Utah City Search, Salt Lake City, Paul J. Pelkonen,

"The film's tone veers between wry ridicule and a serious celebration of the show's positive impact on people's lives. Although it is sometimes inconsistent, and at 85 minutes, slightly long (people have applied the same criticism to 1979's 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture'), this is an entertaining, all-encompassing romp across our own planet, which, as we discover, houses some very extraterrestrial humans."
