I love Kirk and Spock and their totally normal-length hand holding sessions

Rewatching TMP in preparation for a possible @mcspirkevents movie-era big bang, and cannot get over the "My ex(es) are gonna be at this party so I need to look hot as hell" energy in this photo

Behind the scenes of Star Trek TMP

the international implications of this fit

A quick Kolinahr Spock teehee

Girl gang!

okay so like TMP is so "Spock broke up with Jim to undergo Kolinahr and V'Ger made him realize that there's nothing greater than that "simple feeling" and gets back with him at the end of the movie" coded and it's not even fair

they were just. So tense around each other the whole time, and just generally agitated as shit the whole movie but when they both realized that living life and feeling things is the best way to live they immediately drew back to each other and yeah:') I have feelings about that movie

SPOCK! HES BACK :D! SPOCKIIIIE!!

I took some guesses about which ones needed their own answer vs which could share based on my own preferences. I'll redo it better if the answers prove me wrong <3

I have seen Star Trek The Motion Picture in the theater and I am in awe!! Now I know how they felt in 79 when it first came out thats exciting even with a non action heavy movie.

just how much of the first Star Trek movie's budget was spent on costumes? I swear they wear something different in every other scene

when do they have time to change

A few pictures I’ve never seen.

ok so obviously the colors of the tmp uniforms is vomit inducing, we all agree on that.

however, i need people to acknowledge that the cut of the uniforms kind of serves, actually

This scene is brilliant, because you can see how desperately Jim is trying to get Spock to show an ounce of affection, and then he is frustrated of something he should not have expected of Spock in the first place. Not that he blames Spock, yet he is sure this is anything to either of them but some mutual advantage; his tone softens gradually, because he doesn’t want Spock to be made to do or say anything for his sake, something only Jim wishes to hear. It’s been a while, and here they are, both very well aware of the fact that Spock chose to abandon Kolinahr, which gives Jim every right to demand attention from Spock regardless of how little that might be. Perhaps it is too much to ask of him anyways, and he is making peace with it knowing this is how Spock has always been. Spock knows. This is what’s killing Jim. Is there anything else? No. Not unless he wants it to be. He’s here and that’s all that matters, and yet Jim can’t shake the feeling that Spock is deliberately holding back what he’s really feeling at the moment. They’ve spent too long together and have been too close to each other than for him not to notice Spock is shutting him out. And even so, he still chooses to be patient. The last thing he wants is to push it. He longs for Spock, yet selflessly so. He also knows that this is just as hard on Spock as it is on him.
