It has interpersonal conflict, heroics, hubris, and a brilliant reveal about V’ger’s true nature. The Enterprise is the only ship within intercept range of the cloud, because how else is Kirk going to have an excuse to take over command? The Motion Picture shows its age more than most of the other films of the franchise, but was a perfect vehicle to move the Enterprise and her crew from the small screen to the theater. The plot is pure Trek: An energy cloud housing a living machine is headed for Earth, destroying everything in its wake. The ponderous pacing and pure 70s-ness of the costumes makes The Motion Picture a slog, but at least it’s a spectacular slog.

At no point is a viewer not acutely aware that this movie had to happen to get Spock back on the Enterprise, and it almost isn’t worth it. You could generously call it an homage to Trek’s humble beginnings, but it’s very strange after the lush visuals of Khan. Also, the entire film looks bizarrely cheap. Thus begins a “how do we get Spock’s consciousness back into his newly reborn body” reverse-heist film that is crammed full with awkward moments. After his sacrifice saves the Enterprise from certain destruction, Spock’s casket is shot into space, eventually settling on the Genesis planet.
On the plus side, it has Christopher Lloyd as a Klingon.
