I have been watching Star Trek and after going through the original series, the animated series and season 1 of the next generation, i thought i should watch one of the movies!

I really had to fight my way through the motion picture. The pace was so slow and much of it mostly showed characters staring at something or someone. It was great to see the characters again though even though they had aged more that i had expected.

I feel like the only person who loves this movie. Its slow pacing allowed the weirdness of the mystery build and have time for bad theories to build before laying out what's actually happening.

You're not the only one! I like it better than most of the other Star Trek movies.

I also really enjoy it!

Love TMP. I like a film that takes its time and builds a mood.

I’ll also never get tired of loving beauty shots of the gorgeous 1701 refit.

I do think it runs a little slow in parts. The 1701 beauty shots were gorgeous, but they lasted forever.

The counterpoint is all the good stuff in the movie. Seeing Kirk as an outsider on the Enterprise was interesting. The warp malfunction sequence is trippiness that's never been equaled in Trek. The entire ending and reveal are, perhaps nowadays parodied to death, but for the time great (even if it is just big budget Changeling).
