    If compared to The Motion Picture, I agree. But that’s quite a low bar.

    Though I do like that they included a nod to Star Trek V in Strange New Worlds.

      You clearly have not seen the new version of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I highly recommend watching it.

        What do you mean “new version”? Are they remastered it or something? I can’t seem to find where to purchase it.

          They might be talking about the director’s cut, which is definitely an improvement. I’d still call it a weaker entry in the franchise, but far better than Star Trek V.

          Aside from it being a little on the dull side, I think TMP’s biggest sin is suffering from being from the era of disco fashion.

          Did DeForest Kelley have an ‘everyone must see my chest’ contract or something?

            TMP is the one where every dude’s package can be clearly seen in the jumpsuits, right? I swear you can tell whether or not Decker is circumcised in a few scenes.

          Maybe two years ago a 4k recut came out on Paramount Plus. It really was a better movie; they left in scenes that made the whole thing make more sense than the original version. I highly recommend you watch it especially if you don’t care for the original.
