Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
Didn't it come out years after that type game was out of style?

Can confirm. I bought it, played it for about about 2 hours then got stuck in an unsolvable maze which I couldn't exit and would have had to reset my save file (apparently I wasn't supposed to attempt it yet? they did telegraph that a bit but obviously not enough for me and who the gently caress puts unsolvable mazes in their 2010 adventure game like it's 19-loving-80?!). As for the FMV elements, the game's main developer directed all the live-action footage himself and he was not very good at it and it shows. The actors who didn't need much direction gave decent (though certainly not great) performances but the rest of the cast came across really flat and wooden (at times like they were just reading the script for the first time). Also the game ran like an absolute dog with lots of chugging and slowdown on my 2.something GHz Athlon64 CPU that should have had no trouble with a cheesy 90s-style FMV game.

That link goes to SuperGreatFriend’s playthrough, whose style is very dry and smartassed (in the best possible way). If you prefer your bad game commentary more raucous and weird check out TieTuesday’s stream.

I think the guy rereleased it as a movie at some point, or maybe as a dvd game that you can play with your remote. I regret that I never bought it, but the fmv parts are up on youtube.

The hippie thing? It was just there as an example of the kind of subplots that Clu would be getting in to as the representative of the sheriff's office. Also I assume the square would be a recurring character since he talks about doing commuter flights.

The Square Middle-Aged Guy was mad at Made For TV Hippie because he was offending his Establishment Sensibilities and tried to pick a fight with him, then claimed it was the other way around when Airport Fuzz got involved, because he figured they would automatically side with him and not the Brigadoon Refugee. Diet gum proved to be the MacGuffin in this otherwise straightforward subplot.

It wasn't so much the other way around but that he got the hippie mixed up with another guy, which they establish by the fact that he was across the terminal when the square claimed the altercation originally took place.

Thanks to this very thread I learned that the plane that Davey was flying is apparently the easiest thing to fly ever.
