You're not alone.  Not all of us hated the film.

"Save the whales" FTW, with "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!" a very close second.

Final Frontier received zero votes 

I'd have to say Undiscovered Country is my favorite because:

1. It has the best soundtrack out of the bunch (that opening theme is just epic).
2. I loved seeing the Excelsior on screen more.
3. I loved seeing the Excelsior save Kirk's ass.
4. Best "slow" battle scene ever.
5. Best "pwned" moment ever.
6. "FLY HER APART THEN!!!"

Zero votes for Final Frontier? 
Okay, other movies were better, but FF is still far better than the first three TNG-movies.


Edit:

2. I loved seeing the Excelsior on screen more.
3. I loved seeing the Excelsior save Kirk's ass.
6. "FLY HER APART THEN!!!"

Also, the original movie-model looks far more beautiful than the CGI-version from DS9... And Sulu in command was a well done surprise.^^

THERE IS NO FIFTH STAR TREK MOVIE, I TELL YOU!!

It's just an urban legend.

I liked insurrection most, it had everything I like about Star Trek, everyone I get to know and who does not like Star Trek I tell, watch insurrection and you may see what I like about ST: an intelligent story, some battles, Picard, touching moments: "Ich habe noch nie einen Sonnenuntergang gesehen, Captain."(sorry, don'T know what Geordi is telling in the original, before quoting it wrong I rather quote it in German  ).
After it comes First Contact, great battles, the drunken Deanna, the drunken Zefram Cochrane, Borg Vulcans...
And then? Hmm all the other movies with ST 5 and 10 being at the end  . ST11 perhaps after 6and 4, but before 1,2 and 3.

the drunken Deanna

Why do people always fall to those cheap attempts to make the audience laugh?
If the only way to make the characters funny is to make the audience laugh at them instead with them, it's no humour at all.

We were laughing with Riker? Troi deserved to be laughed at for crashing the Ent-D

Still it was out of character and one of the cheapest laughs you could imagine.
It's just as ridiculous and disrespectful to the characters to have it in a movie like Data's entire behaviour in Generations.

And there are people who don't watch every movie of a franchise. So crashing the Enterprise D has actually only one value for First Contact, which is the new Enterprise. That's it. You are talking of the movie like of an episode, so First Contact failed in his movie-function entirely which is my point.

Heh yeah, I was kidding  I agree that it was out of character, Troi never struck me as the kind to lose control like that throughout TNG.

I found it a funny idea, the utopian, always nice, synthehol drinking ST characters confronted with our world today. Gave Deanna the rest  .
Well, in the series there were several moments were you could laugh about Deanna, everytime "She felt something"... And with her you could laugh about Data.

True, you could always laugh at her when someone was screaming and shouting and she came out with "I sense you are angry"...

Star Trek, the new movie has to be my favorite. I loved the new take they did, and while the movie had some plot holes, I'm willing to overlook that. I can watch it over and over and still enjoy it.

I kinda liked the introduction scene with the Kelvin. We didn't know then about the totally stupid motivations Nero had to destroy everything that reminds him of Starfleet or Vulcans, so it was a good setup to learn what's actually going on there.

If they had managed to make some things more believable and not just "Nero? Oh. You mean that crazy guy who kills and destroys everything around him because he's pissed off now and searches for someone to punish without reason because Romulus is an asteroid field in his time." the movie would have been quite okay. On it's actual basis it's just a stupid action-movie set up in a resetted Star Trek universe.


Except for the names and some races and the general shipshapes there is no Star Trek in it and nothing Star Trek actually stands for.

Liking it is okay, considering it a good film makes me wonder why people even watched Star Trek without getting the essence of it.
