First contact :eek: and I must say I nerd out over the battle in Nemesis too.

Literally just watched Nemesis tonight. I don't recall seeing this! The space battle was very cool, although Tom Hardy as the villain was very disappointing - was a scrawny little runt who came over as a petulant child. Found this much better than Insurrection though, Nemesis felt more like a ST TNG movies, whereas Insurrection felt like a 2 parter TV episode.

This is tremendous, although if we don't get a janeway cameo I'll be very disappointed.

Was interesting to see Admiral Janeway in Nemesis.

I remember seeing Nemesis the first time in the cinema when it was first released. And thought that they added Pulse Phaser Canon turrets to the Enterprise E when it fought the Scimitar. Turns out it was new look design for Photon Torpedoes, was slightly dissapointed at that. :( But always love for the Quantum Torpedo launcher in action (usually when things take a turn for the better; the "Hulking up" moment of Hulk Hogan and his Hulkamania in short :p).
 
It's very weird that they apparently have Kirks body on ice. The attack tribble was good for a laugh, unexpected. :D

I know some people don't like Nemesis but I've always really enjoyed it. Might buy the collection just for that.

The story never made much sense to me.

Maybe it would have worked better if they had Patrick Stewart also playing his Remus clone - Instead of Tom Hardy who looks nothing like him.

It has a poor director who seemingly didn't know anything about TNG, They put things in the script that the cast pretty much demanded before they would sign on to make the movie (Patrick Stewart wanted the dune buggy chase for instance, and wanted his character to be more action focused since First Contact) and Brent Spiner had too much input and had been lobbying to kill off Data since Insurrection. He was hoping for a 'Death of Spock' moment but it was handled badly and even then they gave them an out straight away by saying Data had uploaded all his positronic mind to B4 (With Brent essentially playing him as a child with learning disabilities)

People are talking about how bad some directors are and how they don't 'get' Trek or TNG...

One thing that's always bugged me...
In Generations, an old BoP destroying the Enterprise, yeah getting hit by a torpedo will make a mess of anything, but them finding out the shield frequency from Geordies visor, a bit far-fetched but possible..

BUT!!!

Post Borg invasion/Wolf 359, all Starfleet ships had nutational shields, which, as I understand, rotated the frequency to make them a bit more useful against the Borg, this, was pre-Generations, soooo, how did a BoP continue to punch through the shields and destroy the Enterprise...?!?!?!

I think I just mentally block out the dune buggy chase :D

I liked Tom Hardy though, looks issue aside.

I think they mainly just wanted to dispense with the Enterprise-D and model, so they could move over to a full CGI ship.

And it was a ham fisted way of destroying it.
 
Always annoyed me that, even when I watched it in the cinema all those years ago, them putting a Nebula class as one of the rescue ships at the end didn't make up for how easy it was to wreck the Enterprise...

Because it made for a cool explosiony space battle scene

I really like generations :D (perhaps one of the few)

I watched it again over the weekend. It's not a bad film at all. Everyone goes on about First Contact, but I found the middle part to be a bit boring.
None of the TNG films were brilliant.

...and......I didn't really like the Enterprise E :eek:

I didn't dislike Generations, but the first thing you do when someone pokes a hole in your fully charged sheilds is change them, or have a system that changes them for you, but this was plot holed...

Promote that man to head of security, worf you are fired you big cornish pasty head.

I watched VI the other night again
it really is the best one, its tom clancy in spaaaace
also it was the only OG crew film I saw in the cinema
its spectacular, the story, dialogue, the acting, the villains, the battles, the music

especially love some of the camera work like:

Kronos one arriving off axis and rotating to horizontal (visual metaphor to signify the Klingons moving onto our plane?)
handheld camera on the bridge during the attack on Kronos one to show the disorientation / chaos

also it has the best "fire" command in all of startrek

Yeah, 2 and 6 are just brilliant movies.
Generations better than it gets credit for, first contact v.good, insurrection very meh and nemesis a very mixed bag.

One thing I always bemoan is the Ent D never getting a proper movie quality hero scene outside getting bashed by an old bop.
I believe they wanted it gone as someone made the decision the model didn’t look great from certain angles. I think offset by the fact it looks amazing from others…
Ds9 ironically kinda rectified it by showing galaxy class ships bruising their way through cardassian fleets. But still would have loved to have seen a one on one with a d’deridex (my other fav model). Think they planned such a scene with the ent chasing away the romulan ship that attacked the observatory Soran was on, but cut it out :(

Still hoping the Big D makes an appearance, the opening scene from season 1 alone was :cool:

I love the Enterprise E even if nobody else does. :D I think it's from playing the Star Trek: Armada RTS games and kicking arse with a fleet of Sovvys.

but it's the underneath which looks dreadful, should have been smaller with a blue/red deflector array rather than bronze
