I was looking for some info on the new Picard show and came across this article. I have seen most or all of STTMP on the tele, but never I have never seen the film in one viewing and certainly not in a theater. I hear mixed reviews and comments from the masses about STTMP, but I will check it out since it will be playing on the big screen.
