Of them all, Undiscovered Country and First Contact are my favorites because they beautifully combine intriguing plot with action AND the Star Trek ethos that carries the shows so well. Fans expect a Star Trek film to be more than just action. The plots have to be plausible and the characterizations true. It's even better when the main characters do what they do so well. One of my favorite scenes is in Voyage Home where Dr. McCoy gets to visit a 20th century hospital. It's just so McCoy and it's hilarious. First Contact too has some wonderful moments and you just want to jump out of your seat when Sulu replies to his helmsman, "Fly her apart then!" It isn't all exploring and negotiating. Sometimes you just need a great battle scene to test the mettle of the characters we all dearly love.

I hope the franchise gets revived the way Batman has. There are now three generations of fans out there waiting for the next caretakers to get it all right. It doesn't take a genius to do it, but it certainly takes a fan.

Here Here! Nicely said. Ah Sulu, McCoy (with a tear rolling down my cheek )
Gotta add Scotty attempting to talk to the Apple Mac II, and then inventing invisible plastic or something (wasn't that a violation of the temporal prime directive?)

I too hope it's revived. Actually I didn't think it was dead- paramount just got tired of it and pulled the rug out from Enterprise, which everytime I watch the re-runs was really good.

The wrath of khan wasn't anything like the T.V. Show, and unlike the first Star Trech, It made sense. I know someane else stated they weren't a fan of the original series nor the others. But the movie was good. Anyone watch William on Boston Legal ? Least he's not playing Kirk !!!!! Then the new movie would be called, " The search for a new nursing home "

Oh my god we have trekkies on CD!!!!

I just got into a big fight with my husband at Wal-mart b'c he wanted to buy The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan. We've been together for 8 years and never once has he ever mentioned liking Star Trek and all the sudden he wanted to get these movies. What a dork. I guess they just came out?

I don't know whats worse , W. E. fans that believe everything in it is real, or Trekkies that half to dress their favorite caractors at the age of 40 or fifty.

Gotta go with The Wrath of Khan. The entire cast looked like they were having the times of their lives.

Heh. They sure did spend a lot of time squaking about not violating the prime directive, and then violated it anyway.

Never watched much of the Next Generation stuff, just the original series from the 60's....Wrath of Khan was hands down the best of the six movies. I give it an A minus overall. The first movie and the "Search for Spock" were absymal. Five and six I don't recall, which might just well equate to the fact that I don't want to remember those either! #4 seemed more like a "Save the Whales" marketing campaign, but all the same, I enjoyed #4, because it brought back much of the humor and chemistry between the main characters that was much of the allure of the original TV series.

I have to admit I love Star Trek in any form.... movies. original series...etc. Only series I didn't really get into was Deep Space Nine, it was too political for me.....The struggle of good against evil, and the good guys win!!! Doesn't get much better, for me....

IV. The one where Spock was kind of whacked out and put the Vulcan Grip on that punk rocker. That made the show. The whales were boring though. I thought that South Park had a much better Whale sequence on their show.

I loved the whales! Very mystical and haunting. Well done movie, same for all of them. Also liked the little "romance" between Shatner and the blonde woman who threw herself on him to enter the time warp.

Well most interesting for me in the whales scene was wondering if William Shatner's toupe was going was going to survive him going under water. I guess at that point he switched to a "hair club for men" system
