2023-12-17 05:44:09 +0000 UTCThis film was considered one of the worst in the franchise but historic as the first for Trekkies, those TV series fans from all over the world and likely the birth of fan reaction phenomena leading up to the first Comic-Con in San Diego known for fans dressing up as their favorite characters. Too much focus on plot vs. characters but I liked it.

2023-12-16 08:29:39 +0000 UTCIf you enjoyed this, CAssie, I think you will absolutely love Star Trek II.

2023-12-15 04:04:01 +0000 UTCThis is a very very thick accented Scottish with uniquely Scottish words thrown in. If you do a search, you can find a variation that has the captions and it makes a lot more sense!
Kristin D
2023-12-14 20:27:48 +0000 UTCIf you listen to it again, she says "I think they made 4 movies...." She didn't say she was only going to watch 4.
Kristin D
2023-12-14 20:25:44 +0000 UTCAs do I, MotoDork.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-12-14 16:40:54 +0000 UTCMe too.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-12-14 16:40:35 +0000 UTCNot for me. I love spending time in this world. The longer the better.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-12-14 16:39:51 +0000 UTC5 is my least favorite with the original crew... and I still enjoy it.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-12-14 16:39:04 +0000 UTCYou are absolutely right, Stan the Man. I agree with everything you said. This is a great film for all of the reasons you mentioned. It's actually my favorite Trek movie.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-12-14 16:36:18 +0000 UTCThe difference is you have to listen to the songs on the album to know that you don't like them so that you can skip them on subsequent plays. Cassie won't know whether she likes these or not until she sees them. I predict she's going to want to watch all 6 after she gets through the first 4 because she loves the characters.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-12-14 16:32:43 +0000 UTCI agree with you, Andrew. This is a rich, intelligent and spectacular movie. Yes, it's slow but it's not dull. Like 2001 and SOLARIS, it's hypnotic, mesmerizing, deep, thoughtful and positively gorgeous to look at (which was a bold thing to attempt only a couple years after the fast-paced whiz bang pleasures of STAR WARS).. It's actually my favorite Trek movie. Is WRATH OF KHAN better? Well, it's different. It's more interested in action and excitement than majesty and ideas, but that's fine. I love that one too and Cassie will almost certainly enjoy it more. I'm just pleased that she liked this one as I think it's a woefully under-appreciated Trek film.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-12-14 16:27:06 +0000 UTCI don't think I have anticipated a Cassie watch more than Star Trek II!! Hurrrrryyyyyyy.....................
Scott Macaulay
2023-12-14 15:09:01 +0000 UTCGot it. Understood. True enough, they need more context. Well thought out reply. I appreciate that.
Andrew Gilliam
2023-12-14 13:41:08 +0000 UTCTwo nobodies were the stars? They are IN the movie but they aren’t the stars. And so what? They are new characters. Every movie has new characters. A lot of episodes had new characters. Very odd criticism. Saying this is like Doomsday Machine and Changeling would be like saying Wrath of Khan is just Space Seed meets Balance of Terror. Sure there are common elements but there are just as many differences. Again, out of all the Trek movies, TMP is the one that is most like Star Trek the TV show. I guess it all depends on what you watch Trek for. I love the characters. The characters and the world they exist in.
Stan the Man
2023-12-14 13:04:28 +0000 UTCDont get me wrong im a star trek fan. But not this movie. By silly i didnt mean it was stupid. But its pretty much just made up science. Not uncommon for a fictional film/tv series obviously. But the more invested you are in something like Star Trek the more you just tend to accept what you see on the screen as making sense even in a fcitional context. Someone like Cassie watching this film for the first time was obviously confused by certain details that watching 3 episodes of the TV show didn't really give her the understanding of the sort of Star Trek language for lack of a better term. I obviously dont mean it was over her head, i mean its star trek. I mean in a why is that like that or why didn't they just do that sort of way. I also don't think this was slow and outdated because im looking at it from a modern perspective. I saw this movie when i was a kid and it debuted on TV. Even at the time having seen other Sci-Fi films and TV shows i thought it didn't work very well. Its not insultingly bad, its not punch yourself in the face boring. Its just a poor effort.
