I don't find it to be 'bad', but it's not exactly my cup of tea. There's some great stuff in it, but it really does drag. If it's on I'll watch it, and I own it on DVD... along with all the other movies, so nothing special there.

I think as a standard TV episode it could be good, even in the top ten. But the loooooong scenes mixed with the unfortunate uniform choice makes it hard to actually enjoy it.

It's basically a movie version of The Changeling. V'Ger = Nomad.

They did a TMP directors cut and it was actually longer and so much better paced. They basically ran out of time in the edit.

An alternate name was "Star Trek-The Motionless Picture"
