I just tried watching Star Trek: Insurrection for the first time since I was 12.  The only nice thing I can say about it is that at least it's not Nemesis.

On the other hand, I also watched Star Trek 4: The Voyage home.  It was my very first Star Trek movie ever (I watched it when I was 11), and I actually enjoyed seeing it again after so many years (tied wit First Contact as my favorite Star Trek Movie).

Here's how I rank ALL the Star Trek Movies:



Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home

Loved the whales, I guess.  Maybe a biased pick due to the fact that it was the first Star Trek movie I ever watched.

Star Trek 8: First Contact

Great space battle, and I liked the scene where Picard mows down the Borg with a Tommy gun.

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn

Words cannot describe the pain.  It's the film's greatest strength and weakness.  

Star Trek (11th film, JJ abrams)

Good action flick.  I thought the new cast was pretty good.

Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country

I liked how Sulu was a captain in command of his own ship.  The final battle was alright too.  The film also brought some much needed depth to the relationship between the Klingons and the Federation.

Star Trek 12: Into Darkness

Another decent action movie.  Loved Benedict Cumberbatch and that guy who was in Robo Cop.

Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock

Not enough space battle.

Star Trek 1: The Motion picture

Pretty boring, although I can't recall any scenes I particularly disliked.

Star Trek 7: Generations

Data was pretty Jar Jar Binks-esque in the fact that he was annoying and not funny. The only reason this one isn't in the sh*t pile is due to the significance of Kirk's death, I guess.

Star Trek 9: Insurrection

Plot was lame.  The romance between Riker and Troi was awkward and didn't fit in with the plot of the film.

Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier

Almost as comically amusing as Superman 3.

Star Trek 10: Nemesis

Ewwwww!




Green=good, orange=meh, and red= .

Nemesis was not worse than the Final Frontier.

Although I disagree with your opinion, I respect it.


On another note, what movie did you think was the best?

First Contact is the first Star Trek thing I ever watched, and, even upon rewatching it and trying to remove the nostalgia filter, it's still my favorite film by far. Wrath of Khan was excellent too, though I admit I originally missed some of its depths (watching it as a kid, it's hard to get past those ear slug monstrosities ). I also really liked The Undiscovered Country for its (somewhat heavy-handed but still pertinent) political commentary.

I too watched Wrath of Kahn when I was young.  The ear creatures are arguably the most terrifying things in Star Trek other than the Borg. 

I have yet to see The Voyage Home (I'll admit that the weird premise is a bit of a turnoff for me...). I've also seen Generations, which I think is fine overall, though a bit slow and surprisingly lighthearted for being the episode when Kirk dies. No interest in seeing 1, 3 and certainly not 5. I'll probably get around to watching Insurrection and Nemesis once I'm done with the show.

Antonio if you're willing to give the Ferengi more of a shot, DS9 does a really great job with them. To the point of their society being significantly reformed by the end of it and the Ferengi characters of the cast are amazing standouts. (Slightly spoilery but whatever. It's how they get there that matters.)

I think they could have done a little better.  Remember Moogie?

Does anyone here collect starship models?  I have since I was 12.

Nemesis was not worse than the Final Frontier.

I'm curious as to why you think that. Sybok and Shinzon were both very contrived but at least we had some good pathos with Data and B4.

The sex scene where clone Picard tried to telepathically rape Troi was just wrong on so many levels.  Talk about being scarred for life!  

Also my personal favorite is First Contact, followed by the Voyage Home. I was just rewatching the Picard rage scene and Alfre Woodard had amazing chemistry with Patrick Stewart. Although, I do think it should've just been Beverly doing her role instead.

Good choices!
