With that said, I don't feel like there was enough time spent on character development for people who didn't know the characters from the TV show.
There's a lot of time in the film spent on showing the numerous special effects shots and set pieces they created for the film.
STAR TREK BEYOND FULL MOVIE OK.RU SERIES
Yes, the tone and feel of the film is the same as the series but I think it was lacking the magic. Obviously, you know that the dynamic between the two will have plenty of tension knowing there's two captains in the same ship, but it doesn't go to the extent that a normal Hollywood film would do. Kirk replaced the new head of the enterprise, Decker. Captain Kirk returned back to his position as head of the Starship Enterprise. The enterprise this time is investigating an alien spacecraft that gets mysteriously close to earth, known as V'Ger. Overall, I think I can say I enjoyed watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture as it brings back all of the same characters and dynamics from the original series, but the story dragged and I don't feel like this was the particular plot they should have revolved the first feature film around. The story for this film is embroiled in mystery as we don't even know who or what the villain is for close to an hour and a half.
The special effects are dated, but sometimes that can be forgiven if the story around it is epic (Original Star Wars). The first hour of this film is quite a drag. I feel the same can be said about the first Star Trek film (The Motion Picture). He talked about how the pacing of the first Star Wars film was considered rapid at the time but by today's standards, pretty slow. I've heard George Lucas talk about the change of pacing between films of the 1970's and of films now.
