@TeamTowers1: I can't entirely disagree with you, there. ST TMP was an incredibly rushed production. They certainly should have had a more solid story/script to re-launch the series...instead, it is basically a re-hash of TOS "The Changeling". In fact, given the time pressure the studio put on the production, it is frankly a miracle that Robert Wise, along with Trumbull, and Dykstra, were able to put together an above average film, with many memorable and iconic scenes.
@Deuterium2H Wasnt there a much shorter cut of the film released at some point that did a good job condensing it into a less dull and more fast pased film?
@JmessLFC -- Obviously there wasn't enough Lens Flares and phaser battles for you. IMHO, this is one of the grandest scenes in film history. The combination of Trumbull's ground-breaking FX, Robert Wise's impeccable direction and cinematography (and masterful use of lighting), and Jerry Goldsmith's magnificent score...result in move magic. By the way, this Enterprise fly-by scene is approx. 5 minutes long, which is almost exactly the same time as the Pan Am shuttle docking sequence in 2001.
@Deuterium2H I think it worked in this scene but they did the exact same thing in everyscene in the movie and it got old fast. Dont get me wrong this scene is great but the rest of the movie is a snoozfest. I supose thats what happens when your forced drag a script ment for a one hour pilot into a full length movie
Why is it that whenever something is threatening Earth in Star Trek, one star ship is in interception range? I mean its Earth for goodness sakes. Center of both military and political power for the Federation...geez.

To Go back Aboard the Original Starship Enterprise is like Going back onto the Decks of the Nautilus....
