I liked this movie as well, even if it really takes itself a wee bit too seriously at times and pads certain scenes out to ridiculous lengths. With some scenes though, the slow, ponderous, pace works, like when they went inside V'Ger. Loved the concept of V'Ger, and just how powerful the damned thing was, and yet how simple it was at the same time.

Sure it got overshadowed by the later installments, but it was still f'n sweet.

But do you ever notice, in the movies, how many times Kirk's had to save the day against Godly beings?? V'Ger, that Whale-thing from Voyage Home, and that energy being posing as God in "Final Frontier".

Surprised he was never promoted much after the fact. I mean, you save humanity's collective ass twice from godly omnipotent beings who can easily destroy the Earth, I'd AT LEAST want a goddamn promotion. Then he went and bested a being posing as God himself, I'd be surprised if anything could get Kirk worried after that. :P
