Ten years after the [[Cancellation]] of the original ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' series, it had been [[Vindicated by Cable|Vindicated By Reruns]] and so Paramount decided to make [[The Movie]] with none other than [[Robert Wise]] (director of ''[[The Day the Earth Stood Still]]'', ''[[West Side Story]]'' and ''[[The Sound of Music]]'') at the helm. As a side note, the general story is nearly identical to the [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Original Series]] episode "The Changeling", with elements from "Obsession" and the [[Star Trek: The Animated Series|Animated Series]] episode "One Of Our Planets Is Missing" -- and in fact the movie's story was intended to be the pilot of the abandoned ''[[Star Trek]]: Phase II''. |

The plot sounds simple enough. An unstoppable entity calling itself V'Ger is heading towards Earth, destroying all in its path, and the ''Enterprise'' is sent out to investigate. The story was originally written to be 45 minutes, stretched to 2½ hours, most of which involved the bridge crew staring at special effects in awe. Wise's declared intent at the time was to create a ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' for that era. |
