Nemesis
1
5
4

Note the order does change and flip flop depending on my mood. But Star Trek 4 and 5 consistently rank at the bottom of the list for me.Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -
I declare myself guilty of liking the first one (even if itīs not "action packed"), the next would be Wrath of Khan, The voyage home, then First contact, Nemesis/Insurrection and in spite of much more informed, trekkier opinions, I kind of enjoyed the 2009 movie (except for the music...it had absolutely nothing to do compared with the great Jerry Goldsmith theme or even the original series one)

He means "First Contact" of course, which is perhaps my favourite also (because of the borg). I like the first one a lot, and I enjoyed "Nemesis" too. I like them all.
But I really can't stand that 2009 thing... bleurgh! -
It's a close choice between Wrath of Khan and First Contact, but I still remember the shock I felt during the Kobayashi Maru exercise near the beginning, the joy of Kirk and Spock pulling a fast one on Khan (Superior intellect? My hairy backside!), the beautifully shot battle in the nebula, and then two old friends say goodbye . . . What a roller-coaster of emotions! Good film!
Nemesis was a pile of poo! I just didn't understand the villain's motives for going after Picard and Earth? Very shoddy writing!
Star Trek (2009) just wasn't proper Star Trek. Quinto was excellent as Spock and guy playing McCoy was pretty good but the rest were pretty meh. What the smeg was Checkov on? Who thought that was a good idea? And Simon Pegg, much as I like him as a comic actor and writer, he's completely wrong for Scotty. And who designed the Enterprise's bridge? It was so bright you'd need sunglasses to work there. Again, I just didn't buy into the villain's motives. A typical JJ Abrams production, very flashy but could've been so much better with a bit more time and thought spent on the script. (Two of the writers on the DVD commentary track so happy with themselves for coming up with the reason why Dr McCoy was called "Bones", what a couple of morons!) -
Sadly I had to look up the movie titles after The Search For Spock to find out which ones were which. Out of sight out of mind I guess. I like all of the original cast movies and Generations....still a diehard original series fan though. Know the scripts of 95% of them. I saw The Lights of Zetar the other day with Mira Romaine(character name). Wow I had the hots fer her when I was a kid...

Like them all. Yes even the new reboot. But grew up watching the Original Series (re-runs mind you). All time favorites has to be a tie between wrath of khan and voyage home.

I like them all except for Star Trek V : The Final Frontier, really hate this one. My favorites are : Wrath of Kahn, First Contact, and Star Trek 2009. Yes, I thought 2009 was very good and I thought it was fairly clever, hoe know they can essentially rewrite Trek history in future films.

Thanks for being the first to admit it, I'll be the second. Lord knows it has its flaws, but I'll never forget the kick of finally getting to see it in a first-run theater after years of on-again, off-again production rumors. I'm a sucker for Douglas Trumbulls' insanely intricate handmade FX, so that alone puts this one at the top of my "Trek" list, followed by "Khan", "Voyage" and the others. Unfortunately Paramount never released an unadulterated version of ST:TMP on dvd, all you can get is the misconceived George Lucas-inspired "update" version. I ended up buying the old original edition laserdisc off eBay for $5 and dubbed that to my DVD recorder. I hate it when directors go back and try to "fix" things long after the core audience has memorized every frame: it tampers with history in a way.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
I'll be the third to admit to liking The Motion Picture, but unlike orsetto, I prefer the Director's Edition DVD version (I'm not one of those anal-retentive fanboys who filter things through I-hate-George-Lucas lenses). I much prefer it over the Special Longer Version VHS, which I enjoyed at the time but can now see the flaws in throwing in everything that was removed (and right out of the gate, I caught the huge gaffe with the shot of Kirk floating out of the airlock with the soundstage showing in the background!). The DVD added and edited just enough to make the movie an enjoyable experience, IMHO, and at least they made (or tried to make) the updated CGI effects match the 1979 look of the film. And at least Robert Wise was involved in the process, instead of some studio flunky.
My choice for worst film? The Final Frontier, Insurrection, and Nemesis are right down there, but I have to give the edge to The Final Frontier. Honestly, Shatner, just what the hell were you smoking?!! (And don't even get me started on the lame-ass FX.)Don't sweat the petty things, just pet the sweaty things. -

I hadn't thought to look for a BD release- thanks for the tip!
I have no beef with those who prefer modernized or enhanced versions, if that floats their boat let them enjoy, but those revised versions should not permanently push aside and bury the originals. There are some classic sci-fi epics that took so long to make and were so impossible to nail down that they were released as wild guesses, for better and worse: these initial ragged cuts were the hits or bombs imprinted in our collective memory. When directors go back ten or twenty years later to "fix" them, they lose some of the unfinished charm along with the flaws: its a fine line. (Spielberg has rehashed "Close Encounters" so many times that elements of the original soundtrack were lost in the process- not the smartest move.) Most of us buying this stuff on sequential video formats are old enough to remember seeing it in a theater, so you'd think they'd want to cover the bases to attract every possible buyer. Put both in the box, and everybody's happy.
BTW next time they re-master "Wrath Of Khan" they should definitely include the two Robot Chicken parodies "Two Kirks, A Khan, & A Pizza Place" and "Wrath Of Khan: The Opera" as bonus material. -
I don't like any of them.

While I was extremely happy they made the first one I wasn't overly fond the story line. The Wrath of Khan followed by The Search for Spock are still my favorites of the old series for all the good Star Trek reasons. The Undiscovered Country is my third favorite of that series. The Voyage Home was a fun diversion from the norm (love the quote lordsmurf). I like all of the Next Gen movies equally.
Edit:
Forgot about the new "Reset" movie. It was well done and the actors were well chosen. The doctor has it down pat. I can easily buy into this restart of the original. I re-bought all the movies on Blu-ray including the latest.Last edited by gll99; 16th Jun 2011 at 20:18.

Why isn't Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning listed?
Who could forget Captain James B. Pirk of the starship Kickstart as he takes on Babylon 5?

I believe the correct quote is "And a double dumbass on you!" -
For all you die hard Trek fans try the Star Trek Phase II website (Link Below). These stories are supposed to have happened after the original 5 year mission and includes some Star Trek alumni (George Takei, Walter Koenig, etc.)

Yep. I watched those fan films a year or two ago. I did enjoy those stories. I thought i read somewhere that they used their set for the tribble episode of Ds9.
Actually pretty decent fan materialDonadagohvi (Cherokee for "Until we meet again") -
Yeah, the time travel one with the Shuttle Craft in the Captains garage was a brilliant touch!

I've seen some of the fan films. Not bad.
BUT some of them actually were reworked into the second season of Star Trek The Next Generation during a hollywood writer strike. I'm not sure which ones but they did recycle some of them.Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw?
