Movie Rating...

[StolenThunder]

The other one of these disappeared a while back... And people's views change...

So... Rate the movies...

1. Star Trek: First Contact... This film has an excellent story, looks supreme, is very well acted by the characters, and has some brilliant script writing... [9.5/10]

2= Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country... Again, an excellent story with some excellent writing and performances. Perhaps needed a little sharper edge to it, but otherwise excellent. [9/10]

2= Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan... Yet another excellent story, with yet more very good acting. Some excellent scenes make this very accomplished. [9/10]

4. Star Trek: The Final Frontier... Ok, so the majority of people hate this film. But I like it. The story is ambitious, and I think carried out well. The interplay between characters is very well done. Not brilliant, as there are some weak moments.. but still good. [8.5/10]

5. Star Trek: Insurrection... The story again is very good. The interplay is good, and it looks very pretty. [8/10]

6= Star Trek: The Motion Picture... Very atmospheric, with a decent story. It is acted well, and also nicely scripted. Good. [7.5/10]

6= Star Trek: Generations... It had some weak moments, but the acting is good, and it passed on the Star Trek movie baton well. [7.5/10]

8. Star Trek: The Voyage Home... I used to really like this movie, and some moments are decent, but after a time the jokes are dull, the story unoriginal, and it really fails to stand up to repeat viewings. [5.5/10]

9. Star Trek: The Search for Spock... This movie is terrible. It fails to impress on nearly all levels, and really is bad. [4/10]

[Note that the reviews became somewhat more concise nearer the end. Arsenal scored, and so my attention became somewhat divided...]

1. Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan... Spock was never better, Kirk gave him his due at his "funeral" and I tend to judge a story more for its villain than the heroes and Khan is the best Trek villain IMO[9.9999/10](I'm stingy with my 10's)

2.  Star Trek: Insurrection...not everyone's favourite, but I'm a huge Gilbert & Sullivan fan and I like stories where heroes challenge the status quo and Insurrection does both with style and gusto![9.5/10]

3.  Star Trek:  The Voyage Home...Nimoy is an excellent director that had the plum assignment of his career:  do a Star Trek film the way you want to do it.  The other cast members must have been pleased with what he did because it showed![9/10]

4.  Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country... The last Spock appearance on film...so far.  *Sigh*  At least we got to see differing viewpoints of the Klingon Problem from Kirk and Spock.  It was an honest debate between a soldier and a diplomat:  Can we trust our former enemies and what do you do with a man of war when the war is over?  Top marks for everyone involved, including guests Warner and Plummer as the classiest Klingons I've seen since Kang, Kor and Koloth appeared on the "small screen.[8.9/10]

5.  Star Trek:  Search for Spock...Obviously an afterthought for Wrath of Khan, but good Klingon interplay and the "dog" on the bridge was a nice touch.  It shows that even nasty Klingons aren't all bad.  The original Enterprise received a Viking's funeral which brought a tear to my eye on first viewing, but at least Spock was back!  Hurray!!![8.5/10]

6.  Star Trek:  Generations...The passing of the torch from TOS to TNG.  Well intentioned but spotty in parts.  We don't know what ship Chekov is going to command(at least I don't remember it being mentioned), Doohan is playing Scotty as an obvious substitute for De Kelley's Bones, and Uhura should have been there to introduce Sulu's daughter to Kirk IMO.  Otherwise, the TNG portion was handled well and the Picard/Kirk interplay was enjoyable to watch.  People were sad when Kirk died, but it was an important example of the fact that even heroes aren't indestructable.[8/10]

7.  Star Trek:  The Motion Picture...The VHS version had restored some scenes that were needed to give it a "human touch" which I found sorely lacking after thinking about what I saw in the theatre.  I was thrilled at the time of the actual viewing that Trek was back, so I had to recover my excitement before I could give an honest evaluation of the film.  It would have been interesting to see the Kirk/Decker relationship develop more and Xon would have really been a refreshing change to the "stressful return of an old friend" scene that was admittedly painful to watch.  Overall, it was an "it wasn't the best but it could have been worse" summation for this film.[7.5/10]

8.  Star Trek:  First Contact...The Borg were overused in TNG and VOY IMO.  We got to know a little more about them in this film, but they were still limited in their potential as genuine threats unlike their promising debut in their first TNG TV appearance.  Brent had interesting things to do as Data and I deeply envied him when he kissed the Queen(I've seen film appearances of Alice Krige out of the Borg make-up).  Good Picard/Worf interplay. Overall average Film Trek fare.[7/10]

9.  Star Trek:  The Final Frontier...I won't join the bashers and throw obvious barbs at this film.  It was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, so it shouldn't be surprised that this invited a lot of Shatner jokes and not too few targets for the "bad Trek" episodes that remain fresh in the minds of even casual Trek viewers.  Even though it's "just a TV show," that doesn't mean that fans will enjoy even an affectionate rib-poking of their favorite show by its star.  The "heroes seek God and find the Wizard of Oz" concept has been used to death in TOS and I was disappointed over how Shatner handled it.  Maybe he should have Shatnerised it like he did on "his novels."[6/10]
