The Final Frontier: All Things Star Trek

watch the motion picture. god has that aged horribly. not that it is was that great in the first place.

 

OOh, movie rankings.

1) Wrath of Khan
2) Voyage Home
3) First Contact
4) Generations
5) Search for Spock
6) ST:Reboot
7) Undiscovered Country
8) Motion Picture
9) Nemesis
10) Into Darkness
11) Insurrection
12) Final Frontier

Insurrection was another one that was a really, really bad movie. I mean bad.

I think the Motion Picture gets a bad rap because of the over use of special effects and its pace. But watching it now, I enjoy it.

The JJ Abrams reboot was interesting, and the beginning of the movie is top notch. Kirk's birth and his father's death were just great movie making. And I kept waiting for them to fix the time line, but when they didn't, I sat and was staring around going "wtf just happened?"

 

I did. V came on afterward or maybe it was the second after. Seems like whatever channel it was had TMP, II, and V playing on a loop all weekend. It was interesting to see how much of TMP got recycled into II.

 

motion picture is really really slow. the whole thing with the alien taking over the crew member is just boring and pointless. I can't see having generations that high. it's an ok movie at best.

 

1. Wrath of Khan
2. Undiscovered Country
3. Star Trek
4. Into Darkness
5. First Contact
6. Generations
7. Voyage Home
8. Search for Spock
9. Nemesis
10. Insurrection
11. The Motion Picture
12. The Final Frontier

The best thing about The Undiscovered Country is it is a big part of the overall continuity bridging into TNG. Otherwise, the characters were a bit silly at times in the limited action roles.

The Motion Picture is just bad. Those doggedly long special effects sequences are part of the movie. There's no changing it.

I like the reboot movies. I can find less fault with these than those further down the list. That being said, I've only seen Into Darkness once in the theater, and everything else I've seen multiple times.

 

I was pretty well molded by then. Shows like Emergency! molded me.

 

I agree with your top 3. I'd order it a little differently, but the core is there.

 

I was a Quincy guy.

 

It may be noncanon from a book.

 

I'd flip 2 and 3, and then 10 and 11. Otherwise, samesies.

 

NERD ALERT!!!

 

I am in agreement.

In addition, Moore took off the last season of ds9 like he later did with bsg.

 

i'm surprised to see undiscovered country get that high reviews from others. I always felt I was in a minority.

 

ezri was pretty annoying.

 

Insurrection would have been a perfect season finale tv episode.

Come on now, Miss Piggy and old Darth Vader in the Motion Picture is worth a high rating.

 

insurrection was boring and pointless. nemesis though is completely unwatchable.

 

Personally, I love the Battle of Bassen Rift.

It took 40 years, but finally, the damn ships flipped dorsal and ventral during a battle when the shields were weakening.

That and it reminds me of Dina Meyer showing her boobies in Starship Troopers. :clap:

 

One of my favorite movie scenes

I've always liked the "my god bones what have i done? you did what you had to do, what you always do, turn death into a fighting chance to live." also the kobayashi maru scene in the genesis cave is pretty entertaining. that's always been one of my favorite trek movies. god too bad of a rap IMO. I freely admit I love me some james t kirk overacting.

 

Watching Insurrection, I felt like I was watching something they wrote for the series, ran out of time, and just dusted it off to make a movie. I enjoyed it, but it's the smallest, most insignificant story of all the movies.
