8. The best description of the movie I've ever heard
Edited on Tue Jun-29-04 09:07 AM by Love Bug
The best description of ST:TMP I've ever heard is that it was good science fiction but bad Star Trek. Star Trek is fundamentally a space opera--ST:TMP was much too cerebral for that. Change the actors and the other ST trappings and this movie probably would be on the same pedestal as 2001: A Space Odyssey.

On edit: By saying "much too cerebral" I don't mean to suggest space opera can't be intelligent or deliver a message. ST was excellent at delivering messages and making you think.
