Quote HistoryQuoted: The best thing to come out of The Motion Picture movie was the Klingon battle scene music. That was well done. Also the book the movies is based upon is actually a pretty good read. it explains some really cool things that never show up in the movie. I'll allow it. That music became basically their de facto theme music in every movie after. It's a really good piece. They even played a bit of it when you saw Worf on the Defiant in First Contact. That was a nice touch.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Beastie Boys > Steppenwolf Especially since they used a cringy cover band for Magic Carpet Ride They used the SAME Beastie Boys song twice in three movies. They could have used Intergalactic, it had a call-out to Spock. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I recall it being leisurely, almost as if the bird of prey thought it had all the time in the world to play with it's target thanos to cloaking. Course it's been awhile. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: This. The only part of VI that makes me cringe is how Spock & McCoy are able to cobble together a guided photon torpedo in mere minutes, all while the cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey is blasting them without letup. Seems like cloaking technology would've been made instantly obsolete if it were that easy to defeat. I recall it being leisurely, almost as if the bird of prey thought it had all the time in the world to play with it's target thanos to cloaking. Course it's been awhile. IIRC, that photon torpedo was only to reveal its location, i.e. fire it at the source of the particles it was emitting…….. once it was revealed where it was, they let it have the works with regular weapons…….. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thought that was a Roddenberry quote (or it might've come from Blish) from the 60s? I vaguely remember reading an article with that observation in The Best of Trek which was printed in the late 70s. I think I heard it in the "chaos on the Bridge" documentary that came out awhile back |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Second best. Only Khan tops it. It was an excellent last hurrah for the Original Series crew. it was also the year of the 25th anniversary and the last season of TNG.. definitely peak Trek. |

Man I'm late to the thread but...
First Contact is #1 for me, but I prefer TNG over TOS anyway. I've never even see all of the TOS episodes. A DS9 movie would have been cool but not sure what they would have done. The Undiscovered Country is really good, until you realize that the Viridian patch that Spock (who just happened to be carrying said patch) slapped on Kirk's back would have been removed when Kirk was sent to the prison planet. How would they have tracked him? And like someone else said, Chekov being dumb about the phaser usage. But then even Wrath of Khan had inconsistencies - Chekov and Khan never met in TOS, yet they recognized each other. Chekov could have been explained away from reading mission reports but Khan? It's been a few years since I've seen the scene... |

Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Is the best. It’s pure sci fi at its finest. Great score even good acting. The effects still stand up.
The rest are just characatures of the tv series. While some of them fun and decent enough the motion picture is great The rest in order. WOK TVH TUC Anything else doesn’t count. All the Picard movies are dogshit and that one where they go to find god with spocks brother. Holly hell it’s bad. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: TWoK was the best. I don't think they could have found anyone better to play Khan than Ricardo. He nailed it. "Revenge is a dish best served cold. While sitting on rich Corinthian leather". Yup. I will say that my moms favorite is the one with the wales. She doesn’t like Star Trek though. I think the general public liked it the most. Chekov asking about a nuclear vessel in a thick Russian accent, Vulcan nerve pinch on the bus, concept of the wales nuking us and not us nuking them, Spock swimming in that tank, talking into the computer mouse, etc. it’s a really fun movie. Definitely among the better ones. Edit - had my movies mixed up. Uc is good though. |

Wrath of Kahn is the best. 6 is good, but I feel like it hasn't held up as well. I saw it in the theater, when I was in JHS and loved it. I recently watched it and felt like it wasn't as good.
Oh, and the TNG movies all suck gay cock. |

It's been a few years since I've seen the scene... Yeah the Viridian patch being somehow missed by the Klingons is another minor annoyance for me. Kirk & McCoy retained their Starfleet uniforms during that whole ordeal, but it seems pretty unlikely that the Klingons wouldn't have noticed that Kirk was obviously wearing some kind of tracking device when they first captured them, unless Klingons are just really stupid.  As for Khan recognizing Chekov, I've always subscribed to the theory that they bumped into each other at some point on one of the lower decks before Chekov was promoted to bridge duty, and that scene simply wasn't shown in "Space Seed."

It is indeed the best pure sci-fi of the Trek movies(and holds up well against a lot of non-Trek sci-fi back before sci-fi turned into the "action movie in space" trope that everything is now)... But wow, those uniforms are 70's trash. And those drawn out "let's drive around the ship in a pod forever" scenes... Well, it's like unskippable ads on streaming videos. Or unskippable cut scenes in a game. OK, I get it, they wanted to show off the shiny new refit exterior. But no, just no, cut it and forget it. |
