These two (and 1, 2, 3, 7 and 10) lack the element of allegory that are characteristic of a TV show episode. Insurrection leans heavily into the allegory. I guess 5 is trying to be allegorical, but it’s messaging is very confused. “Cults are bad” I guess.
I never really got the love for First Contact. It’s… OK. It has the benefit of being the only non-awful TNG movie, I suppose.
I think it manages to get comedy, character beats, action and horror together in one movie, and still remain coherent. But for me, not having Shatner in it is a major plus.
I'm going for broke. I liked the Motion Picture, the Search for Spock, and Nemesis.
I like two of those films. Not as much as Khan or Voyage Home, but I like them.
One of these days I should rewatch TMP. It has been a long time and I bet I don't find it as plodding as I had when I was younger.
If we had a chance to sit down for a pint or 5, we might find more in common than not.
It’s boring and humourless, but it’s not embarrassing.
After a long drought it was something we fans really looked forward to, but it just barely scratched the itch for me. It was nice to see the new Enterprise, but they could have easily shaved minutes off the run-time by cutting it back, without sacrificing anything. Other than that it was essentially a rewrite of TOS episode "The Changeling."
