[QUOTE]Originally posted by mrneutron: [QB] The films in the order I'd watch them, and why: 1. The Motion Picture DE -- Its flaws are many, but it's a movie as opposed to a TV episode masquerading as one. 2. The Undicovered County -- A nice change of pace utilizing a "whodunnit" approach. Great opening. Great climax (even if it steals wholesale from "The Manchurian Candidate"). Key problems are some out-of-character characterizations, a mystery that is no surprise at all, and out of left field literary quotes that don't really fit. 3. The Voyage Home -- Mostly harmless. A fun diversion. 4. The Wrath of Khan -- A fun film, but overrated. Feels like a TV movie of the week. Its pretensions at depth are to make allusions to literature rather than itself having something memorable to say. I find myself fast-forwarding through the scenery-chewing parts. 5. First Contact -- A good concept and nice dramatic tension somewhat undermined by out of place "humor". Suffers from the three-times-too-long anticlimax that typifies a lot of Trek films. 6. The Search for Spock -- Nice idea marred by some of the dumbest science ever seen in Star Trek and the flattest cinematography in the series. 7. The Final Frontier -- Very bad script, and Shatner's not just hammy, he's a pork dinner...but his direction's really not bad. Has a real sense of energy. Some nice cinematography is nullified by some beyond awful special effects. 8. Generations -- Weak script, unevenly paced, and shoots its wad at the end of act two instead of at the finale. 9. Insurrection -- A flat out bad script that feels like a committee decision, adolescent humor, and weak direction. I suffered through it once in a theater and will never ever watch it again.
