Yeah, I know Matty, they set the bar so high after Wrath of Khan that everything that followed was a disappointment.

my friend had a theory. every 2nd Trek movie was good

Motion Picture bad
Wrath of Khan great
Search for Spock bad
The Voyage Home very good
The Final Frontier bad bad bad
The Undiscovered Country very very good

Generations bad (although its not horrible I enjoyed it somewhat)
First Contact good
Insurrection bad bad
Nemesis bad (this is where it breaks cycle)

Star Trek 2009 good
Star Trek Into Darkness debatable while its enjoyable its still not a great story and VERY lazy

 

[mattola]

GO BOLDLY!

I thoroughly enjoyed that heh. Especially at the end. However it was sad when I saw DeForest and James

Yeah, and it's going to get even sadder when Nimoy and Shatner are no longer with us.

I saw Nichelle at the Fan Expo here in Vancouver last year. I think Nimoy and Shatner have a little longer. Not sure why shes travelling all over the world for Expos. Just relax and retire.... she deserves it

Exactly how I feel. I caught flack for saying this after seeing it in the theater. It was fun but all they did was rehash the story from the second movie and switch places with Kirk and Spock. It just seemed like a cash grab playing off of fanboys nostalgia. The next movie will tell the legacy of this iteration of the cast.

3 will be interesting new writer and director as JJ is now on Star Wars. If they bring in a klingon war. I mean full scale Id be really happy. something we have never seen. and something I Want to see is Kirk as an Actual Starship Captain with tactics in battle in this series. we saw that in Khan, Search for Spock and Undiscovered Country but not at all in the new ones at least not IMO for what Kirk is supposed to be

Some people are just wired that way.

And Shatner is still a busy guy.

I'm glad my dad finally quit for good after smoking for close to 35 years - Almost lost him last summer to a strange infection, but he's doing very well these days.
