Favorite Trek movie? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**chipkluchi** · 08-17-2009, 08:27 AM

Ones favorite movie isn't nessecarily the best movie. So try not to rip on people too hard if they like a movie you think sucks.

**Anckzxik** · 08-17-2009, 08:31 AM

Personally its a toss up with 3 of them, First Contact, Generations and the new Star Trek.

**chipkluchi** · 08-17-2009, 08:35 AM

While I like all of them, I always come back to Undiscovered Country. Great pacing, amazing music too.

I know alot of people dislike Nemesis, but I love it, just not as much as ST6.

I guess I posted this because I'm considering buying the Motion Picture Collection in Bluray. Amazon has it for $70, Which is not bad, $70 for 6 ST movies on blueray. Thats a steal.

I voted for First Contact. I liked that one best of all, perhaps also because the memories I have when I watched it first.

So that one has my vote.

I just remember seeing the teaser for it, and going nuts over the thought of seeing the Borg on the big screen.

I really like Generations. It was criticized a lot by many mostly due to the death of a great Captain, but it was a neat transitional period for 24th century Star Trek. The uniforms were changing on screen in front of us (the one Cmdr. Riker was wearing hardly fit him, lol), the 1701-D Enterprise would be destroyed, LaForge's visor would be the reason for the destruction of the Enterprise--you can't watch any classic TNG today and not think about Geordi's visor when you see it on screen knowing it would be the reason the Enterprise-D was destroyed. And we know it's mostly because of the destruction of Worf's security post he transfers to Deep Space Nine for a number of years, including the duration of the Dominion War, and then back to the Enterprise-E.

Lt. Commander Data becoming more human by applying the emotion chip to his neural net. Unfortunately if he wouldn't have done it, Geordi wouldn't have been kidnapped, the visor not tampered with, etc.

The long season-spanning storyline arc of the villainous House of Duras was finally concluded after all this time, what happened with Picard's family was wrapped up in this indirect sequel to TNG Season 4's opening episode "Family", there was a brand new look to Stellar Cartography that opened the door for more rooms like it in Voyager and other TNG movies.

The amazing acting done by Patrick Stewart, Malcolm McDowell, and others brought this movie to life.

The Wrath of Khan [thumbup]

**M1iFiNmC** · 08-17-2009, 09:41 AM

Six for me. Probably the most mature story and direction with the original cast. The fx still hold up pretty well.

**durootrium** · 08-17-2009, 12:13 PM

The one that had the bug thing that crawled in your ear, I think. I remember seeing it at the drive-in movie theater as a kid.

7 of the DVDs here.
The only one that really gripped me was Khan, he was bloody fabulous.

No love for Khaaaaaan! by Daniel Martinico?

I guess First Contact then.

**hictchewisa** · 08-17-2009, 04:58 PM

The Voyage Home!

Time travel movies rule!!![thumbup]

The bluray version looks stunning. I've seen it. Amazing detail they've recovered from the original film.

**Arrecteve** · 08-18-2009, 01:13 AM

I still prefer the first one tbh, V-ger....

**DextExexy** · 08-18-2009, 01:17 AM

Don't know if I will be able to resist buying this

http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/1...t/Product.html

and the new movie when its out also [surrender]

**popsicesHoupe** · 08-18-2009, 04:26 AM

The Wrath of Khan for me, closely followed by The Undiscovered Country and the new one which I really enjoyed.

**Grorointeri** · 08-18-2009, 04:47 AM

Wrath of Khan here... yes, showing my age a little, but what a great film, on a shoestring budget (about a quarter of the budget of the first). Amazing stuff.

JJ Abrams' film is great, even if it rips up the history a little, but relative to expectations and sheer combination of story, action, romance and backstory, it's Khan all the way, by a long way.

I wasn't aware of any of the TNG films being in bluray yet? I've looked for them.

However, I just paid $70 shipped for 1-6 in bluray, so I can't complain much. Screaming deal at Amazon.com.

They aren't yet. They come out in November: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-Ge...0679551&sr=8-3
