dioxxys 02/01/24 4:13:16 AM #7:	The first one was a great movie just not a good Star Trek movie. I loved watching it back in the day in the theater. But I had no Trek knowledge and I didn't know that Star Fleet usually doesn't run around screaming down hallways losing control of their emotions and cursing. I watched the second movie, Wrath of Khan and still had no Star Trek knowledge but I didn't enjoy that one nearly as much as the first. If there is any more after that they had already lost my interest. <cite>dioxxys posted [p:978591588] in What Star ...

It isnt a great movie, but it has its moments and I appreciate the audacity. I am a a huge Trek fan from way back, and I think Motion Picture, Final Frontier, Insurrection and Nemesis are the ones to avoid.

UnsteadyOwl 02/01/24 2:43:27 PM #17:	I will say that I personally like The Motion Picture. I didn't for a long time but I eventually came around to it. The recent HD Director's Edition in particular I think is good. I can't recommend it to the TC though. It's very different from the J.J. Abrams Trek movies, or even from the other TOS movies. It's a slow, contemplative movie. It came out post Star Wars but has more in common with older science fiction films like 2001. If that sounds appealing to you then you could give it a try but otherwise you should probably avoid it. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness.

ForsakenHermit 02/02/24 1:12:27 AM #35:	As for my opinions on the other movies TMP-Could have been a good if slow movie had the payoff been worth it and the plot not a do-over of TOS episode V-I don't think Shatner's vision was doomed from the start per se but his ego prevented him from some much needed script doctoring to make this work. As is it's a Razzie winner for a reason and while not my least favorite it is the worst Trek movie. Generations-I like but don't love this movie as far as ideas that could bring the first two TV series together it's not that bad. McDowell is a great if short sighted villain but I think this movie wouldn't be nearly as reviled if it handled one plot point better. Insurrection-Easily my least favorite Trek movie. In some ways it's criminal that the actual Next Gen TV series finale didn't get the cinematic treatment yet this glorified season finale did. I can forgive an ambitious failure a lot more than a meh movie at best that plays it way too safe. --- Beware the fanatic!

[t:80684848]...</cite> <quote>As for my opinions on the other moviesTMP-Could have been a good if slow movie had the payoff been worth it and the plot not a do-over of TOS episodeV-I don't think Shatner's vision was doomed from the start per se but his ego prevented him from some much needed script doctoring to make this work. As is it's a Razzie winner for a reason and while not my least favorite it is the worst Trek movie.Generations-I like but don't love this movie as far as ideas that could bring the first two TV series together it's not that bad. McDowell is a great if short sighted villain but I think this movie wouldn't be nearly as reviled if it handled one plot point better.Insurrection-Easily my least favorite Trek movie.

Khan was just the studio pandering to the Star Wars masses, and yes, their considerable wallets. While Gene Roddenberry deserves his dues for creating Star Trek, one shouldn't get too reverent of him because he had plenty of bad ideas that needed reining in. I mean, he might also have considered you to not be a Trekkie if you disliked Wesley Crusher (this would be the vast majority of the fandom) because that character was his idea and a way for him to indulge his fantasies by putting a prodigy version of his younger self in the story. It was the right decision to 86 Roddenberry and go in a different direction for Star Trek 2, because the movies have to appeal to a wider audience than just Trekkies to be successful. The franchise would not have survived another film like TMP. --- God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes, 'cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose. - Everlast <cite>mercurydude posted [p:978610936] in What Star ...

ForsakenHermit 02/02/24 7:36:50 AM #41:	TMP wasn't even Gene's first pitch for a Trek film he wanted to do something similar to V. A pity he didn't as that would have saved us from seeing Shatner's take on it. In any event I don't consider myself a Trekkie despite being a fan of the franchise. --- Beware the fanatic!

DnDer 02/02/24 7:57:48 AM #44:	Bringit posted... First Contact is typically the unanimous top pick when it comes to the TNG era. Because it's the most summer action type of movie for TNG and didn't really embody TNG. Hell, it did something to the mythos that arguably neutered their scariest villain. That said, I still love it.

It's basically something slapped together just to have Star Trek on the big screen. It was almost literally the script for Phase II/TNG before TNG became a thing years later.
