Available reference[edit]

Hey, all -- I checked out Star Trek: The Art of the Film to fill some gaps at USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). I'll have it for a couple more weeks, and if there's any particular area of interest or need for this article (or some other you eyeball) you'd like me to check for insight/detail, drop a message here or on my talk page. --EEMIV (talk) 20:06, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"When Kirk Met Spock" listed at Redirects for discussion[edit]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect When Kirk Met Spock. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. TheAwesome Hwyh 18:22, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

other music[edit]

There is other music used in the film besides the original score, but I can't seem to find what other songs were used. Obviously one song from"The Beastie Boys', there there are a couple others as well that I can't find listen anywhere. A lot of it is just brief use. 96.31.177.151 (talk) 01:29, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Needs fixing[edit]

The current version of this article's "Plot" section contains this phrase:

Spock maroons Kirk on Delta Vega after he attempts mutiny

However, it isn't explained exactly why Spock attempts mutiny. Can a few words be added to this paragraph so it's clear why Spock attempts mutiny? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 02:03, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's Kirk, not Spock that attempts mutiny when he disobeys Spock's orders. You're reading the sentence incorrectly. oknazevad (talk) 07:55, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 3 May 2024[edit]

It has been proposed in this section that Star Trek (film) be renamed and moved to Star Trek (2009 film).

Star Trek (film) → Star Trek (2009 film) – Dab from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. See WT:NCF#Does this apply to subtitles? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:13, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support also ambiguous with Star Trek in film, and the Star Trek film series -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 00:28, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Makes sense to me. SonOfThornhill (talk) 12:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Most Star Trek films are referred to by their subtitles pretty frequently by fans and casual commentators alike, but this one, being the sole Star Trek film without a subtitle is often referred to by its date or as "the reboot movie", which would not work as a disambiguator for many reasons. So including the date in the parenthetical here makes it easier to find for casuals searching in the search bar. And as the IP editor notes, the current, more ambiguous title could be redirected to the List of Star Trek films article with little loss of meaning. oknazevad (talk) 12:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support and would also add that after the move Star Trek (film) should point to List of Star Trek films. --Masem (t) 13:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support This just makes sense. Much more clear which film we're discussing. I agree with Masem about leaving a redirect to List of Star Trek films in the old name's place. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 16:45, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support the 2009 one has 35,253 views but Star Trek: The Motion Picture has 22,478[[1]] which isn't enough for a PADB and subtitles are often omitted, anyway the subtitle is shown in much smaller text than "Star Trek" in the film's image. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