Don
2023-12-14 09:42:23 +0000 UTCShe said in the live video on YouTube that she'll probably watch 3/4 more. And why endure godawful movies if you don't have to? Especially when there's a plethora of good / great movies out there she's yet to watch. Tell me you never skipped songs on an album that you don't like.
rakesh
2023-12-14 08:21:41 +0000 UTCLet’s see if we can manage Cassie’s meals and outfits too, while we’re at it…
Jason Chirevas
2023-12-14 06:52:37 +0000 UTCWhy do we go through this skip-this, watch-that nonsense with every franchise Cassie watches? It’s six movies. Now five. She’s interested in continuing. Just let it happen.
Jason Chirevas
2023-12-14 06:48:47 +0000 UTCVery happy to see Cassie enjoy TMP as it was meant to be enjoyed, as a story about exploration, mystery, philosophy, and intelligence — and as a cinematic spectacle with images and effects meant to inspire awe and wonder. It’s, of course, not flawless, but it’s heartening to see TMP make new fans.
Jason Chirevas
2023-12-14 06:41:38 +0000 UTCSo say we all....
ContrabandDonut
2023-12-14 01:18:34 +0000 UTCJust to say (and this isn't pointed at anyone): Paramount, I think CBS owned Paramount back then never committed to Star Trek movies, even after their critical and box offices success, Paramount kept them on a short leash. I think I remember Leonard Nimoy or maybe it was Shatner saying this. But back in the 1980s was anyone guaranteed a sequel?
ContrabandDonut
2023-12-14 01:10:19 +0000 UTCThat's Stephen Collins? No way!! Holy crackers. Is there anything redeeming that Catherine Hicks/Whatshername - his TV wife on 7th Heaven- was the whale scientist in 4? No? I tried. A year ago I was home for the hospital from major major surgery, and I'm going to say because of pain meds the first night back, I streamed a little of 7th Heaven cause I couldn't sleep. That was a tough watch. I found something else after three episodes.
ContrabandDonut
2023-12-14 00:51:50 +0000 UTCI waited ten long years for them to make the movie, and two nobody's were the stars. The plot was a messy hybrid of "The Changeling" and "Doomsday Machine" and showed zero imagination or novelty. You'd think after a decade they could have come up with an original plot.
Ronald Carpenter
2023-12-14 00:21:44 +0000 UTCFor those drool over sci-fi models sure, but I had to wait ten long years for the studios to make the movie, and when they finally did the whole story revolved around two nobody nothing strangers no one ever heard of in the Star Trek realm. And the story basis, a blurry hybrid of "The Changling" and Doomsday Machine"
Ronald Carpenter
2023-12-14 00:18:45 +0000 UTC32:07 44:33 !!! How'd you do? Amazing. (44:40 Did I hear that right? Help the orphan child get Da-da? :-) ) 46:59 "Is something wrong with me?" Not at all. 😉 😂
Happy Hanukkah
2023-12-13 22:26:41 +0000 UTCIt reminds me of that line in Edgar Wright's TV series Spaced when Simon Pegg's character says: "It's a fact of life sure as eggs is eggs and every odd numbered Star Trek film is shit." He later appeared in Star Trek (2009) which was the eleventh film. He later said, quoted on IMDB "Fate put me in that film to show I was talking out of my ass.".
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2023-12-13 21:52:13 +0000 UTC4:15 Ah, I see, Cassie. All Klingons look alike to you. Hmph! :-) :-) :-) 11:21 I am not a sailor; I am a Captain, dammit! 13:45 "Mr Spock and I had an act that couldn't flop..."
Happy Hanukkah
2023-12-13 21:48:17 +0000 UTCYes, that has slightly tainted All the President's Men (1976) for me...
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2023-12-13 21:44:45 +0000 UTCDisagree Don. Star Trek has always been a thinking person's series, both in the Television shows and Movies. This one works except the edit is a bit slow. Blame that on the society at the time. We demand, due to the internet, instant gratification. That's why the edit was "slow". If the same movie were made today, it could be done in an hour and thirty minutes. I will admit however, that Wrath of Khan is much better. Star Trek 4, the Voyage home, in my opinion, is the best of the 6 movies with original crew.
Andrew Gilliam
2023-12-13 20:43:36 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed Cassie’s reaction but even the directors version of this film is so dull. It was slow and outdated even when it was new. It’s fun to see Cassie’s confusion at a lot of this stuff as it shows how silly Star Trek is when you aren’t more immersed in it. But now that’s out the way we can get to Wrath of Khan which is a whole new ball game.
Don

