Robert Wise adds some zip to The Motionless Picture - 4 out of 5  (10/31/2001)
When I was a kid and I had trouble falling asleep some nights (particularly on Christmas Eve), I used to plop Star Trek: The Motion Picture into the VCR.

The *BEST!* - 4.25 out of 5  (10/8/2002)

Well done - 4 out of 5  (5/13/2002)
