Yikes, this thread sure didn't age well.

>Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Aside from the over-the-top "save the whales" messaging, this one is a lot of fun. Star Trek had already been done time travel several times by this point, but it was really enjoyable to see the Enterprise crew trying to blend in with locals in '80s San Francisco and I found the more humorous approach to be a welcome one. I liked the way the secondary crew members split up to focus on tasks away from the rest of the ship. It gave it kind of an ensemble feel. Sulu didn't have much screen time, but I'm not going to complain about seeing less George Takei. Speaking of him, I felt like it was both appropriate and unintentionally funny that Sulu mentions that he was born in San Francisco.

What's the difference between an astronaut and a residence of San Francisco? An astro's not likely to catch AIDS.

Anyway, The Voyage Home is my favorite movie in the series.
>Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
I don't understand the hatred this one gets. The special effects are bad and it's definitely silly, but Star Trek in general is pretty silly. I enjoyed the character-focused parts especially. The Spock-Sybok connection is more of the typical soap-opera-tier stuff that the series had already done with Kirk and David in The Wrath of Khan, but Sybok is my favorite of all the villains the movies had. The idea of a Vulcan going rogue and becoming a desert messiah is one I find interesting. I find him more compelling than Khan, who benefits from Ricardo Montalban's scenery chewing but didn't feel like the genius he was supposed to be. Sybok's motivations make his character feel less flat than a eugenically created superman who's driven by rage toward Kirk.

The Final Frontier isn't some great classic of cinema, but I don't think any of these movies are.
>Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
It's basically a political thriller in space. It really didn't do much for me, and the heavy-handed anti-"prejudice" agenda (a Klingon woman even complains about the Federations "racism" when the phrase "human rights" is used) lowers the movie in my estimation. I also didn't like the way Kirk "corrects" himself to "no one" in the politically correct TNG style when repeating the famous "where no man has gone before" line. I found Chang constantly quoting Shakespeare to be annoying too, although I guess that wasPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Most dogshit movie in the franchise until the Abramstrek abortions. In fact in many ways, their model is all the moronic, offensively anti-Star-Trek shit in IV.

What I should have said was the one I found the most entertaining. This is also my first time watching the movies. So as much I had a good time with it, I might not feel that way after seeing them again. I liked the levity of The Voyage Home, but after a couple more viewings it might not hold up very well with me. Maybe the ones I didn't like as much will connect with me better eventually too.

I think the movies started going off course from a pure Star Trek experience after The Motion Picture. It might not be packed with action, but action was only one part of what made Star Trek what it was. When Star Trek moves too far in the action direction it just feels like it's imitating Star Wars to me.

I just wrapped up the series less than a day ago, but I feel like Star Trek: The Motion Picture might end up being my favorite on a long enough timescale.

I only saw each of these films once about 10 years ago. 3, 4, and 5 stand out to me the most so I think on that metric they are the best. Dead Spock, whales, God. Overall, none of the films are very memorable but those three in particular are the ones that left any impression on me.

II and III blend into each other in my memory now after watching IV, V, and VI, but other than that I agree. I was disappointed with II because of how people speak of it like it's some classic of cinema and had a better time with III. I think The Motion Picture has been more memorable for me than III and feel like it gets dumped on too much.

It's always like that. The past had japanese animators hand draw and put in the effort to make it look good, now it's outsourced to koreans with shitty flash animation or whatever they use.

>>370025
The real redpill is that anime had been outsourced to korea ever since the 1970s

there is still hope for it, it is made by TMS

Sure, and about as much hope as the latest Berserk series

Never say never. Their brown bricks jokes did a lot to rehabilitate Matei's image, in the same way their NC jokes rehabilitated the image of Doug Walker (who they did get to come on).

I'm glad Big Ryan apparently snapped out of the tranny thing.

FWIW it looks good. I have no illusions it'll be as good as the original, but I'll still check it out.
