	Star Trek: A Motion Picture History, In Film Australia
		Indeed, I would have to say that Star Trek: The Motion Picture (as it was called) is probably the worst film of the current set of Star Trek films, and certainly pales in comparison with the warmth and richness of its successors.
		Star Trek VI is undoubtedly a film of high quality, and with the introduction of computer effects we see an exciting new edge to Star Trek films that is to take full shape in the future.
		Star Trek: First Contact is the type of film that could be totally disassociated with Star Trek, and still be a success.

	Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Memory Alpha
		The plot and script emerged from the failed pilot for Star Trek: Phase II, "In Thy Image".The film was adapted as a novel and as a three-part comic.
		The official Star Trek Encyclopedia, written by Michael Okuda, places TMP in 2271, stating that it took place two years after the end of the last five-year mission.
		Star Trek and related names are trademarks of Paramount Pictures, and are used under "fair use" guidelines.

		Plot Outline: When a destructive space entity is spotted approaching Earth, Admiral Kirk resumes command of the Starship Enterprise in order to intercept, examine, and hopefully stop it.
		"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" relaunched the USS Enterprise and its crew led by Captain Kirk (William Shatner) into a dangerous mission.
		A stunning and beautifully designed film that explores many deep issues and is sadly underrated by many "Star Trek" fans.

	Star Trek: The Motion Picture
		The most popular of all the Trek soundtracks, this was (finally) re-released last year by Columbia/Legacy, and we at last get to hear it in MOST of it's glory.
		Unlike most people, I actually enjoy the movie (Star Trek is SUPPOSED to be philosophical, people!), even though I get sick of the ludicrous excuses just to show special effects, but I enjoy the soundtrack a great deal.

	Review: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture arrived in the wake of Star Wars and, with Paramount's publicity department in high gear, the general public was expecting something as big, loud, and exciting as George Lucas' 1977 adventure.
		Had The Motion Picture merely suffered from a lumbering plot or awkward characterization, it would have been remembered more kindly than is commonly the case.
		Perhaps the greatest strength of Star Trek: The Motion Picture is that, despite a badly-paced middle, it boasts a strong beginning and end.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE (1979)
		Trek fans were just happy that new material was being produced and would have gone to see just about anything bearing the Trek name and featuring their favorite characters.
		Goldsmith's work was of such quality that several themes originating here were used in subsequent Trek incarnations, including the main theme also becoming the theme for Trek's return to the small screen in "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
		Also detailed is the mad rush to complete the picture on time, which is described as "miraculous" as to what actually got achieved by the filmmakers.

	Review: Star Trek - The Motion Picture: Director's Edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Now, with the advent of DVDs and the proliferation of special editions, numerous big-budget (and some not-so-big-budget) motion pictures are being given a second life in a format that is often quite different from the original version.
		Star Trek - The Motion Picture: Director's Edition is no 2001 (its obvious inspiration - a fact that is more evident here than ever before), but it represents thought-provoking, well constructed science fiction.
		Star Trek - The Motion Picture: Director's Edition vaults this movie from a position as one of the weakest entries in the long-running film series to a perch as one of the strongest.

	DVD Verdict Review - Star Trek: The Motion Picture
		Rather than having a Star Trek that resembled Star Wars with its gee-whiz space battles and clear-cut good vs. evil, audiences were treated to a moody, thoughtful Star Trek: The Motion Picture that had less to do with space opera and had more in common with your average episode of Masterpiece Theater.
		This was certainly the case with Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979, and it remains the case in 2001.
		Star Trek: The Next Generation was made possible by the films, which was made possible by the original show becoming popular in syndication.

	Audio Science Fiction Reviews: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Original Soundtrack
		ith at least one Star Trek TV program on-the-air nearly every day and an ongoing series of theatrical films and literary tie-ins that seem to multiply like Tribbles, it can sometimes be difficult to remember the excitement sparked by the debut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture two decades ago.
		The liner notes contain extensive information on the various compositions, which are sequenced in the order they were presented in the picture, and both CDs are packaged in a single jewel box that slides into a holographic slipcase.
		In many respects Goldsmith has become a Star Trek fixture, creating the opening melodies for both The Next Generation and Voyager and scoring nearly half of the big-screen adventures.

	Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Director's Edition (1979)
		Paramount started to issue the Trek movies on DVD back when they initially “embraced” the format in the fall of 1998; Star Trek: First Contact was one of their earliest discs.
		Star Trek was a prestigious film for Paramount, and their support was unswerving.
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	IGN: Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Director's Edition Review
		I don't really hold any of that against the film, as it is the most "trek" of any of the Star Trek films (although The Voyage Home had a lot of the spirit in it).
		This first feature-length Star Trek adventure comes just ten years after the end of the original series, so just about everyone on the crew really doesn't look much different, and I think that is one of the plusses in the film.
		At 136 minutes, it is the longest of all nine Star Trek films, and the story it tells was really better suited for an episode of the series.

		When Gene Roddenbery got his wish to bring the long awaited Star Trek franchise to the big screen, it fell upon Jerry Goldsmith to deliver the goods.
		What he gave the picture is for some, better than what was on the screen.
		Goldsmith gave the Star Trek franchise a new theme, and an enduring one that lasts even to today in such shows as Star Trek: The Next Generation.

	Star Trek: The Motion Picture CED Web Page
		This was the first Star Trek movie available on CED, being released in the first year of production.
		The second and third movies were in stereo, but Star Trek: The Motion Picture (TMP) was only released in mono, even though the worm hole scene from the movie was featured on RCA's Stereo Demo Disc.
		The cover illustration of Star Trek: TMP reminds me a lot of the CED rainbow RCA later used on their fanfare for CED titles released in the 1982 time frame.

