The special effects are from 1980, so you have to give it a little forgiveness. Fortunately they don't ruin the story.

We get to see some remarkable performances here by the original cast, with some crew members that you have never seen before (or since for that matter.) Ilia and Decker have phenomenal onscreen chemistry. The effect that they were going for in this film was to present that vastness of space, which they do a fantastic job of, in even the first 10 minutes of film, we get to take a sweeping journey over the hull of the enterprise, a wonderful and now quite nostalgic trip.

The film is well written, the story is interesting, this film does what it intended very well.

While the film has a PG rating (the older video was actually G) kids will probably only get the one good watch out of it, while a more mature audience will be able to appreciate the work for what it is. I really can't suggest making this a permanent movie though, unless you are a die hard fan.
