Ive seen the Original 6 movies a few times. Only the Next Gen once before and less recently, plus they are worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Even if it underperforms, the Star Trek isn't going to die since we have the upcoming CBS series which I doubt CBS would have considered had it not been for the success of the films.

Well actually I don't mind any of The Next Generations films and even think one of them is excellent (FC of course), and my least favorite film is part of the original six, so I could argue against Jay's point probably.

I think Lin is doing gonna direct the 4th (cast is already signed on) Plus I think this one will make more WW. Even if its does the same as SITD WW it cost 40m less.

Heh! TNG was my crew growing up. but TOS does have the better films. Wrath of Kahn can be argued as the best, followed by First Contact, followed by 6 and 4. then Insurrection and Generations can sit in the middle with Search for Spock. Motion picture gets an edge for special effects, and Nemesis and the god one can fight it out for bottom of the barrel.

narniadis Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I just love Undiscovered Country and Christopher Plummer as a Klingon was great casting (particularly the Shakespearean bend to the whole affair) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never tend to get into movies that rely on era specifics as part of their gimmick/plot that predate my experiences. So Voyage Home deriving so much of it's humor and even plot from 80s culture, it falls flat for me. Still a fun movie, just won't ever be as fun as it was for my parents.

UrosepsisFace Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I enjoyed the Voyage Home more than Wrath of Khan, when I first watched these movies. Vulcan Kim Cattrall, Cold War analogy, dueling Shakespeare quotes, a conspiracy, a trial, the Excelsior, and a cloaked BoP made ST6 so magical... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're referring to UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. btw, Meyer wanted to bring back Saavik and have her be the one to "betray" Spock. Certainly would've given that moment greater impact, though it was handled well anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
