I always believed in the rule of two with regards to the Star Trek movies, but on watching two, three and four I think they make one great continuous story

Shame five was so crap

On rewatching I even thought bits of Star Trek the Motion Picture had some merit

Looking forward to the Undiscovered Country tomorrow which i think is the best of the movies followed closely by The Wrath of Khan.

I really liked STtMP. It drags on a bit though.

I skipped The Voyage Home (any good?). Decided to watch Die Hard instead.

The Voyage Home is fantastic fun. Its probably the best "feel good" Trek movie

Fuuuuuuuuuuudge! i completely forgot! :mad:

At least i can watch the second half tomorrow

Ev0 · 16 Oct 2010 at 23:25

hmm what do I do, had planned to watch Taken or something else tonight, but do I watch ST5 again instead?

JoeFX69 · 17 Oct 2010 at 13:09

Loved the little interview clippets yesterday, fascinating stuff

No you don't, it's muck. Go watch Taken, much better.

They cut the best bit out of Search for Spock.

" I... have HAD... enough of... YOU!!!!!!!!!!!"

Actually I think they've cut all the films to pieces since I've spotted at least 2 cuts in the undiscovered country

I did, first time I'd seen Taken, thought it was good.

They cut Data saying "Oh ****" in Generations. And the Needle-On-Picards-Eye-Borg scene. Shame on you Film4

Mate, they cut this to bits! No arm coming off scene, no scene at the end talking about the Human-Not-Klingon assassin.......AARRRRRRRRRRRRr

The Star Trek specials are great, I have recorded them all.

Mind... still in trek mode... spent... all weekend... on sofa... must... find coffee...

CaptainRAVE · 18 Oct 2010 at 10:03

Watched quite a lot of this while playing Star Trek online. A great weekend

Russinating · 18 Oct 2010 at 11:17

Watched a fair bit of this but missed The Final Frontier (out of choice, was late and didn't seem that good) and Insurrection and Nemesis. Might download the latter two.

Make it so!

The Dread Pirate · 18 Oct 2010 at 11:25

Ah coffee... Thrusters on full.

Ah what a great weekend.

I watched the first three on Saturday and all of them yesterday, I even watched Nemesis (shudders) in bed with it streaming from my PS3 to the PSP via remote play. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the battery died half way through which was slightly annoying as I couldn't turn the PS3 off remotely.

I now have them all saved to my PS3's HD (and no room left....

)

I had forgotten how good first contact was!
