[QUOTE="Orius, post: 863712, member: 8863"] Well, I generally agree with your comments on the various movies. TWoK stands out at the top of the heap, because it's the most watchable of the movies. And even though the movies itself is about 20 years old, it still holds up pretty well. TUC is a pretty good movie too, although not a favorite of mine. FC is another one of my favorites, a solid action movie, which has the added treat of showing the first contact betweeen humans and Vulcans at the end. At the other end are the horrors known as [i]The Final Frontier[/i], [i]Generations[/i], and [i]Insurrection[/i]. TFF is a farcical comedy. It's got to be. There's no other logical explaination for the movie. Still, of the three worst, I find it to be the most watchable. [i]Generations[/i] is hands down my least favorite Trek movie. The storyline stinks, and they kill Kirk off. And he doesn't go out like a hero or something, he dies a pretty pathetic death. Yecchhh. [i]Insurrection[/i] is also pretty much unwatchable. A bunch of runaway kids come back to steal the Planet of Eternal Youth with the help of a rogue Starfleet admiral. That's basically the story in a nutshell. It's just a dumb movie that I find utterly boring. I think too, that the earlier TOS movies did well because they were the only original [i]Trek[/i] material available. Once you get past TVH, you had the modern [i]Trek[/i] series airing, so the fans could get their regular fix more easily. [/QUOTE]
