kirk is delivering his Captain's Log.

Downplayed with V'ger's first attack on the Enterprise. The same attack that wiped out three Klingon battle cruisers at the beginning of the movie with one shot each is largely dissipated by the shields, and what little residual energy gets through only lights up the warp core for a bit and fries poor Chekov's hands. However, Scotty immediately notes that shields were depleted by 70% with just one attack, so the next shot will definitely kill them.

The V'ger probe is interrupted by Spock, who it then zaps in retaliation. Decker then tries to help Spock, and is also zapped. Then it outright vaporizes Ilia, who did absolutely nothing to provoke it. The probe would have also killed a security officer prior to her, but they cut his death to give Ilia's more dramatic weight. Originally, they planned to kill Chekov. Thankfully for the sake of the sequels they didn't know they would be making, it was decided that it would be more dramatic if Kirk listed Decker and Ilia as the only casualties at the end. Not wearing red shirts didn't seem help the Klingons, the two crew members horribly mangled by the transporters, or the crew of the Epsilon IX station. The crewman who Spock neck-pinches before stealing a thruster suit has a reddish-brown uniform, the closest we see to an actual red shirt. He survives the movie.

Kirk's response is a flat, affectless 'Oh my God.' without a change of expression. Albeit justified in the fact that over the 5 years Kirk spent exploring aboard the Enterprise, heâ€™s seen a LOT weirder things happen. Kirk, Bones and Decker standing on the Enterprise saucer without spacesuits. It was a tense situation but youâ€™d think somebody would have looked around in awe.

Deltans (Ilia's race) are highly sexual and view humans as immature when it comes to sex, and more to the point having sex with a non-Deltan can potentially kill their partner (because it involves a blending of minds as well as bodies). Deltans are compelled to take a vow of celibacy in order to join Starfleet. Just about everything in Deltan society is sexual on some level, even greetings. The issues became apparent when the Deltans killed the first contact team entirely by accident.
