That's the true conflict of the narrative. Try watching it a second time, and tell me it isn't boring. Seriously. Any good movie should be rewatchable, and this one isn't. Keep in mind this comes from a huge Star Trek fan. Deliberate vs. Plodding.

That’s the true conflict of the narrative.

I have to agree with hossrex on the conflict of the narrative, though; the film struggles between being deliberate and being plodding. That said, to me, "The Motion Picture" is everything that comprises the best of "Star Trek". Perhaps it's because my first major experience with "Star Trek" was "The Next Generation," I feel that the true soul of Star Trek is in plots like these: labyrinthine ones that are comprised of futuristic dilemmas like sentient A. I., alien technologies and alien beings, and the resolution of conflict through the finding of peace (as opposed to Kahn's "blow him up or be blown up"). I must, I do enjoy this film.

Much obliged. Ignore that first “I must,” in my last post, there, if you would. Much obliged.
