Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979): 2.5 Stars

The film picks up after the original 60s TV show with the USS Enterprise undergoing some reappraising procedures while in Earth’s orbit, former Captain James T. Kirk is now an Admiral as well as the Chief of Starfleet Operations. The conflict in this film begins when a massive cloud of energy that’s housing a powerful alien life force is discovered to be on a course heading right for mother Earth, we are led to believe it is evil due to the fact that it destroys a few Klingon and Starfleet ships in the opening. And guess what? It’s the USS Enterprise’s lucky day as it is the closest ship to intercept this cloud. Not only do they need to intercept it, but they need to test the ship’s new transit systems while en-route.

Why Conan the Barbarian is the Greatest Film Ever

Staring at the title I have now written at the top of my page, I realise now that I really must justify the disputable statement I have just declared to be true.
