Best Star Trek film?

The last one of the new franchise is actually the only one I haven't been able to sit through even the first time.

Star Trek Beyond. I fell asleep 2/3 through in the cinema and have never bothered to try watch it again. It looked great, but it was Beyond Boring.

Whereas as that first one Star Trek 2009 was pretty damn good, and it's follow up Into Darkness was underated

 

C'mon man, it wasn't that bad. Everyone wanted to see Spock come back.

Plus... Doc Brown as a Klingon.

 

Your mom is Klingon.

 

I cant remember anything else except Spock coming back.

What was the rest of the film about?

 

Better a Kingon than a Cling-on

 

Klingons wanting the genesis torpedo. Kirk kicks a dude in the face into lava as the genesis planet falls apart. David dies.

 

The death of David Marcus (Born 2261 died 2285) was one of the highlights of the film – He was totally miscast and a real prick

 

Generations

 

Oh and uhh... The Enterprise gets blown up by self destruct. Forgot that tiny detail.

 

The Enterprise has been blown up several times

I would say countless but I bet some nerd here knows how many times

 

The Enterprise B didn't get destroyed... It got jacked up by the Nexus Ribbon in Generations where Kirk was thought to have died. The Enterprise NCC-1701 (no bloody A, B, C, or D) is the one Kirk captained that was destroyed in III.

Funny that the Enterprise B's captain was Cameron from Ferris Bueller's day off.

 

Interesting. Didn't know that.

Ships named Enterprise can't catch a break.

 

Yeah, love that episode of Star Trek; TNG in which they’re caught up in a causality loop and the enterprise keeps blowing up over and over again.

 

There's a similar theme in a Discovery episode with Harry Mudd (Dwight Schrute ). Love that one, and that character (which also appeared in the original series)!

 

Mudd also gets mentioned in Into Darkness... The little ship they use to land in Kronos was confiscated from Harry Mudd. (Story told in comic books leading up to the movie)

 

I like First Contact the best.

I think this is when Star Trek peaked in quality, both in the movies and on TV (it was season 5 of DS9). But the main reason DS9 was so good was because it was a ripoff of Babylon 5. First Contact was great on its own merits without stealing other people's intellectual property.

I also like Wrath of Khan, Voyage Home, and Undiscovered Country as a three-way tie for second place.

I'm not crazy about Search for Spock. But it isn't terrible either, and it provides a much-needed bridge between Wrath of Khan and Voyage Home. Those three movies are really a trilogy, and a trilogy works much better with the middle story included.

I like the reboots too, but I don't think they surpass 2, 4, 6, and 8.

 

First Reboot was good, would put that ahead of half of all the previous trek films.

Third reboot, Beyond, never actually managed to finish watching it, such a snoozefest, the worst of all trek movies really
