I didn't expect to like the reboot but I saw the opening one night and it was great. I later got the film and watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were a few things I wasn't keen on, and I didn't think Eric Bana was quite right for Nero, but it was alright. I haven't seen all of Into Darkness, but I didn't rate Benedict Cumberbatch at all. To me, it was a really poor performance. My top 5: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (I never liked this one but as soon as I changed my tack on the classic series I realised that this film is the closest to the feel of those episodes) Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (I remember seeing this in the cinema, and always liked Sulu in this one. "I'm sorry Captain, you're breaking up" – legend :)). Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (you've got to love Christopher Lloyd – apparently he was that into being a warlord that he wanted to just shout up to his ship instead of using the communicator :p. Horrible makeup design though). Star Trek: Nemesis (purely for Tom Hardy. The rest of it is not that great) |
Re: Your top 5 star trek movies and how do u like 2009 reboot?
My current top five would be...
1. II: The Wrath of Khan 2. First Contact 3. The Undiscovered Country 4. The Voyage Home 5. The Search for Spock As for the '09 reboot - I re-watched it the other day and found it a slick but trifling affair that gets by on the basis of some decent casting and a plot that is propulsive but not numbing. |

I'm not a huge fan but I liked the oldies, whats the one where there are in a prison in a frozen wasteland? and wrath of khan was good
I found the remake to be convoluted and boring, the only enjoyable thing being the special effects. |

Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan
Star Trek IV - The Undiscovered Country Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home Star Trek (2009) Star Trek III - The Search for Spock Star Trek - The Motion Picture (2002 cut - A MUCH better film than the boring cut from 1979) Star Trek - Into Darkness Star Trek V - The Final Frontier |

I haven't watched these in a while, hard to remember my exact order, other than Khan being #1.
1. Wrath of Khan 2. First Contact 3. The Voyage Home 4. The Undiscovered Country 5. Star Trek 09 |
I always see First Contact being very highly thought of but it continues to puzzle me as to why that is. I think my biggest problem with it was the way Picard behaved. His character was very odd and I'm not sure Patrick Stewart was at his best either.

Star Trek V - I love how Sybok's hair keeps changing length throughout the film! That's a Vulcan thing you know, especially if they begin to let themselves feel emotions - their hair starts changing length and style! It's like a mood ring!

The uploader cut off the beginning of the video, so read this part first, then watch the video below:
Sheldon: What happened? Leonard: Howard's at the Mars Rover lab. He says he's in trouble. Defcon 5. Sheldon: Defcon 5? Well, there's no need to rush. Leonard: What? Sheldon: Defcon 5 means no danger. Defcon 1 is a crisis. Leonard: How can 5 not be worse than 1? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqQmfCOGmFU |

I probably would take V over I, though.

Thanks for that, gbg.
I'm a fan of ST the Motion Picture. I'm one of the few who has some issues with IV. First, it's a time travel movie (I have issues with time travel). They broke every rule and moral code established in the past about interfering with time - it's a form of breaking the Prime Directive - and they even bring the Seventh Heaven lady back to the future. Second, it seemed like it just deviated from the story line set up in II and III with a comedy interlude. I appreciated the comedy, but again, it was a departure from the previous films - like they injected a TV episode into a movie series. And the segues at the beginning and end that tied it back into the ongoing story line of the film series just seemed contrived in order to feature Nimoy's whales. Third, it was such an obvious "cause" movie. I like whales as much as the next guy but this was just a blatant preachy vehicle for Nimoy's pet cause. Fourth, it didn't really address the gorilla in the room - that Spock was resurrected. He was like a clone recreated by a planet that, under the same principles self-destructed (would the same happen to him?). He was a clone that aged an entire lifetime in the course of a few days. His spirit had been re-injected into him, but what about his brain? His mind? This was all a miracle beyond science that involved science that not even anyone in their time understood, yet all these questions are glossed over to tell a comedic time travel story about whales. Fifth, most people consider the Enterprise almost like it's a member of the original crew - yet the ship didn't even appear in this movie (except for a very brief cameo at the end of a replacement ship that was re-named "Enterprise"). |

I think you're reading too much into the movie. Would you rather that they got to the end of the movie and we watched Spock explode like the planet did? :eek: It's just a movie. It's going to have flaws, but you have to overlook them for the good of the overall movie. And overall, Star Trek IV is easily one of the best Star Trek movies. |

Keep in mind - this is years in retrospect. I liked the movie well enough when I first saw it but part of the reason I developed some of these feelings is this is the movie everyone always wants to watch - so I've probably seen it more than any other Trek movie. It's a matter of overexposure for me.
P.S. GBG, check out Rule's thread (I referenced you)... he didn't like Airplane! I'm expecting you to tear him a new one! ;) |

I'll make sure to read his review before I sign off tonight, but it might be a while. I'm listening to the songs for the song tournament right now. |

If you remember, I said that might happen. People who saw the movie years ago, like it more for the nostalgia feeling, but people who waited and see it now, just think it's a dumb movie with very few laughs. I'll make sure to read his review before I sign off tonight, but it might be a while. I'm listening to the songs for the song tournament right now. I have to admit I haven't watched it in a while myself (so I wonder what I'd think of it now). I don't really need to watch it since I pretty much know all the jokes by heart. Have fun with the songs. |