	The DVD Journal: Star Trek: The Motion Picture: The Director's Edition
		Star Trek: TMP may have been conceived in lofty boldly-goingness, but it wasn't even boldly walking across the street against the light.
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture: The Director's Edition celebrates two things: First, a big, fan-friendly presentation of a movie that Paramount could have released in its original form and still made a profit on.
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture is now tighter, somewhat less hollow, and possesses new special effects that mindfully support the movie without worsening the original's over-reliance on effects above human drama.

		Hardly the aimless bore it is often made out to be, Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a wonderful piece of classic-style science fiction, and as such is one of the last movies of its kind.
		In the end, Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a highly underrated film, and an excellent beginning to one of filmdom’s most enduring franchises.
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture was the Ziggy's Video Realm Pick of the Month for December, 2002.

	Amazon.com: Star Trek - The Motion Picture (1979) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Back when the first Star Trek feature was released in December 1979, the Trek franchise was still relatively modest, consisting of the original TV series, an animated cartoon series from 1973-74, and a burgeoning fan network around the world.
		This is first in the Star Trek film series and it was long-awaited after the demise of the cult classic three-season TV show.
		Star Trek the Motion Picture is definitely not the best trek ever put on screen, it's still at it's core, good trek.

		Star Trek had never been off the world's televison screens since its cancellation in the late sixties, due to constant repeats (and a brief cartoon series).
		Rather than a Star Wars-style blockbuster, it wanted to be speculative fiction in the vein of 2001: A Space Odyssey, with the wonder of Close Encounters of the Third Kind thrown in for good measure.
		Until Star Trek Nemesis came along, it was accepted by most fans that even numbered Trek movies were good, odd numbered were bad.

	Star Trek Soundtracks: Star Trek: The Motion Picture - 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The first is a sweeping heroic motif that represents the epitome of the Star Trek philosophy, used chiefly here for the Enterprise and its commander, Admiral Kirk ("Main Title", "The Enterprise" and "A Good Start").
		This became a blueprint for James Horner's Klingon theme for Star Trek II and III, as well as Ron Jones and Dennis McCarthy's compositions on the subsequent television series.
		Roddenberry was so enamored with The Motion Picture theme that when the time came to launch Star Trek: The Next Generation, he insisted that the Goldsmith theme be united with Courage's fanfare for the new series' main title.

	Star Trek: The Motion Picture (20th Anniversary Edition) - Jerry Goldsmith
		What is probably the finest score in the history of the entire Star Trek franchise, Star Trek: The Motion Picture stands out as giving the film a soul and atmosphere which it would so desperately have lacked without Goldsmith's superb music.
		From the almost impossibly grand fanfare of a main theme to the cavernous music for the alien V'Ger and the romantic music for Ilea it is perhaps his finest score, although with so many to choose from, the debate will continue.
		The original film started with the concert arrangement of Ilea's theme as befitted the biblical epics, but The Motion Picture was a lumbering space epic more in the way that 2001 was, than Star Wars.

		Although fans treasured the movie for bringing Trek back to the screen, it was also seen as a tad shallow and even a little boring.
		Star Trek : The Motion Picture - The Directors Edition is a must own disc that brings the full glory of Star Trek and the Enterprise to the screen in a way that only the advent of CGI and more importantly DVD has allowed.
		The Motion Picture is a better film for this release, but unfortunately not considerably better than it was before.

	Dark Horizons - Lots of Eye Candy
		'The Motion Picture' on the other hand is the most expensive, epic, deep and overall pure sci-fi effort the franchise ever did.
		Arriving at a time when audiences were coming off an adventure high from "Star Wars", this film proved a disappointment because it owed more to the likes of "2001" than anything George Lucas has done - its more serous filmmaking than crowd pleasing.
		Releasing them in reverse chronological order, all the previous "Star Trek" movie DVDs have been lacklustre affairs with only a trailer or two for extras, no commentary, and very good (but not the highest) quality transfers.

	theLogBook.com DVD Reviews - Star Trek: The Motion Picture
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture remains possibly my favorite movie of the entire franchise to date.

		Star Trek Phase II television series which eventually mutated into the first Star Trek feature film.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Star Trek: The Motion Picture
		The rule with Star Trek films is even-numbered films are good, odd-numbered are bad -- and the first film in the series is no exception.
		Star Trek: The Motion Picture was released at a time when sci-fi movies were expected to be long, sluggish, arty epics like Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Dune.
		To achieve the desired length and artiness, the producers of Star Trek: TMP hired director Robert Wise -- best known for overlong, dull classics like The Sound of Music -- and chose a script which was long on dialogue but short on action or character development.

	Ex Astris Scientia - Star Trek Movies
		ST:TMP is the first and only Trek movie influenced by "2001: A Space Odyssey" and takes time for long VFX scenes and excellent pointed dialogues, albeit not necessarily advancing the plot.
		Still, I appreciated the detective story (something which is not very often a topic in Star Trek) and the revelation that it's a plot by both Federation and Klingons.
		One thing that will always distinguish Star Trek from such action mass products is that here is an overall serious tone, stories about characters and an attempt to make a point beyond the mere entertainment.

		Star Trek has gotten a little out of hand with some of their endeavors, but they're all good.
		ST:TMP DE DVD is the perfect gift at anytime of the year for Star Trek, action fans and people just discovering the franchise.
