A necessary movie that has some great moments, but not much to string the moments together. The next one (as you mention) is much better. Also directed by Nimoy, but seems to be much more firmly in Nimoy's wheelhouse. Nimoy knows those seven characters, and putting those outrageous characters in a more "mundane" setting seems to have been a better fit for him. Well done Mr. Nauertz. Oh... and I checked out Nimoy's fatchick photogallary on Amazon. I was using a friends computer one time, and opened the wrong folder, only to find images of a similar ilk. I can't help but think Nimoy's reasoning for doing this was similar to my friends reason for having them.

Inspired by you, Dale, I've decided to start working my way through the "Star Trek" movies as well (though I've already seen most of them, and likely the majority of the hundreds of television episodes produced, even those of "The Animated Series," which, for sheer consistency, is actually better than the original series), and am preparing to put "The Motion Picture" into the old PS3. Long shots of ships meandering through space, ho! Speaking of dialing performances to “11,” any chance of a “This Is Spinal Tap” review?
