Star Trek- The Motion Picture Appreciation Thread

Yeah, for me that Kimble poster was probably the high water mark of Trek merchandising and tech fiction. I won mine at Circus Circus in Las Vegas in a dart-throwing game. That must have been months before the movie came out, because I was on summer vacation, even though Memory Alpha says the poster came out in 1980. Maybe I'm confusing somethign, but the only time I was there was the summer of '79. That poster hung in my room all through my teen years.

Apparently Kimble did not have a good experience working with Paramount.

He didn't? That's a shame. I always thought that poster was exceptional.

To me, the Enterprise in TMP is The Enterprise. Period. Nothing's matched it before or since. I really feel like I'm on a space ship when watching this movie. It's not over-designed, it's not under-designed, it's just right. And it's timeless.
