I watched it, maybe for the first time all the way through, a couple years ago when it was in theaters as a Fathom Event. It might be a bit slow in some places, but it's not slow like Star Trek 1. I saw that one in a theater recently as well and yawnfest.

I didn't like Star Trek TMP when it was released in theaters because it was slow, but have come to appreciate it over the years. There are some really beautiful shots, and the story has some depth that the later more action-y movies are just missing. Not my favorite by any stretch, but certainly watchable in the right mood.
And without it, we wouldn't have gotten Wrath of Khan.
