[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8549382, member: 7023840"] I realize that everyone is enjoying giving the Kelvin franchise a hard time (and I agree with some of the criticisms), but I think it might be kind of important to remember just how dire the Star Trek movie franchise has been. C'mon. Let's review. [B]1. The TOS Movies.[/B] This was the series that was so inconsistent that people came up with the "Even Movie Rule." Remember? Even movies are good, odd movies suck. There were six movies- one of them is best Star Trek movie ever (II). One is a good movie and a great love letter to the old cast (VI). One is a fun movie for the time (IV). On the other hand, one was a total misfire at the time that, with age has gotten a critical re-evaluation to "not as bad as you thought." (The Motion Picture). One is decidedly inessential and is somewhere between "meh" and "not that great." (III). And one is arguably the worst thing Star Trek has ever done. And I've seen Tom Paris turned into a salamander. (V). [B]2. The TNG Movies.[/B] Ouch. There's one good movie (First Contact- did you have to ask?). There's one bad movie (the one that you remember as "something something Kirk died"). And there's two movies that somehow manage to be both bad and so screamingly inessential that you don't remember what they were about, do you? Romulans, or clones, or F. Murray Abraham? Who knows? So, yeah, in comparison the Kelvin movies aren't that bad. The first one was fun- I watched it in the theater with people who don't watch Star Trek, and they had a good time. The second? Okay, that was decidedly mediocre. The third was probably the best one (IMO). All of them had some issues, but that's the case with every ... single ... Trek movie ever. Final Rankings of all Trek Movies- 1. KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! 2. Star Trek Beyond 3. Star Trek VI- We Are Too Old For This Sh... Stuff 4. First Contact with the Hot Borg Queen 5. Star Trek (2009- First Kelvin) 6. Star Trek IV- Whales are Cool, the 80s are Funny 7. Star Trek: The Slow Motion Picture 8. Star Trek Into Darkness with the Benedict Cumberkhaaaaaaaan! 9. Star Trek III- You knew we weren't killing off Spock, Right? 10. Star Trek Generations of TOS and TNG fans annoyed you crossed the streams 11. Getting into a conversation with a Star Wars Fan about the recent Star Wars trilogy. 12. Whatever those other two movies were in the TNG franchise. 13. Removing all of your fingernails and toenails with an icepick. 14. Star Trek V- The Final Frontier of Shatner's Ego [/QUOTE]
