I love Star Trek 5. Even if it is somewhere at the bottom of all Trek movies it still is great and the only reason why it may be at the bottom is because there are 5 other fantastic movies with the old crew.
The biggest problem for No 5 was, that it followed the universally loved The Voyage Home. After that expectations were too high.
Sybok is such a great character and very well acted. Also as you mentioned the Kirk-Spock-Bones relationship is beautifully done.
Row row row your boat has become one of my favourite songs ever because of this movie.
My 6 year old daughter already knows it by heart (in English of course) :D
pure Dirty Harry for me but I get the reference
5 had potential and proved that the franchise was not dead (but they had to get Meyer back again to save it with 6), the premise is just wrong and a little insulting to any beleiver - the idea that God exists within our own universe plus , if you are going to meet God, you had better have a massive pay off at the end. Plus, I think they got very lucky when it turned out that one of the cast could actually direct very well so when Shatner insisted, they let their guard down. What evidence was there that he could direct? It relies heavily on the existing goodwill of the fans and the character development that had built up in the previous series and movie. Sorry to say but, as a standalone movie, its not very good.
PS as for the budget, Khan had the smallest budget and was the best . It's about having a great script and a director who can balance the resources rather than run out of cash half way through.
I will always curse and spit on 9 Insurrection. Maybe it was just a two hour episode but something about this movie just sets me off. Nemesis stunk up the theaters. they should have stopped at First Contact, quit while they were ahead.
Much as I hate Nemesis, it had its moments: the wedding, the running battle on those Rat Patrol type jeep vehicles.
For pure character, Voyage Home is best.
For action, Wrath Of Khan is best.
For original series-like social commentary (complete with a Kirk 'wrap-up' speech), Undiscovered Country is best.
Etc.
Like Bond, there is a Trek movie for every mood.
Also seeing LaForge and Worf wearing red suits on the bridge just ... not right.
And with the exception of a few of my favorite episodes, I do not re watch the series.
With TOS I have seen those over and over again. You can describe a scene from TOS and I can give you the name of the episode as well as which season it aired.
Folks would call me strange, but I feel that I am not the only one on this thread who can make that claim.
I loved everthing else. :)
Wrath of Khan
Motion Picture
Search for Spock
Undiscovered Country
Voyage Home
Final Frontier
Truth is I love them all dearly, watched all these films hundreds of times.
First Contact is and will forever be my favourite and even my favourite movie of all time.
From the Kirk crew movies I'd rank them like this:
1. Undiscovered Country/Wrath Of Khan
2. The Motion Picture/The Voyage Home
3. Search For Spock/Final Frontier
Still, The Motion Picture has become a yearly event for me like OHMSS. Mostly watch them during the Christmas Holidays.
Put The Motion Picture on now, always feels like a cinematic experience, this film has vast scope its totally awesome.
:-O
