Star Trek films

[Pat Mustard]

1. The Undiscovered Country (By far the best Trek movie... hands down. Valks is correct here.)
2. The Voyage Home
3. Wrath of Khan
4. First Contact
5. Insurrection
6. Nemesis (it kinda sucks, but has redeeming qualities)

That's my top 6. As for the others... they don't deserve a place on a "best Trek movies" list. (Why?)

The Search for Spock (dumb)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (long, drawn out, pointless, and boring)
The Final Frontier (dumb)
Generations (the captains escape the nexus by getting on their horses and deciding to "leap back to reality" on their horses-- so weak... also dumb)
Star Trek (not Star Trek)
Star Trek Into Darkness  (not Star Trek)
Star Trek Beyond  (not Star Trek)

Why would you put the worst of the (genuine) Star Trek films in your top six? Nemesis is Wrath of Khan without any of the understanding of the franchise, panache, attention to detail, good writing, competent directing, buyin from the actors, cinematography or anything else that made Wrath of Khan head and shoulders above every other movie in the franchise.

I'll tell you a story about Nemesis, they were due to have a big ass space dog-fight at the end, Romulan navy versus Federation navy, but they didn't have the budget in the end. They'd spent way too much money on stuff that was superfluous to the plot that in the end, they had to jettison their set-piece climax to the plot for Brent Spiner doing a Superman impression and a pensioner beating up a ship composed of "the greatest fighters in the galaxy" while only picking up one superficial wound.

The only good thing about Nemesis is that it didn't kill Tom Hardy's career.
