This film is beautiful. Since 1973 it has not aged a day due to its intensely human focus.
The casting is first rate, and the performances spot-on. Perhaps it is better that it was never made into a series (this is a pilot film) because an ongoing series could never manage to consistently live up to the original work.
Gene Roddenberry outdid himself with "Questor." I prefer it to "Star Trek" and I have been a "Trek" fan since that series began. The character of Data in "Next Generation" while very endearing shows no more than a hint of his far more emotively and philosophically powerful predecessor, Questor. I highly recommend this film.
