PinkyGen's guide to the Star Trek Movies:
Star Trek I: The Motion Picture: I don't remember much of it, saw it while I was young. Sort of slow, not very exciting when it got going. Some neat affects and shots of the Enterprise. Too brainy
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: Khaaaaaaaaaaan! Ah, nothing beats this battle between Kirk and Khan, the best ever Star Trek Villian. Great space combat, good cat and mouse game.
Rating: 5 of 5 stars.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: Decent. First view of Excelsior, Klingon Bird of Prey, scene of Enterprise getting destroyed is breathtaking. However, the plot is quite literally the search for spock, it just seems to be missing something. Not a bomb, yet not truly memorable
Rating: 3 of 5 stars.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: The Whale Movie. I liked it, it was funny, seeing Kirk and company in 80's San Francisco, having Checkov in his Russian accent ask "Where are the nuclear wessels?" Scotty talking into a Mac's mouse: "hello computer". Some find it boring, I find it amusing.
Rating: 4 of 5 stars.
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier: Ahhh, truly horrible, never let Shatner direct again. The plot is ridicilous, the whole concept of searching for God in space. The Enterprise A looks like a piece of crap, the crew gets taken for a ride, Uhura is reduced to dancing in the nude, Sybock is unintersting, and fool of technical errors (74 decks? Enterprise able to reach center of galaxy?) Truly an insult. However, it is not the worst movie ever, for it has one redeeming factor.
Kirk, McCoy, and Spock camping in Yellowstone, Spock saving Kirk with the rocket boots there, and them all at the camp fire, talking. Truly the Big 3 at one of it's best, get's even more amusing when McCoy and Kirk "Go, go row your boat" to Spock's consternation. Sadly, the rest of the movie blew this.
Rating: 1/2 of 5 stars.
Star Trek VI: Good plot, resembles the US vs USSR and search for peace. Good fight scene near the end at Khitomer, good crew interactions on their last mission, Spock saying "If I were human, I believe the words would be, 'Go to hell!' If I were human."
Rating: 3 1/2 of 5 stars.
Star Trek VII: Generations: First TNG movie. Enterprise B looks greatl, but Enterprise-D get's destroyed in a very poorly done battle scene. Some parts still look more like TV than a movie. Nexus is not that great an idea, Kirk's deaths are not really that great befitting a character of his importance.
Rating: 2 1/2 of 5 stars.
Star Trek: VIII: First Contact: Now here is a movie, not a TV show. Excellent action scene's of fighting the Borg, both in space, and later on the ship. Picard wigging out a little, and worries over Data's loyalties. Hampered by some boring parts on the ground, and a sense that it seems somewhat more of an action movie than an actual Star Trek movie. Also, Borg space battle a little too short, and the Borg Queen totally changed the concept of the Borg (for the worse in my opinion).
Rating: 4 of 5 stars.
Star Trek: IX: Insurrection: Just really hard to take seriously. I didn't like the anti-technology people on the planet, and actually thought they were quite greedy. What happened to the "Needs' fo the many outweighting the needs of the few?" Picard's romance not that good, and the Enterprise E second battle is truly horrendously done, with it generally running around and getting beat up on until they pull some cheap technobabble trick.
rating: 2 of 5 stars.
As for other movies, I actually found Dude Where's my Car to be somewhat amusing to watch, and not as bad as I feared. Sort of like Bill and Ted, though not that good. Who needs to think?