2023-12-13 20:12:37 +0000 UTCI *love* foreign television. This show seems very promising, did they ever do an English version? :-)

Kristin D
2023-12-13 17:47:18 +0000 UTCI can see why people skip 3 when it is watched alone. But given that Cassie is brand new to the Trek universe, it would be a shame for her to miss out on that one. It's a bridge between 2 and 4 and there are some funny and solid moments in it. It explores the Vulcan mythos, sheds light on Spock, and has some classic Kirk moments along with some solid character building for him. Plus that specific scenario plays into his reactions in 6. She should definitely not skip 3 upon her first watch of the movies. I would never suggest 5, but I won't begrudge her if she does watch it, and will watch her reaction regardless. 6 is probably my favorite of the 6 movies. The story is tight, some of the best character interactions in the movie and a wonderful send off for a great crew.
Kristin D
2023-12-13 17:46:51 +0000 UTCIf you're referring to "The Abyss", it's in the back catalog.(And will probably hit 200k views by the end of the month. Just sayin'. (w00t!)).
Cheshire
2023-12-13 15:52:15 +0000 UTC3 is skippable it's recapped in 4. Half the film is Spock in a giant sunglasses case. If she misses 6, she misses the swansong. And if any of you suggest she watch 5, i know you're trolling.
rakesh
2023-12-13 15:28:17 +0000 UTCYou misunderstand. The dynamics and plot are like an episode. But make no mistake. This IS a movie. And a very splendid one. I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a plot more like an episode. There’s a real mystery here with an awe & grandeur to this movie missing in the other Trek films. What is V’Ger? Why is it doing this? Where does it come from? Spock’s mind meld, Jerry Goldsmith score, the visuals, and yes even the deliberate pacing. Look I love Wrath of Khan. Wonderful movie. Terrific action/adventure film. But which movie is more like Star Trek? It’s TMP. For better or worse. In an era of Star Wars it’s easy to see why this movie disappointed some at the time. This has more in common with 2001 a Space Odyssey than Star Wars. They even have similar plots if you really think about it. I’m glad it’s reputation has slowly grown over time. Some find it boring, and I get that. I understand that. I disagree but I get it. This movie is great ship porn. The beautiful shots of the enterprise are just mouth wateringly amazingly. The entire space dock sequence with Goldsmiths score? My god. The model work is 2nd to none.
Stan the Man
2023-12-13 15:17:02 +0000 UTCI'd love to see that with Carly also. It's thrilling but but gory, gross, super scary. I think you both will love the ride!

2023-12-13 15:07:58 +0000 UTCHey Lamar,you're not bothering me ..you can address any channel issues to Cassie via Patreon & Instagram..wish I could do more to help but,that's all I got.
Celeste McAllister
2023-12-13 14:29:09 +0000 UTCI consider this to be the best Trek film.
MotoDork
2023-12-13 13:21:33 +0000 UTCI think she was a little confused thinking that there are only 4 movies. But I reckon by the end she will watch all 6.
Kristin D
2023-12-13 13:21:01 +0000 UTCDef. Don’t skip the third film.
MotoDork
2023-12-13 13:20:30 +0000 UTCJust realizing that Cassie recognized the father from 7th Heaven. She's going to absolutely go nuts over the female lead in the 4th movie.
Kristin D
2023-12-13 13:11:35 +0000 UTCI forgot that the main theme song for this was used as the TNG show theme
Matt O'Keefe
2023-12-13 12:54:51 +0000 UTCThis is better then Star Trek imo. 🤣🤣🤣😂 https://youtu.be/xar7Q2PpyIA?si=x5LYFF2pAsrVLJur

