Trekkies: Which is the worst?

Post Reply New Topic

which Trek movie do you think is the worst?

I wont answer since they're all fantastic peices of sci fi.

But perhaps the least fantastic is Nemisis

I liked all of them, but the one that i liked the least was Star Trek: Generations, just seemed like such an arbitrary way to kill Kirk.

Just say no to hate!


All Star Trek is intrinsically excellent, but the least excellent of the list would be V (still quite excellent).

I'm torn between ST V: Grownups Are Stupid Sheep, featuring a starship crew committing mass mutiny because the nice Vulcan listened to their childhood traumas (and Scotty not knowing his way around his own ship!), and Nemesucks, with Action! Hero! Picard!, and a jeep (with wheels and everything!) with a pintel-mounted phaser. (If they were concerned about cultural contamination, there should not have been a phaser involved; if not, these people use casual gravitic control, and should have used some sort of contragravitic ground-effect vehicle. Also, the B-4 subplot was stupid, and rang in yet another version of Data not mentioned in decades of continuity.)

Nemesis was so bad I didn't watch it all.

I made it through Nemesis. I didn't think it offered anything new or original, and to me it felt like Trek going through the motions. But I watched it from start to end.

Insurrection, however, I stopped watching about halfway through. I think it was because its feel was just so different from the Star Trek I knew and loved. I especially disliked the humour, the jokes in the movie.

My brief take on these four films:

Frontier: A conglomirated mess of ideas which were considered in the past only to be tossed aside.
Nemesis: had the TNG cast in a story with the pesimism of Enterprise. Ironic I suppose since TNG got the best small screen sendoff that they would get the worst big screen one.
Insurrection: felt like a two hour episode of TNG which could've been told in one.
Generation: although the most conceptual of all the ST films, had a couple redeeming points (the Enterprise crash scene and Malcolm McDowell as the main bad guy).

I'd have to give the dishonor of worst film to Nemesis with Final Frontier as a close second. Insurrection takes third and Generations is fourth.

Frontier I like the least overall but there's bits and pieces that are excellent. Voyage Home is on the same level. "Its the 80s Lets Save Some Money and do a Time Travel Themed Star Trek Movie" movie.

Anyway, imo watching the "Trouble with Tribbles" ST episode followed by the Deep Space Nine tribbles episode is better than all those other movies except Wrath and Search for Spok, but that's me.

Nemesis sucked! Acting, writing, and directing was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy off
from the other movies!
