i liked that one in the 90s where they were stuck on earth in about 2020 under borg overlords, it was a lot less pompous than most star trek

First contact - just in case you didn't know what to vote for.

 

[Santino]

more interesting which is the worst


the contenders

Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Star Trek Generations
Star Trek: Insurrection
Star Trek Nemesis

'The Motion Picture' is the only one I wouldn't sit through if the remote control was broken.

 

[kyser_soze]

Hmmmm...probably II, Reboot, First Contact, Motion Picture, the rest I'm hand wavey about generally...

 

[clandestino]

V is by far the worst.

It's hard to really separate II and III, as they're essentially one big film split in half. So I'd have to vote for them as the best Star Trek action movie, and VI as the best movie overall. I is ace too, but not really Star Trek. IV is like a Carry On movie, but that's no bad thing either. V is just terrible.

 

[Fruitloop]

Nemesis is deffo the worst by far IMO. Complete twaddle.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I like the first one. It feels like a real cinematic event.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Bollocks - I voted "Nemesis" but I meant "First Contact" and at me!!!!!!!!!

 

[kyser_soze]

I like the first one for a number of reasons.

First off, it looks lovely. I remember being overawed by the sheer massiveness of V'Ger in the opening sequence (where the Klingons get wasted...I was 6 at the time!), and even now most of the effects stand up quite well, especially the final act when they're walking over the giant's causeway thing...

Second, and this came later, Persis Khambatta.

Third, McCoy's famous quote about 'Why do we call anything we don't understand a thing?'

I sat through Nemesis recently because the remote control was on another chair. By god, it was shit. It was no more than a shit ordinary telly double-episode. But with a worse premise.

The recent one, on the other hand, really makes it feel like a Motion Picture Event rather than just another episode of a telly series.

 

[Santino]

Every Star Trek film is just a big-budget double episode, except for Save The Whales, which is like every other 1980s comedy adventure, and just happens to have Star Trek characters in it.

Go out on a mission, get duffed up/captured, work out a plan, beat the bad guy, home in time for tea and crumpets. They're never as epic as they could be.

I like that bit when the bad guy growls to Picard 'Don't be so vain.'

I say that a lot, whenever I see that actor on telly.

 

[kabbes]

The way that the most recent one is shot, though, is non-tellylike. I don't have the technical know-how to identify exactly why, but there is something in the visceral nature of the battles that is completely different.

Star Trek IV isn't the best film, but it probably is my favourite one. Precisely because it is a 1980s comedy adventure. The world needs more 1980s comedy adventures.

I saw the film within the last few weeks and I couldn't identify that actor if he stood next to me on the train. The whole thing defined "unmemorable".

He's in that new thing about those people.

Congratulations I've found a new definition for lazy.

I had a dog on my lap. I had just been out. STOP JUDGING ME!

 

[ChrisC]

I'll do your poll

Thank you Crispy. A very nice poll it is to.

90 minutes of watching this

cunt, pretend to be the clone of Patrick Stewart?

Tom Hardy's perfect role is going to be the lead in "Wayne Rooney the Movie".

 

[PacificOcean]

Which is the one where they found God, but it wasn't God?

It was a few months ago on TCM and I really enjoyed it, in a stoned Sunday afternoon sort of way.

Five. Directed by Shatner.

"Why does God need a spaceship".

Trivia fact fans, there was fire on the set of Star Trek Five, and Shatner "joined in" the fight.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

on the side of the fire

 

[Pie 1]

First Contact for me.
Not seen reboot yet though.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is the best.

 

[seeformiles]

What was the one with Christopher Plummer as a Shakespeare quoting Klingon and a cool bit of blood in zero gravity? I think D.Bowie's missus was in it too?

That one I enjoyed.
