The Best Star Trek Movie

Post by windsor » April 22nd, 2010, 5:16 pm

The poll only allows 10, and there are 11 movies. I left out "Final Frontier" because that one is generally considered the low point in Star Trek Moviedom.
If that's your favorite...then just step away from the poll, you probably shouldn't be voting anyway!

Hmmmmm...I'm going to think a while before voting. Khan was great and all, but the new movie just absolutely rocked. I also really liked "Voyage Home". The first one was nice for getting the gang back together and on the big screen, but it has some incredibly boring parts in it. As much as I enjoyed TNG, they never made it work in the movies. I think they should have saved "All Good Things" for film, it would have been better than any of the movies. Even in episode format, it's still better than any of the TNG movies.

I haven't voted either...same reason. ST I was great to get the gang back together..but it was a little dull and a rehash of an episode. I like a couple of the TNG movies - First Contact (the line must be drawn heeeya) and Nemesis. Loved the new one. Khan is classic (from hell's heart I stab at thee)...Voyage Home (Captain...there be whales here!)

All Good Things would have been a great movie.

I'm bouncing between the new movie, Khan and First Contact

This is kinda funny b/c someone I know from Duke just posted "What does God need with a starship" as his Facebook status.

IV - The Voyage Home. It is the one movie that I won't miss when it comes on TV. Both my wife and daughter like it too. It is by far the funniest, and most fun movie they made.

I went with the new one, mostly because it's freshest in my mind, but I enjoyed several of them. Khan is definitely up there for me.

Like I said in my first post, I really liked Voyage Home. Ozzie put it in better words, "far the funniest, and most fun movie they made". You don't have to be a trekkie or even a sci-fi fan to enjoy it. It's the one that's getting my vote. (Watching Spock attempt to cuss is flat out hilarious, as well as seeing Scotty try to interface with a computer that requires a mouse.) Besides being funny, there is plenty to keep a trekkie happy.

I love IV as much as the next guy. The reason it doesn't get my top vote is that it is non-traditional.... they don't spend any time on the Enterprise, they're hardly in space. So as much as I love it, it is still missing some things that I enjoy. That's what Khan get's #1 for me. But "the whale one" is a close second.

I went with The Wrath of Khan. The first ST movie was so dissapointing to me. To have the plot of "the Wrath" be so much better than the first, and to see Khan agin, well, the whole thing was awesome.

Just a ST memory: Y'all remember when Uhura lost all her memory? The machine told her to "Think about music..." before zapping her senseless. They "re-educated" her, and by the end of the show she was a second grade level. But what about her personal memories man! That was just a little over the top for me.

KAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNN!

I think "Best" makes this poll more difficult to answer, rather than "Favorite". Best makes me consider a lot of factors like script, cinematography, special effects, acting, etc. I was leaning towards the new Star Trek because I think it rates the highest in most of these categories, but whenever I got ready to vote, I felt like I had to go with Kahn. Kahn was the first Star Trek movie I clearly remember watching, it has a special place in my heart.

It also rates highest in use of lens flares. ;)
