My Thoughts:
The first thing I will say is that I am glad I watched the episode Space Seed before watching this movie. While I agree it isn't absolutely necessary... I did like having the back info from the episode before watching this one. And this one I enjoyed immensely. This is more like I was expecting from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. A great story... stunning visuals... and having the characters all back again. I also really liked the addition of Kristie Alley as Saavik. I didn't realize until today that Kristie Alley ever had a role in a Star Trek movie... or that it was her first movie role. Since I never seen the first 3 movies before today... the ending came as a surprise to me as well.

Ultimately Tim helps Uncle Martin, but can he send him safely home before the world discovers thier secret?


Extras:

The fun part about this movie are the antics of Christopher Lloyd as Martin. He is just perfect at playing eccentric characters. Otherwise this movie is nothing special. Though I love the fact that Ray Walston (Martin in the original series) appears in a cameo as a Martian who has been waiting for 30 years on Earth for a chance to get back to Mars.

Miracles Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

6. The Hand of God
Paul comes under investigation by the police after a woman is found murdered in her home, leaving behind her diary where she had sketched his name and image, along with the words "God is nowhere".

Guest Stars:
Blake Bashoff
John Thaddeus
Pat Skipper
Robert Clotworthy

My Thoughts:
This is the final episode to air on ABC in it's original run. Thankfully they gave us the entire 13 episodes on this DVD collection. This episode is an interesting one as it continues with the series long storyline. But it did seem a little slow to me. This episode completes the second disc in the set.

My Rating:
