Mine it's a toss up. I love all the even numbered ones. If I had to choose a favourite, I think it would be Star Trek VI. The story just sucked you in and you just couldn't get enough of it. The intrigue, the anger. It was amazing. I loved it. But like I said, it would still be a tough choice, because each movie had their stellar moments.

I like Star Trek V.

Athena Zoden

Chief Counselor, Starbase 49

That one is not one of my favourites. But it's ok.

Steven Smith
Lieutenant
Chief Strategic Operations Officer, Starbase 49

Why is it "ok"?

Athena Zoden
Commander
Chief Counselor, Starbase 49

I just had a hard time getting into the 5th movie. but I felt that way about the 1st, 3rd and 7th also. It felt almost too preachy to me.

Steven Smith
Lieutenant
Chief Strategic Operations Officer, Starbase 49

Seems like all Star Trek movies are a little preachy in some way.

Athena Zoden
Commander
Chief Counselor, Starbase 49

Yeah. But this one seemed to be in your face with it. But that's just my opinion.

Steven Smith
Lieutenant
Chief Strategic Operations Officer, Starbase 49

More that I think about it, it was pretty in your face. But, that's not saying it was a bad movie. It's a GREAT movie. Please, "SAVE THE WHALES", if you want me to be preachy. LOL

Well, I know. But I guess the humor in the 4th one overshadowed that a bit. I liked the 6th one alot. also the 2nd one. Wasn't crazy about Generations. But liked those after that.

Steven Smith
Lieutenant
Chief Strategic Operations Officer, Starbase 49

If the Star Trek movies were bad, I'd say Generations was the bad one. That movie didn't click with me at all even though I'm not sure why.

Athena Zoden
Commander
Chief Counselor, Starbase 49

It didn't with me either. I think it's because in my way of thinking the characters were all unrecognizable. They were just not what I remembered. So I couldn't get into it.

Kent Taylor
Captain
Commanding Officer, Starbase 49

I got in to it real good, because the TNG crew was in it, the first movie with them in it, It had to be that way so the baton could be passed to the TNG crew. It was the first TNG made for the BIG screen not TV,it would BE different...

Voyage Home had alot of funny moments in it, and I also really liked Generations...I don't know, I just liked seeing both crews in one movie. But my favorite was First Contact, the whole movie was just so good...

Kent Taylor
Captain
Commanding Officer, Starbase 49

I forgot about First Contact it was really good too.
but then I like all the Borg episodes.

Oh, I didn't forget First Contact. I loved that one. I loved every TNG movie with the exception of Generations. I just couldn't get into it. I know I sound like a broken record, but the Chars were just unrecognizable to me. Even Kirk. The only ones that were really good in that one were Chekov and Scotty. But that is just my opinion.

Here's Generations again, LOLOLOL

I COMPLETELY dissagree with you Athena. Generations Was GREAT. Especially Data's Emotions. Surprized Join Me

Data's emotions weren't what bothered me. I had a hard time with him being frozen in terror when Geordie had been abducted. I don't think he would have done that. Unless there was something else affecting him. Which I don't think there wasn.

I love the idea of Data having emotions and looking at it through his eyes. That was just the coolest thing. In the end I've said before, it boils down to the chars being unrecognizable. I just figured it out! The comaraderie wasn't there. It was missing in Generations. I couldn't verbalize it until now. There was something missing in that movie and now I know. That was it. The interactions weren't right. They didn't fit. In the show, you got a real sense of loyalty. Of family with the TNG cast of Chars. In my opinion it wasn't there in Generations. The subsequent movies, probably because of Jonathon Frakes, it was most definitely there. It was like visiting an old friend with  First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis. In Generations, it was looking at a group of strangers and not knowing how to feel.

I hope that explains it a bit better.

It Completely Does (But I still like it Wink)

Comraderie? Thats a word? LOL, anyway that it the missing link to make the movie great like all the rest. Everyone had their own situation going on and none of them were interacting with each situation. Example, Picard on ground and Ship in space. No connection. Usually there would be an extra person or radio contact or something but there was no link. It was a very (no offence) poorly constructed or thought out movie.

Star Trek Generations--2293-then they cut to-2371.

Above are the dates, half of the movie is TOS, and the other half is TNG. I think they jump back and forth a little. I can see how that would be confusing...

It's not really just that. The time shifting isn't a big deal. You just don't have the closeness of the TNG crew in Generations that you had in the series. It's almost like seeing a bunch of strangers on screen. It's even that way when they interact with each other. That's what I didn't like about it.

Steven Smith
Lieutenant
Chief Strategic Operations Officer, Starbase 49

I beleive that maybe bringing back the Enterprise-C would fix that. ENT-C was the buffer between the times and that would solve the time difference between the two series.

Kent Taylor

I see no explanation why I like it is going to make you like it !!!

This is a computer model of the ENT-C. It is the predacessor of the ENT-D. A mix between Galaxy and Excelsior class designs.

Yup. I knew that one. Even though with all the ships it can get very confusing. At least to me, it can.
