The Undiscovered Country is such a treat. I remember seeing it in the theater as a kid but a lot of the Cold War allegory went over my head. Just watched it again a few days ago for the first time in probably 30 years. I think it's my favorite Star Trek movie.

Lemniscate Blue posted:First Contact is a good movie. It is not good Star Trek.  The only TNG movie that felt like Star Trek was Generations. All subsequent Star Treks, including the JJTreks, are generic sci fi movies with Star Trek veneers.

How many times across the original star trek and TNG did the enterprise leave the galaxy? For some reason I thought it was a lot but when I tried to think of specific episodes I could only come up with that TNG episode with the Traveler. Even when Q blasted them to see the borg for the first time it was still in the milky way.

Atlas Hugged posted:The Motion Picture is loving brilliant. Space battles are a little treat we get sometimes if we're nice, but this is what Star Trek should be about. 1 2 and 6 are all top-tier trek. TMP is obviously totally tonally different, but it's the only one of the star trek movies that really nails that feeling from the Q quote about space being wonderous subtle and gross but not for the timid. I can't rank it above 2 or 6 just because I have great memories of those, but I would've loved being in the theater to see TMP and even that long enterprise fly-by in star dock. Anyway.

DavidCameronsPig posted:The trick to enjoying TMP is to approach it as classical music album with some weird cool trippy visuals instead of as a blockbuster film that's supposed to depict a sequence of events occurring. It's 2001 with Kirk Spock and Bones. Don't need to hear anything else for me to be all about it.edit for something not so snide: Like 2001, I am still amazed at the special effects for the time. That spacedock shuttle flyby is panned by modern audiences for being slow and boring, but it's the first time the Enterprise (and not just the Enterprise, but the refit Connie) was on the big screen, and watching the movie back in the 80s was like watching Apollo 11 footage. Like it was promise of the future. Obviously the future turned out suck and now TMP is basically retro-futurism, but goddamn at that time it was amazing. Plus the size and scope of V'Ger. TMP captured the majesty of space in a way that none of the other Star Trek movies (and which only a few episodes of any Star Trek series) ever did.

Rewatching the TOS movies and I realized that the nautical, sub-in-space vibe of those films really gives them a sense of verisimilitude that all the other movies and shows lack. It's in a bunch of little things like Kirk calling for fulll astern. Cliff Eidelman's score in TUD with all the snare drums really adds to that feeling.

No Dignity posted:Honestly the revisionism on here around BSG is insane. The show started to get a little shaky around S3 and the ending was insanely stupid but the first two seasons were captivating and the popularity of the show as it aired was completely justified everything up to the escape from New Caprica was fantastic, minus some goofy characterization and pant-seat writing choices. But I never saw a show fall apart as hard as BSG did until GOT came out.Edit - House of Cards maybe Eason the Fifth fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Mar 8, 2024 |

counterfeitsaint posted:This is a great example of why prequels are garbage and make every setting worse. The only example I can think of where the prequel is better is (lol) Spartacus Gods of the Arena, and even then the writers still try to jam too much backstory and explanation into the plot. GotA is as good as it is almost entirely because of John Hannah chewing scenery as Batiatus. So I guess what I'm saying here is, if you want a good prequel, get John Hannah.

Atlas Hugged posted:I've said before that while I've seen TNG in passing, and obviously I've seen the big episodes like Best of Both Worlds and All Good Things, but I've never done a proper watch. As I'm nearly done with Enterprise, I plan to binge through Discovery to catch up with with season 5 as it wraps up. Then, I'm finally going to do a proper TNG watch. I am very excited to see consistently good Trek (after season 1...) week after week. To be honest, I think TNG really only bats about .500. Even past season one there are some really bad episodes (though most are just average). It's just the good ones are so good that they carried the franchise for years.

FlamingLiberal posted:Reg is way more interesting than any of those characters And way way better acted. I grew up knowing Dwight Schultz from TNG and the first time I saw the A-Team I couldn't believe it was him. Hell, I'd say after Patrick Stewart he's probably the best actor in TNG (easy) and maybe the entire franchise (not counting movie villains like Christopher Plummer or Tom Hardy). The Nth Degree wouldn't be as great of an episode as it is if the actor couldn't pull off the Flowers for Algernon transformation, and Schultz just crushes it. Those two contrasting Shakespeare scenes are so good. Eason the Fifth fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Mar 27, 2024 |
