Re: Word of Mouth Has Killed
heres my picks for each series in order of preference.
Star Trek: TOS
ST2: Wrath of Khan - best of them all. it was like a long episode.
ST6: Undiscovered Country - enjoyed the action and basic plot. liked the references to the tv series (ex. refering to the enterprise as a garbage scow like they did on the episode with the tribbles). could have done without the Shakespeare Klingons though. a good attempt at tying loose ends btwn the series, books and comics. Plus it explains why the Federation and Klingon Empire are semi allies in TNG.
ST4: Voyage Home - despite the improbability of the whales being that important and the continuing use of time travel as a plot, i still think this was a good movie.
ST3: Search For Spock - genesis effect on spock was a bad idea but hey it brought him back. i like the stealing of the enterprise and the combat over the genesis planet(what little there was). i enjoy the techno redo of the startrek theme on the cd/tape.
ST: The Motion Picture - at the time i was just glad to see anything for startrek.
ST5: There was no such movie! It never existed.
Star Trek: TNG
ST8: First Contact - good plot (minus timetravel) and it had made a point like they tried to do with TOS.
STX: Nemesis - despite what everybody says this was a good movie. it tied up loose ends from the series (ex. troy and rykers wedding and ryker finally accepting a captains chair). i enjoyed the action sequences even if not in the style of star trek. they tried to do what they did with Undiscovered Country.
ST7: Generations - an attempt to hand the torch to the new series. i like Mcdowell he makes a good bad guy and evil good guy. plus they kill off shatner (not kirk but shatner), that makes it a good movie regardless of anything else.
ST9: Insurrection - i dont remember much of this one. maybe one day i will go back and watch my dvd.
next movie? i dunno but most likely not Enterprise as it is a current series and if it flops then they wont make a movie about it anyway.
BTW. February 25th DS9 season 1 comes out on DVD.
