My kids grew up with the video of this movie. They loved it and I love it.
We all took it as a standalone film - the TV series slightly predated the kids, so we missed that.
And, as a standalone film, it is non-stop action and enjoyment. It is exciting, funny, moving, with great visuals, brilliant voice casting (I never thought I would encounter a film where Orson Welles stood side by side with Leonard Nimoy and Eric Idle), and some excellent songs. Really effective songs.
The science fiction is strong. But the humanity is strong too.
Highly recommended.
