Of the Star Trek movies, the best is Khan. Hands down. However, my favorite one is The Voyage Home. I just loved the humor in that one and it came off as just a well rounded good movie. I loved Undiscovered Country, but Sulu should have been on the Enterprise. After the disaster of 5, there was no way that the original crew was going to get a lousy send off. 6 had to kick some ass. Thank God, Nicholas Meyer came back to direct. I think that is what saved that movie. The Search for Spock I liked better than I thought I would. The Final Frontier is just dreadful. Something went seriously wrong with that movie. I'd like to blame Shatner, but something tells me that he's not totally to blame. And The Motion Picture, well, I have a better affection for it since the Director's Cut came out on DVD. The film still isn't good it is at least more watchable.

The Next Gen movies haven't been all that great I'm sorry to say. First Contact was really good, but for Nemisis just fell a little bit short. I think that a longer cut of the film could really help that one. Generations is just lost. That film went no where and did nothing. Insurection. Well, I'm sort of torn on that one. I like it on a certain level but it would have been better as just an episode of the TV show. That's been the Next Gen's main problem with their movies. They just play out as BIG episodes of the show. Which is fine to a certain degree, but it really doesn't make for top grosses at the box office.

I still say that as far as new movies or more TV series after Enterprise, Trek is pretty much dead. It has been beaten to death. We have more than enough Trek to last us another 30 years. Let it rest for a while. Not long. Maybe five to ten years, but let it rest.
