4 versions of STII? I know of STII, Star Trek Nemesis, and Star Trek Into Darkness. What is the 4th version?
Most people I know count First Contact as a remake of St2 even though it's plot is different. The basic theme of Picard wanting revenge is there(Even though they dealt with that on the series so it should not have been a problem at that point)and they quote from Moby Dick. That is close enough for a lot of people to see it as a repeat.
First Contact is a remake of Aliens, which is a remake of Them!.
I dare you to triple bill this one day and spot the connections, it's fun.
I'll have to try that next time. I have to say I never saw First Contact as a remake of Star Trek 2 myself but I tend to watch the movies with people who are not hardcore trekies. You know the type of people who watch the odd episode and who have seen the movies but can't name episode or tell you where the warp core is. Any way whenever I watch it with them they always say something along the lines of "They are just doing Wrath of Khan again" so I guess it is close enough for most people to count it as a remake.
