    That’s a lot of rainbow, especially considering space has no atmosphere - somewhat famously, I might add. An interesting design choice

    I only saw the first one in theater, and I was so damn young, all I really remember of the experience is some of the exterior shots. But, considering how young I was, that’s still a telling thing about how well it was done.

      Those exterior shots really stuck with me as well. I can’t imagine growing up with blurry spaceship models viewed on a CRT tv to the giant, sweeping, detailed close up and wide shots we get in that opening shuttle scene. Now people laugh about how long it goes on for but I have to imagine for a lot of fans it was still not long enough!

    Those popcorn and drink uniforms! I’ve been cutting down on my mindless collecting, but I’d totally eat and drink out of those for a month if I could get one.

        It’s crazy that Star Trek V was once considered the worst Star Trek film but is now universally considered among critics to be the greatest movie of all time.

              Genuinely, why? Bc of the philosophy points raised, I would guess? I mean it’s kinda a cool movie, and your namesake definitely is one of the greatest characters (especially the trio of them almost like Id, Superego, and Ego, or Heart, Brain, and Gut or Soul), but one of the best of all time? Wow, that’s a lot to wrap my head around.

                  Imdb gives Star Trek V a whopping 5.5/10. I mean… that’s more than a 5, if the scale were out of 5! (and the numerator was not adjusted to match) Likewise, if the denominator were out of any value less than 5, then a 5.5 rating would still be still off the charts!! (/s)

                  https://www.imdb.com/list/ls049197500/ says that Star Wars 5 (aka Empire) is one of the best movies of all time, ranking alongside Citizen Kane.
