Star Trek The Motion Picture: 10 Reasons It's Underrated

4. Everyone Looked Their Best

Shatner was a lean, mean, commanding machine! Nimoy wore the ears and projected stoicism from every vein. Scotty had a mustache, and wasn€™t all€well, Hindenburg-esque. Even McCoy looked great, though thankfully someone talked him into ditching the beard and gold medallion.

Even the supporting characters, like Uhura, were looking great, and I€™m sure most men looking at Persis Khambatta were inclined to reevaluate their views on the necessity of hair on women.
