I know this is an unimaginative poll, but I'm curious about the results, especially after Star Trek 3 and 6 received NO votes in the Worst Trek Film Poll while more popular films had detractors.
What is the Best Star Trek film?
- Thread starter Argus Skyhawk
- Start date
I voted STAR TREK VI: The Undiscoverd Country, but it ties with STAR TREK-FIRST CONTACT-
Next time, it should be "Best Trek Film, besides The Wrath of Khan".
What I want to know is, WHO voted for GENERATIONS?
I voted for Khan (sorry about misspelling it) but I do love the under-appreciated Generations, so I'm glad someone supported it.
I voted VI, but really I enjoy II-VI equally (including V). The TNG films are like open wounds, even today.
I'm surprised. I expected TWOK to win, but I had also expected First Contact to come in second, not tied for a distant fifth.
Each film has its flaws, but I have two big problems with the First Contact: The humanization of the Borg by creating a central, controlling authority in a collective that had previously been depicted as a hive mind robbed the Borg of their truly alien nature even while it gave Picard and Data a personal adversary. Also, there's the huge plot hole of the Borg sending a time travel device halfway across the galaxy to overcome Earth instead of using time travel from within their own system and then attacking Earth. Not only did this risk destruction of the time travel sphere before it could even be used, but it ultimately gave Starfleet the opportunity they needed to thwart the Borg. This was on the same level of stupidity as that displayed by Picard in Generations when he left the Nexus to jump Soran on Veridian III instead of going right back to when they first rescued him from the Amargosa Array.

I didn't vote for Generations but I still love it despite its flaws. It is one of my favorites. First Contact gets my vote as best film.

Has anybody ever come up with a poll for most TOS-like movie? I mean, none of the trek films has been all that great. Everybody is going to have a favorite for one reason or another, but more likely than not they are also going to acknowledged how that film is very flawed in any number of ways.
For me, TFF and TWOK seem most TOS-like, along with the first third or so of the live-action parts of SFS, before that turns to utter godawfulness.
I guess I won't vote on this poll.

I voted for The Undiscovered Country. For two reasons, David Warner and Christopher Plummer. 
I am shocked by all the support for The Undiscovered Country. Does no one remember the atrocious prison scenes? That's what sank the movie for me. I think it begins and ends wonderfully, but that middle sequence is a total drag, aside from the reprise of "The Enemy Within" (that "it must have been your life-long ambition" line was some pretty funny cheesiness). I agree with the praise for The Wrath of Khan, but First Contact and especially The Voyage Home deserve way more love in this poll. I think both are almost just as good. I'm planning on watching all three soon to get jazzed up for the new Star Trek movie. I think I'll wait till I've seen them again before I vote.
Sorry, but I enjoy the prison scenes. It is not my favorite Trek film (I would rank it somewhere near the middle personally) but Rura Penthe and the shapeshifter were interesting to me.
I'm surprised First Contact didn't get more votes. It's my personal favorite of the Star Trek movies, though Wrath of Khan is probably the best. I also like The Undiscovered Country, and I think the prison scenes stand out most in my mind about that movie. The Motion Picture was a good story, but too slow moving to be a runner up for favorite.
