I watched this movie again this past weekend & it's probably been at least a decade since I last saw it. On blu-ray this movie is a little better than I remembered. It's certainly better at a higher-resolution. This is my favorite Enterprise design from the entire "Trek" history. The musical score is still great. "Ilia's Theme" is just a beautiful piece of music.
Biggest complaint is probably that it felt more like a really long episode of the TV show, however I think this movie is better understood when you consider the factors surrounding it: --Reunion of the cast of a show that was loved by many --First time they were on the big screen (it was not common to make a movie out of a previously existing TV show) --Infighting among the producers/scriptwriters
This article is some great background on what was going on: http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/star-trek/39338/star-trek-the-battle-to-make-the-motion-picture
You don't have to like this movie, but perhaps that background info will make you hate it a little less.
