This is the perfect Star Trek film in my opinion.
Agree? Disagree?
Do you like the director's edition?
Let's talk The Motion Picture.
Eh, probably my least favorite of the original series. But then Final Frontier was my favorite, so my opinion is obviously worthless.
Still. 5 > 2 > 3 > 6 > 4 > 1
a most logical conclusion
Completely agree. It encapsulated the spirit of the show better than any of the other Star Trek movies. My second favorite behind Search for Spock. Director's edition is GOAT.
>>62744926
Agreed. It's still beautiful after all these years. When this premiered on television in the early 80's it was shown over two nights. It was the comfiest thing ever. Yes, I am that old.

>>62744926
I am a fan of the OS, but have yet to see any of the movies. Should I?
I always get teary eyed when Kirk first sees the Constitution class refit in Space dock
The Undiscovered Country is by far the best.

It is the best Star Trek film next to "The Wrath of Khan", a great Science-Fiction film in general (and a BETTER Sci-Fi film than TWOK), but it's not without imperfections.
Unfortunately it is quite apparent that the ending was scripted "on the go". If the ending had been as sophisticated as the rest of the movie it would indeed have been close(r) to perfect.

What the fuck? Was that a javelin, a spear, did something in the set break and almost killed Nimoy?
>>62748480
it clearly busted part of the set and hit nimoy's shoulder, he just acted through it, it looks like
>>62748436
Proof that Spock's one helluva pilot if he could emergency land in a 30'x30' patch of sand in the middle of a boulder field.
"Commander, tell me about your sexual organs."
>>62748537
At least we now know where Lucas ripped the Wampa scene from.
>>62748605
it's a lot more spartan than the later shuttlecraft & carries a larger crew complement

>the music of Star Trek I is a failure
Do these writers even try?
>>62748848
>>62748480
Those were javelins thrown by giant caveman guys.
One of them busting that styrofoam rock was clearly an accident though. And I'm not sure that it happened on purpose when they almost hit Nimoy and the guy he was carrying.
They probably had rubber points though...
>>62744926
A massive disappointment at release.
The fans had been so hungry for new trek (a ten year wait, roughly), and what they got was a mish mash of a TOS episode (The Changeling) and a TAS episode (One Of Our Starships Is Missing).
The WTF over the "new" Klingons was pretty pronounced as well...
>>62748561
Too bad CBS/Paramount didn't regard it feasible to just recomposite and clean up the old effects shots (given that was even POSSIBLE, of course) as they did on TNG, instead of replacing them with CGI.
While of course the old effects shots look shitty from today's perspective and the use of stock footage is really conspicuous, the CGI work in some TOS-R episodes was just so fucking sloppy!
>>62748848
"Balance of Terror"? – One of my all-time favorites!
Why did they have to nerf the Romulans so much starting with TNG?

V'ger was so spooky. I have never seen an alien captured like that again in Star Trek.
That is what Trek is suppose to be about..... meeting aliens.
So WHY has Star Trek been about some evil dude Kirk has to stop (Shinzon, Nero, Khan) for over 10 years of movies?????

In retrospect its a bit too full of the space ship porn/visual spectacle aspects of the movie, and the sets and uniforms were pretty bland, but I do agree that its a great star trek movie (have not seen directors edition, but I still have to go with wrath of khan as best)
>>62744926
I fucking love these movies (maybe less so for 5).
They're just so damn enjoyable to watch.

You should see 1 and 2 for sure. After that, it's all pretty much downhill.
>>62744926
>Perfect film
>Nearly killed the franchise
What's amazing is that they did the exact same thing in TNG: put Roddenberry in charge, let him fuck everything up for 2 seasons until the execs stepped in and made changes.
The transporter kills you.
The being that comes through on the other end is just a copy, born with the memories of the person who was sent through.
>>62749084
What did you like about Into and 09?
I tried very hard to view them with an open mind but found very little to take away.
Into grappled a little bit with the Starfleet-as-military-or-peacekeepers problem. But the execution was way off. It doesn't look like they'll revisit that point, in the manner of an overarching plot. Might've been interesting if they'd set it up as a trilogy, with Starfleet becoming increasingly militarized.
>>62749233
Is the Blu-Ray edition actually worth buying?
I mean, considering it leaves out all the additional footage of the DVD version
>>62749321
>its a bit too full of the space ship porn/visual spectacle
It was worthy it.
It's not all this blurry fast visual CGI shit Michael Bay shoves in his movies, you can actual enjoy looking at the visuals in TMP
>>62745914
Just like the books of the Aeneid, the rule is "the even ones rock, and the odd ones suck."

Life is just a meme anyway, anon. Hell, Data being a sentient lifeform is canon. They kill him at least once per season whenever he gets shut down. Wesley Crusher is technically life. Am I supposed to cry a river every time Wesley gets transported?
Wasnt TMP made around the time this guy did that creepy sick pedo shit?
>>62748468
What the fuck? I don't remember that.
>>62749408
but 2, 3, and 4 form a trilogy
>>62749337
I like the fact that the song playing in this scene was quite haphazardly written and recorded by one of the movie's associate producers along with some other staff members (namely of the sound department) and some buddies. They recorded it in some studio hallway.
The guy's name was Kirrk Thatcher and as a matter of fact he himself played the punk in that scene.

Into has more flaws than 09 but what good is in it surpasses them easily.

