Favorite film? My brother and I watched The Voyage Home and The Undiscovered Country several thousand times growing up. 
 

The battle sequence in Undiscovered County is unparalleled in Star Trek history. The Voyage Home was such a wild premise and they pulled it off while bringing attention to whale conservation. 
 

Generations is my favorite TNG film. Obviously. 
 

I was talking about this with a coworker recently and his favorite is Khan and then First Contact. 

Voyage Home and Undiscovered will always be my favorites...just the right time in my childhood for Whales...and I think UC is one of the most underrated movies in the entire franchise(Wrath is a great movie too)

Wrath, then Undiscovered Country. Special shoutout to my guilty pleasure, Insurrection 

First Contact would be mine...

Hope she didn't have to take the Oath to Star Fleet.  Wowza.

So it sucks. 

I believe their review is that it's "harmless" 

It sounds like it's fine, but isn't groundbreaking.  Can you really expect much more from a straight to streaming movie based on a show that ended and likely doesn't really tie in much to SNW/Academy?

I'd put Voyage Home 3rd and ST(2009) 4th with First Contact right behind...but otherwise not a bad a list.  No real complaints.

Also, I'm glad they're higher on Beyond than most...i think that's a fun Star Trek movie more in line with one of the good single story episodes. It's better than Into Darkness for sure.  The main reason i wouldn't mind that cast doing another movie is based on how much I enjoyed that one.

IIRC they had another one planned, until (Checkov?) died. Been crickets since. 
 

 

Not all crickets - just a lot of non-news.  It's been 9 years though....

But yeah, Beyond was good.  Anything was better than Into Darkness.

Beyond was stupid fun. Which isn't usually ST's mode, but I still enjoyed it more than most ST flicks.

Also, ST:TMP's anniversary edition director's cut is so much better it's not even the same film as the original. You finally see what they were getting at.

also agree with ranking ST5 last... that movie was absolute ass

Only redeeming feature was the Romulan ambassador.

Better.  You have a musical, a great time travel/alt universe and a season finale that could be its own movie.

God I love that musical episode.  It's like my happy episode I play when I need a pick me up. 

That and the LD/SNW crossover.

Cho was really the only one that wasn't great casting(and I like Cho in general) but other than being asian he wasn't Sulu.

Reeked of white boy "all Asians lol the same to me" bullshit. A Korean dude playing a Japanese character? Might as well hire an Israeli to play a Palestinian.

Not just that, he just didn't pull off "sulu" for me.

Urban WAS Bones.  Quinto pulled off the incredibly difficult task of being Nimoy as Spock. And Pegg as Scotty was just perfect.

No Chris Pine isn't the same as Shatner...but the playboy charming charisma of Kirk? Yeah Pine has that in spades.

Is this the first Star Trek that we’ve seen anal sex in since Riker banged the Kalaxian in that TNG season 3 episode?  And even then it wasn’t shown like it was here, just hinted at, and Riker didn’t know Kalaxians had two anuses instead of an anus and a vagina.

Edit: Whoops, not Star Trek Section 31.

You can tell this was supposed to be a series, and a very lightweight series at that.  This was done by somebody who thought it would be funny to have a fucking Irish Vulcan, rather than somebody who had a reverence for ST.

Probably to match the Irish Romulans from Picard.
