How this film made Khan boring is a mystery that will be hard to understand for a long time. He doesn't have the charisma to convince viewers to overlook the plot holes and bizarre character choices that make Into Darkness unwatchable. The sacrifice that is so poignant in Wrath of Khan falls flat because the relationship between Kirk and Spock is not as good as it could be. Carol Marcus is wearing underwear.
The core idea of Final Frontier is that Spock's half-brother hijacks the Enterprise so he can fly it to the center of the universe and meet God. The script was grounded before it could get off the ground because of the writers strike. If it wasn't for William Shatner, the mess would still be watchable. He was going to take the director's chair and he did it. Do you know if the stories about Shatner's ego are true?
Hardcore Star Trek fans don't know what Insurrection is about. It is the cinematic equivalent of a short episode. There is a decision to relocate a small. The Federation wants to claim their unique natural resource for themselves. Picard feels betrayed by the apparent disregard for the Prime Directive. This movie isn't really good or bad. It's all there. Watching Insurrection won't ruin your day or make it any better, so do as you please.
Before he was a character like Venom or Mad Max, Tom Hardy was a character like Picard. He kills the Romulan senate, lures Picard and crew to Romulus under the pretense of peace negotiations, and he has an artificial intelligence that looks similar to Data. The plot is a mess of identity, telepathy, and revenge that doesn't have stakes or characters worth caring about. Data sacrificing himself to save Picard is the movie's most emotional scene. I downloaded my brain into the computer. Troi and Riker tied the knot.
It has Christopher Lloyd as a fictional character. Everything else is on the plus side. After sacrificing his life to save the Enterprise, Spock's casket is shot into space and settled on the Genesis planet. The film begins with a question about how to get Spock's consciousness back into his body. Does Spock go through puberty? That's really bad. The Klingons murdered Kirk's son. I don't know what to say. The whole film is cheap. It is an homage to Trek, but it is very strange after seeing Khan. The movie almost isn't worth it if you're not aware that it had to get Spock back on the Enterprise.
The torch from the cast of The Original Series to that of The Next Generation was supposed to be passed on. The film set a century after they were zipping around the universe is less than elegant and more than unnecessary. Generations spends so much time waving goodbye to the old crew that it never really gets going as a film.
If I were you, I would put this here for the line about the beats and shouting. Krall, Beyond isn't concerned with nuances. Style over substance is the definition of fast and loud. The scene in "Sabotage" is set to the Beastie Boys. Does it look cool? When you want to sit back, turn your brain off, and enjoy a lot of exciting fight and chase scenes, this is the movie for you. Beats and shouting is what Star Trek Beyond is described as.
The ponderous pacing and pure 70s-ness of the costumes make The Motion Picture a difficult film to watch. A cloud of energy is headed for Earth and will destroy everything in its wake. How else is Kirk going to have an excuse to take over command of the Enterprise? The Motion Picture shows its age more than most of the other films of the franchise, but was a perfect vehicle to move the crew from small screen to theater. There is a great reveal about V'ger's true nature.
Voyage Home leans heavily on humor. It goes for a classic fish-out-of-water scenario. The only creature that could respond to an alien probe was the whale. In order to prevent the unanswered probe from destroying the planet, the crew of the Enterprise traveled back to 1980's San Francisco to snatch a couple of whales. The ecological message isn't preachy. Chekov asking anyone if they know where the "nuclear wessels" are, Scotty cooing "Hello, computer" into a mouse, Kirk yelling "Double dumbass on you!" to an angry driver are all immensely charming and hilarious.
Do you think it's a good Trek film? It might be possible. It is fun to see Kirk and Spock's stories. It's absolutely true. Watching baby Spock beat the snot out of someone at school is very gratifying and seeing the father whose shadow Kirk can never escape is equally gratifying. Leonard Nimoy is a delight in his final turn as Spock, and the story does a good job of twisting the timelines so that the reboot doesn't getbogged down by everything that happened before it. The spirit of unfettered adventure exhibited by The Original Series makes the crew into more than just set dressing there to push buttons. One of the best lines in all of Star Trek is "I'm Nero"
In every scene of the movie, Commander Riker's deep love of Trek shines through. The conclusion to Picard's story in The Next Generation episode "Best of Both Worlds" is what makes this a Trek movie for Trek fans. The Borg were trying to disrupt First Contact, the event that started the universe. Even though Data is tempted by her promise of humanity, Picard has to face the Borg queen. The plot about getting First Contact back on track explores how people step up when called to lead.
This is a movie and some of the entries on this list are over-inflated. A get-more-popcorn-and-shut-the-heck-up-until- the-credits-roll movie. Kirk has to serve as a liaison for the Federation after his son was killed by the Klingons. Kirk and McCoy will be imprisoned and Spock will turn the Enterprise upside down in order to find the murderer. Christopher Plummer is having a blast playing the character of a William Shakespeare quote. Nicholas Meyer is the director of this film. One of them is...
That is the real chest of the man. If you only want to see a single Trek film, this is it. Khan is a remake of the movie "Moby Dick" in which the genetically superior Khan chases his white whale. Montalban and Shatner provide the perfect counter for each other, and they are at the top of their game. The film's director, Nicholas Meyer, shows great patience in the film's final scene, drawing out the tension as Kirk and Khan hunt each other. Khan feels very personal as you watch the great men spit and claw at each other.
