I never really understood the disdain for TMP. Yes it is slow. But space is big and the slow pace gave the characters time to bond again and work-out the puzzle. I prefer the movie to the later ones because there is no fire-torpedoes quick-solution which wraps-up the story in time for the ad break... The characters started off awkward and cold but slowly rediscovered who they really were, just as V'Ger did.
