you're wrong. You're getting your information from a William Shatner book. For those not privy, Shatner wrote that the planet that V'ger came into contact with that gave it sentient life was the Borg homeworld. Finding it a kindred spirit, they sent it back towards Earth so it could find its creator. There was nothing considered canon about any of it though

The way how Kirk looks at the new Enterprise is one of the best moment of the whole saga.

I would like to see the Enterprise battle a Klingon Cruiser - K'Tinga class battlecruiser. Not a Bird of Prey. That would be a real fight!

Yes Jerry Did a great job, BUT still Star Trek:The Motion Picture is about as exciting as watching grass grow. IT was so damn slow and boring and when the ship finally go to it's desstination, there was NOTHING for us to see. EVEN the directors cut which is better, cannot save us from the rentless idiotic boring screenplay. Star Trek 2 got it, it is about Humans and Human feelings and friendship. NOT this mess.

He/she is referring to what the game: Star Trek: Legacy says in one of it's in-game movies.

I like them myself like.

But they were waaaaaaaaay over-used in the post-TNG series'. DS9 especially.

They are. My favorit is the NCC 1701-B. I'm a fan of the Excelsior-Class starships.

There are no TOS effects put into the film, I assure you of that. They created intermediate sounds for the DC, and pulled some from TWOK to try and sound like a go-between. Needless to say I am not a fan of the DC.

The Falcon, as Han Solo himself put it:

'Doesn't look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.'

Whereas the Enterprise (all incarnations) is a big, beautiful mother of a starship.

Perfectly summed up.

This Enterprise even gives the Millenium Falcon a run for its money

I thought the movie was excellent

My sentiments exactly.

I often wonder how this storyline would have played out in it's original form as an episode of Star Trek Phase II, the short-lived spin-off proposal of the early 70's.

Amen. The Enterprise was the real star of this movie. The opticals and the JG's score still make it worth watching, no matter how poorly acted it was.

I don't care what anyone says, I love the endless glory shots of the Enterprise.

It's the rest of the movie that S**ks .

Goldsmith did an amazing job however in writing the score.
