And I wrote about it here. Some excerpts:
Three warbirds open the film. I've never seen this in a theater. I think my first viewing was off a top-loading VCR, so this is a terrific treat.

I know I saw Wrath of Khan in theaters, but unless I saw it in a re-release I was six-years-old. And while I saw all the subsequent movies, even the lesser ones, in the theater, and I’ve seen The Motion Picture several times, I’d never seen this on the big screen:

There’s a group, Fathom Events putting nostalgic movies in the big theaters on slow days. So there’s often a throwback on Tuesdays and Sundays.

There was even a little mini-documentary before the movie — probably something produced to run before a DVD or some banquet event. Though this is a problem:
