Why is there a long star field sequence at the start of Star Trek: The Motion Picture?

Star Trek: The Motion Picture opens with a long pull back from a field of stars, for almost three minutes, with music playing. The first time I saw it, I kept expecting something to happen, but nothing does. It eventually just fades to black, then we get the opening credits and another field of stars.

Why did they put that part at the start of the movie?