2023-12-13 11:23:13 +0000 UTCHow do you do that, my friend?
Lamar Smith
2023-12-13 10:59:22 +0000 UTCI think the whole point is that it's a movie. It shouldnt be like an extra long episode. It should have been like a movie. They did managed to figure it out in 2 4 and 6.
rakesh
2023-12-13 10:51:29 +0000 UTCYou can mail her via the patron system
rakesh
2023-12-13 10:46:15 +0000 UTCShe has to watch 2, 3 and 4. They’re a trilogy.

rakesh
2023-12-13 10:44:49 +0000 UTCYou must watch 2 4 and 6. I know in the live you said you'll only watch four altogether
rakesh
2023-12-13 09:41:24 +0000 UTCStumbled upon this short video on YT about the moment where Persis Khambatta's head is shaved for the movie: https://youtu.be/WHgdGTQiVbc
Gábor Árki
2023-12-13 08:51:39 +0000 UTCSpecial nostalgic place in my heart for this one. certainly not the best one but whenever i am sick and laid up in bed it's one of my go to movies to pass the time.
Jack Pflieder
2023-12-13 05:57:40 +0000 UTCI will never understand the hate this movie gets. This is Star Trek. It’s the same beloved characters on a discovery and adventure. Yes there’s no much action but there doesn’t need to be. The movie is a marvel to behold. The model work is…just beautiful. Jerry Goldsmith’s score is terrific. The plot is interesting/mysterious. Anyone who says they are a Trek fan and doesn’t like this movie, I just don’t get it. It’s like an extra long episode of the series. If this were an episode of the series it would be ranked as one of the best. To give people an idea of the budget difference. Star Wars, was made in 1976/77 for about 11-12million dollars. Star Trek TMP was made for 40-45 million. This was the most expensive movie ever made at the time.

2023-12-13 05:50:26 +0000 UTCIt’s probably best you stopped reading the guy from 7th Heaven’s Wikipedia where you did. Cause, um, DAMN. What a monster
Stan the Man
2023-12-13 05:42:16 +0000 UTCDoes the director's cut have the scene where they scrape the Enterprise against the space port as they first pull out of it?

2023-12-13 05:31:56 +0000 UTCI was a big Trekkie as a kid & had to tie my fingers a part so they learned to do the Vulcan salute (it eventually took). Stoked you’re watching these. Wrath of Khan is just so good.
Morgan A. Colbert
2023-12-13 05:21:19 +0000 UTCI'm not mad that you're watching this film; I've always thought that it was unfairly criticized, even if it's far from the best in the series, and I like the fact that it's real sci-fi with a connection to the NASA space program, which has always been a subtext of Star Trek. BUT - I am concerned about Star Treks 3 and 5. 3 is so cringey and campy - but it's a masterpiece compared to 5, which is a contender for worst film ever made. The only reason I'm concerned about your watching these movies is that I'm afraid they may make you give up on Star Trek and not stick around for the good ones: I know everyone loves 2, and I do too, but I think 6 is at least as good, and I really want you to see it, which you might not if you force yourself to sit through 3 and especially 5. (4 is fun - it's kind of like the Tribble episode, kind of goofy - but 6 is like an excellent episode of TOS at its best. 5 is so pretentious and almost in the so-bad-it's-good category but it isn't really.)

2023-12-13 05:08:00 +0000 UTCYes, this movie was a bit ponderous. They could' have easily cut out 30 minutes of it.

