I think while Insurrection and Nemesis are widely agreed as bad next gen movies I would argue they're better than the worst original movies.
If you can't acknowledge Motion Picture as bad I don't know that we can have the discussion on a solid base though.
STTMP theatrical release was gods-awful even in the 70s. The more recent directors cut actually salvages it. I rather like it these days.
I guess that's why I like it now, saw the Directors Cut.
The soundtrack is probably the best part. I saw it in the theater a few months ago, and it blew my socks off. I only ever heard it on VHS with a mono tv speaker. I bought the vinyl a couple of weeks ago.
The music and the visuals are awesome in the film, at least this new version available
I used to despise Star Trek 1 but recently saw the HD Directors Cut version and loved it.
I'll admit I haven't seen that but it would have to be some impressive magic.
My wife has never managed to stay awake past the opening sweep around the Enterprise but I can't say it really gets better.
@Doug @startrek That scene was pure fan service, and after a decade in the wilderness this fan at least *loved* it.
I've heard accounts both ways. I'm not quite old enough to have seen it new, but I've known people who said it was fantastic and people who said it was never better than it is now.
