It was absolutely the best TNG movie by a good margin. I love the movie. But I am not at all prepared to say First Contact is better than Wrath of Kahn.

Final Frontier may be dog shit, but it's entertaining dog shit

I mean, how can you not love Kirk going up against "God"?

I am just about as big of a Trek fan as you will find. And I think both Final Frontier and Insurrection are basically unwatchable.

Parts of Nemesis are unwatchable too, but the ending space battle kind of rules until the last few minutes.

Not even the cast and the director liked Nemesis.

But the movie has some fun parts, even though it never really comes together.

I disagree. I think Donkey Kong is the best Star Trek movie.

It's definitely the best TNG movie, and it would be absurd to think otherwise. Best overall, though? Nah, I think II and VI have it beat.

Thank you for the laugh.

Nemesis has been panned by everyone including the cast.

True story, at a convention Marina Sirtis called the director Stuart Baird an "idiot" and she got a STANDING OVATION from the audience!

Stuart Baird didn't direct anything else after Nemesis.

Did you know that that there was plans for a fifth movie that would have wrapped up the 24th Century but after the utter shitness that was Insurrection and Nemesis a thoroughly pissed of Paramount told them what they could go do with it!

Even if Frakes had directed it there wasn't much he could have done with it as it was just a really bad script to begin with.

Tom Hardy refuses to this day to ever talk about it.

I haven't seen that utter disaster since I saw it in the cinema and if I hadn't of been there with my parents I would have walked out.

I totally agree with the TC that First Contact is not only the greatest Star Trek movie made but one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies ever made.

My top 3 ST movies:

  1. First Contact
  2. Undiscovered Country
  3. The Voyage Home

Nemesis is literally a ripoff of Wrath of Khan.

Additionally the crew don't immediately return home after FC. They end up in 1996 in the Marvel Universe's main continuity Earth-616. Not too long after from the X-Men's perspective following an encounter with Kirk's crew (TOS Era instead of the movies).

Basically a one shot comic and the novel, Planet X.

Er I do not know how to tell you this my little casual who would rather watch those crap in name only streaming series than watch the superior Enterprise and who can't give me an answer on why he likes DS9 but The Undiscovered Country is THE ORIGINAL SERIES!

It's my favorite Star Trek film, but I also think there's some nostalgia involved... it was a great time in my life, I saw it with friends who were also Trek fans, I'm an 80s kid so TNG/DS9 was my era...

But I've re-watched it since and it is still my favorite Trek movie. Also remember this was BEFORE the Borg got watered down in Voyager and later series.

First Contact is easily in the top 3, like not even a contest. And I can see some people swapping it and Undiscovered Country between 2nd and 3rd (unless you're a loon like me with Undiscovered Country being my favorite, at which point it's a lot harder to put Wrath of Khan below First Contact).

But the one mark against FC? It gave us the Borg Queen, an all-around terrible decision that really should never have happened.