2023-12-13 04:19:07 +0000 UTCCassie, I am deeply offended by your ostentatious "inability" to do the Vulcan salute, and on Hanukkah, of all days! :-P More seriously, don't worry about it; we Trekkies are very understanding. If you can't do the salute, just say "May the Force be with you," and all will be good.
Happy Hanukkah
2023-12-13 03:40:38 +0000 UTCThis Star Trek movie is probably the second worst one that there is. They were responding to the Star Wars success, and while the concept was okay, I'm not sure the execution was that great. It does help explain the time lapse between the show and the movies, though. Typically the best Star Trek movies are the even numbered ones, with 3 being required watching. So I personally would have said to watch 2-4 and then 6. PS: "Love you, mean it" had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2023-12-13 03:31:32 +0000 UTCCassie you need to stick your thumb out first, then spread your fingers that is how I learned to do it in 1972!

2023-12-13 02:53:37 +0000 UTCCassie, I’m so sorry to clog up your boards. I ordered merch and it’s got the wrong delivery address. I’m worried they won’t make it time for Xmas. They’re stocking stuffers for McKenzie. Could you please help. I’ll do whatever it takes to make it right
Lamar Smith
2023-12-13 02:52:56 +0000 UTCGreat Reaction. I will overlook the "Star Wars" slips. lol Hope you get to The Next Generation soon. ALL episodes. Acting is superior to the original series.

2023-12-13 01:58:10 +0000 UTCHey James,I'm sure she'll do exactly that,like she's been doing,I love her "I want to put myself in the theatre at the time of release"approach.👍👍it's not the expensive visual effects that was the biggest part of the whole production,more money in the writers budget was all ST needed, I love the Enterprise-A..I'd be sitting in Sulu's chair!
Celeste McAllister
2023-12-13 01:49:06 +0000 UTCProbably my least fave of the Star Trek original cast movies, but looking forward to the reaction! Thanks Cassie!

2023-12-13 01:48:05 +0000 UTCHey Celeste, I'm a bit apprehensive about this reaction. But I'm sure Cassie understands the special effects limitations of the time and will not try to make any unnecessary comparisons. Enjoy! 👴

2023-12-13 01:19:34 +0000 UTCI'm a Trekkie of the first order from the beginning. We'll get over it. Carry on Cassie. Lol
Brent Fugett
2023-12-13 01:19:34 +0000 UTCThat was a great reaction. I like films that don't answer everything, but give the audience an emotional mystery about cosmic stuff and still deliver compelling characters including V'ger and you are so right...some of the shots especially Kirk flying around the Enterprise for the first time in years are way too long. Oh, well, a good story and based on the the original series episode The Changeling but big time expanded.
Robert Jewell
2023-12-13 01:18:29 +0000 UTCCassie, you're really going to annoy Trekkies if you keep calling it 'Star Wars'.
Francis X. Lord
2023-12-13 01:11:57 +0000 UTCYour ending recap was pretty spot on. Also, I found the vulcan salute takes practice to do. You'll get there.
Lawrence Adams
2023-12-13 01:07:31 +0000 UTCCassie, maybe you have carpal tunnel syndrome?
Stephen Malloy
2023-12-13 01:03:52 +0000 UTCYou are such a delight Cassie, thank you! You are definitely in for a treat. Given that you liked this, the rest of movies are so much better (except for possibly #5, but you might enjoy that too). A little faster paced, with some action, good stories, fun character interactions. Nice story arc over movies 2-4. It's really cool to see new folks come to Star Trek, something my mother introduced me to, and something my husband and I have endlessly enjoyed over the years.

2023-12-13 00:40:51 +0000 UTC45:05 Douglas Trumbull was and is celebrated in special visual effects. He also worked on Stanley Kubrick's landmark sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) which is arguably one of the most influential films in science fiction. To quote Steven Spielberg (from Channel 4's 100 Greatest Films): "Without 2001, there never would have been a Star Wars, and there never would have been a Close Encounters" I really hope Cassie watches 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) one day

2023-12-13 00:35:05 +0000 UTCExcellent! Glad you're watching TMP. It's not a fan favorite by any stretch but I can still remember the thrill of watching the crew reassemble on a new Enterprise. Looking forward to this!!!