> None of the campy whiny bullshit we got with Data in TNG.

I would point out that mildly controversial posts get deleted on reddit, but the same happens on 4chan's enthusiast blue boards, even if you didn't technically break a site rule but just have an opinion contrary to the board norms. Some of them have overzealous mods and janitors. You disagree with someone and suddenly get banned from all boards for 5 days. In the good ol' days, you had to post serious CP to earn a 5-day ban.
>>62744926
It's a great movie, made even better by Jerry Goldsmith's career best score. The Director's Cut is really well done, it trimmed down some of the overdone effects shots and added some clarifying shots that really added to the film. I wish it would come out on BRD.
I love The Motion Picture, but you can really tell it was a two-parter they just turned into a film. It's been a while since I saw it but I can't remember there being much in the way of urgency towards the end of it. I know V'Ger was heading for Earth, and the implication was it would blow it up or something, but it seemed like the story forgets about that towards the end of it and as a result it just feels like the film is some sort of weird first contact story. It's very Star Trek in feel, so I can't fault it for that, but I do see why it's unpopular.
Still has some great scenes in it, like the Enterprise flypast, and Spocks journey through V'Ger. Soundtrack was great as well, as already mentioned.
Shittiest Star Trek film that involved the original cast next to Generations.
I don't know how the fuck you people can unironically like that borefest.

I thought he mainly did that during his tenure on "7th Heaven"... but it's possible.
>>62752434
nah, wait. My bad:
"In a December 2014 interview with People magazine, Collins admitted he had "inappropriate sexual conduct with three female minors" in 1973, 1982, and 1994"
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/7th-heaven-dad-stephen-collins-admits-sexually-abusing-girl-article-1.1965747
Upon reading that I first thought: "Lemme guess: They were 17, weren't they?"
But nope. One was 10 and two others were under 14 as well.
>>62748983
>A massive disappointment at release.
Fans wanted something to rival Star Wars. They got something more akin to 2001.
>>62748983
>A massive disappointment at release.
No it wasn't. It was successful at the box office.
Its hilarious when 20-something year olds talk about stuff before they were born like they were alive and knew what was actually going on. Shows what true idiots they are.
>>62744926
None of the movies captured the magic of the tv show. TOS was dynamic and full of energy, with just about the perfect amount of hamminess. The movies all felt tired and old. And yes, I know the actors were older, but not all movies with old people in them make we want to go take a nap.
>>62744926
I enjoy it and think it's great Star Trek but I think it's far from being the best.
I always liked the fact that most of the films were a little more action oriented than the shows, I thought it was a nice compliment.

>>62749196
From what they've been saying about it, I'm hopeful that Star Trek Beyond won't be about an evil guy wanting revenge or being Kirk's nemesis.
It sounds like they're going to focus more on the exploration side of Star Trek.
>>62749367
The only thing I can really say about JJ Trek is that it's not boring. It's dumbed down, punch 'em in the face, lowest common denominator schlock riddled with plot holes and full of unlikable, one-dimensional characters, that completely pisses in the face of Star Trek... but it's not boring. Man, when Abrams was interviewed, he said he never "got" Star Trek and tried to make a movie that would appeal to people like him. Fuck that guy.
>>62748605
Fuck off, faggot.
You're whining about an 20+ year episode that
didn't get made when there are REAL problems in the world.
>>62749362
>The being that comes through on the other end is just a copy, born with the memories of the person who was sent through.
WRONG!!!!!
It's mentioned several times that this is NOT how the transporter works.
>>62755679
WTF was in that post that made you sperg this bad?
>>62755438
I wonder if that'll work though. None of the movies have been about exploration.
>>62755438
I think everyone sclamoring for more exploration is just proof we need that new series, we need it soon, and we need it done right.
I don't mind having these archvillain type stories but they fucked up the last one so bad I get pains in my groin.
Nero I liked, cool ship, best looking Romulans we've had in years; but Khan? They took an 11/10 villain and made him a 4, if that.
I get they sort of hinted that left unchecked he would be a force to be reckoned with but you never get a real sense if menace from him. In fact, they make him someone you can actually sympathize with. A guy who just wants his crew brought to him while Admiral Marcus was fucking great. There's a guy you can hate.
>it's a Quark and Odo develop a friendship but both are too staunch to admit it episode
>>62755733
I'm not him, but I'm guessing it's the fact that it's been posted over and over and over and over without it relating to the discussion at hand other than "lol, Star Trek".
>>62755783
Not in a narrow sense, no. But at least TMP had the "dealing with the unknown" element in it that made a lot of the tv episodes so great.
If the Ori invaded the alpha quadrant would the federation stand a chance against them?
why is she so perfect?
>Watch Undiscovered Country for the first time
>Suddenly Worf
>mfw
>>62744926
I disagree totally, it was good but it was a story that could have been told in an episode.
Undiscovered Country was the perfect Star Trek movie. Sure, it was a little more explosions than should be Star Trek, but all of it had purpose. It had the staples of Star Trek, political, economic and alien themes. It had personal themes that were fantastic like Spock enlisting them without their permission cause it was logical. And the Shakespearian dialoge is another staple to Star Trek, so it represented it perfectly.
I don't think anyone could say there was a more Star Trek movie than that, maybe another favorite, but not a more Star Trek movie.
>>62759197
Undiscovered Country is the most derivative shit ever made. There isn't a single line or event that isn't ripped off from something else.
