Default Re: Favorite Star Trek episode

Oh don't get me wrong, I loved STMP for many years and steal feel that it was a good movie. I just didn't like the cold feel of the movie.

Quote:
ST 2 - I think by far the best of the movies. I just wished that in the movie they had made a reference to that boy Scotty was holding in his arms. It was his nephew, but we were never told that in the movie.
In the extended Version of the movie they do tell you who the boy was.

Quote:
ST 3 - Although not great, it was good. I just wish the trailers didn't reveal that the Enterprise was going to be destroyed. They should have kept that as much a secret as possible.
Nemoy fought the inclussion of the material showing the Enterprise being destroyed, but Paramout said it was to stay in. ST 3 was a milestone movie for many reasons. It set the Star Trek into a whole new direction and gave people hope for a new series and more movies. It was the first movie to show us the Klingon BOP, Space Dock, Sarek, Vulcan, the Excelcior, and deal with the death of the Enterprise and Kirks son.

Quote:
ST 4 - I liked it. Although it did seem like an overlong commerical for Save the Whales, it had its moments.
It was a good movie, "double dumb *** on you!" But for me it was.. missing something. Albeit at the end that something was joyfully shown.

Quote:
ST 5 - I agree with you on your asseessment of Shatner's directorial debut. It sucked, and it will be the only ST movie I will not buy on dvd.
The overall movie was not bad. The story was interesting and all, but man there were a lot of plot holes that should have been plugged up long before the movie ever went to production. The whole Enterprise not working and stuff could have been rewritten to say the Enterprise was in for Refit. The climb up the turbo shaft should have been left out completely. The special effects should have been handled by ILM instead of that low budge place they used. Over all the movie was not that bad. It ties in very well with Shatners books.

Quote:
ST 6 - a murder mystery in space. But it was still a good movie.
Other than some minor lines about navy termenology that should have been rewritten, a few plot holes, and a lack of material the movie worked well. I loved the sound track and over all story.

Quote:
ST-Gen - My jury is still out on this movie. It's ok, but maybe it was the way they killed off Kirk that made me not like it. (Personally, I always thought he'd get killed off by a jealous lover of one of his female conquests!!)
I tend to agree about the Kirk thing, but again if you read his books, his death is explained. You see great people do "die alone." (This ties back to his stayment in ST 5 about dying alone.)

Quote:
ST-FC - This is another one I disagree with you on. I loved this movie, and it's my second favorite after Wrath of Kahn. I just wish they could have used the original actor for Cochrane, but I think he died quite a few years ago.
Why I hate this movie is because of the way they did it. They never explained why they sent only ONE cube to Earth, nor why they came in the first place. They had a great oppurtunity here to make the Borg into something grand, but dropped the ball horribly. The whole concept of First Contact was lame as hell, and they never did tell us how they got the Warp Ship back down to Earth?

I just simply disliked this movie because it lacked a lot of what should have been good Star Trek.

Quote:
ST-I - It was ok, but it could have been better. Seemed like an overlong episode from the series, but at least Troy & Riker got back together.
I don't know why I like this movie so much. For me it must be the way it was shot. It is simply a well done movie, err two hour episode, that reminded me of why I enjoyed STNG so much as a series.

Quote:
ST-N - Too many questions about this movie that made me not enjoy it. First of all, WEsley was a Traveller Last we saw, so why is he there in uniform? How did the Romulans find a imperfect copy of Data? And why kill off Data? Sure, Brent Spiner may have been tired of the role, but if this was going to be the Last film of this crew, I thought it was unnecessary.
Again this movie could have been something special but instead it became something far less than it could have become.

All in all ST II The Wrath Of Kahn holds the top honor out of the 10 movies. Why you ask? Because it is a classic good vs evil, action packed drama with history, talent, suspence and a good honest story that simply was brillant.
