If ever there was a Star Trek movie that needed an improvement in both art and reputation?

That movie, The Motion Picture, was criticized by critics as boring and barren when it came out, the Trek fandom's nickname is "The Motionless Picture." The process of reviewing the film, with the Director's Edition, was born in the DVD era in 2001 for two reasons. A better version of that movie became obscure and impossible to find.

For most people to see now, twenty years after Wise's edited film debuted. The film gets its second adaptation in the form of a 4K remaster. For Paramount+, you can buy a one-of-a-kind book that talks about troubled film production and creative failures. Paramount wants a Star TV series. New Trek until money freezes and ignores advertisers

The expensive show became the only movie of the week. Until the time Star Wars (and Close Encounters) engulfed the whole story in 1977, the bosses wanted a piece of the late '70s sci-fi movie pie and upgraded the Trek project to a high-budget movie. Except that none of the material is made up of film quality. And the effect house is not suitable for the job at hand.
