A TV movie that followed up on DS9 might be good. A feature film that followed up on it would almost certainly be horrible and fail. Exactly how many people would know what was going on, and how would TPTB explain all the necessary back-story, ad deliver a plot in two hours?
"If that's the sort of arguement you're going to make, we could also say it's a multiple of five, so it's going to be one of the worst things to ever be shown on a movie screen."
You know, I'd rather that, than have the film be a multiple of 1. Can you imagine a film ten times as boring as The Motion Picture? Brains would just stop.
"Frakes, MacFadden, and Sirtis will need another "The Next Generation" movie to pay the bills. I would not be surprised to see at least one more "The Next Generation" film. "
I don't think that Frakes needs the money. Even if Insurrection was a bit of a flop, Firct Contact was well received and led to him being given a lot of directing offers. Even if that fails, he could almost certainly surive directing for TV. Frakes does Trek because he really, really likes it. He once commented that he'd kill to have had Shatner's career.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
