I liked TMP, I thought it was a beautifully shot movie for the time. But it was a very cold film. There was none of the humor and closeness of the crew that we were so used to coming after years of no Star Trek.
It was a Star Trek story that Gene Roddenberry always wanted to tell with no malicious enemy and a intellectual mystery to solve.
It was a shame that he was pushed to the side after this, but he kept pushing the same time travel story where the last scene was always going to be Spock standing on a grassy knoll with a rifle ensuring the death of Kennedy.
Eventually that lead to Roddenberry being pushed aside to an advisor role where nobody listened to his advice.
