    You spelled 'theatre' wrong, theefool. :p

    What's wrong with you people? Am I the only voice of sanity in this thread? Star Trek :zzz The film world's answer to insomnia.

    joey, think about this for a second.

    this site is called majorGEEKS.com.

    this site is full of GEEKS.

    GEEKS populate this website.

    lots of GEEKS like star trek.

    work with me here buddy, come on!

    Sorry, Spec, not all Geeks appreciate a series of movies with terrible scripts, flimsy plots and a cast as old as Methuselah's granny. Oh, how I wish I could agree with you deluded lot. But alas! No way, Pedro. Do I smell the aroma of realisation that I am right on this one? Ooooh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Can you smell it, huh?
     
  17. Speculant

    Speculant The Confused One

    but alas! right and wrong are simply opinions, my friend, and people will enjoy what they choose to enjoy.
     
  18. joey off the street

    joey off the street Lounge Lizard No.1

    Oh, do me a lemon. This is one big pile of doggy doodoo. Even the trailer had me yawning. You're right, Spec it is personal choice. You lot have a great time at the movies and I'll stick to watching the classics like Battlefield Earth and Howard The Duck.

    Its pointless discussing opinion,if you don't like the movies fine I guess but you can't say they are bad movies because they all do well in the box office and are usually scored well by the critics and the public.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253754/

    25,000 votes and a 6.4,that's a really good score at IMDB.,even if I weren't a trekky they are still good sci-fi movies and I've seen them ALL.
     
  20. joey off the street

    joey off the street Lounge Lizard No.1

    Oh, Rikky, Rikky, Rikky. I thought the whole point of these threads was to discuss opinion. My opinion is very valid. Star Trek is pants.


    I saw the first Star Trek movie and it was so bad, I thought Catwoman outshone it tenfold. And I wanted to end it all after I'd seen that one.
     
  21. Rikky

    Rikky Wile E. Coyote - One of a kind

    Then my opinion is that your opinion is pants:-D Catwoman?With Halle Berry:-D don't tell other people you like that movie :-D

    EDIT Its one of the worst movies ever made http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327554/
     
  22. Speculant

    Speculant The Confused One

    oh.

    wow.
     
  23. joey off the street

    joey off the street Lounge Lizard No.1

    Oh no, it was a stinker. As I stated in the last post, I was suicidal after it. But it was better than Star Trek The Movie.

    And the new Star Trek is the latest worst movie ever made. Probably.
     
  24. joey off the street

    joey off the street Lounge Lizard No.1

    You enjoyed Catwoman too, then, Spec? :-D
     
  25. Rikky

    Its hard to see how they could fail,Halle Berry in a skin tight leather cat suit but somehow they did,epic fail.

    Halle Berry. Tight black leather outfit.:drool
    Come on guys, Whats not to like about that?;)
    ( Oh, you were talking about the MOVIE. Sorry)rolleyes

    Wow, from Star Trek to Catwoman in latex...that's some leap, GUYS. :p

    I just love sci fi. I'm generally willing to give it all a chance. I aways loved Star Trek. I watched them all pretty religiously expect Deep Space 9. The only truly good one was Next Generation. I certainly wouldn't base them all by Star Trek 1
     
  28. joey off the street

    joey off the street Lounge Lizard No.1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but many people believe that the original of a movie franchise is by far and away the best of the series and it is upon that assumption that I base my argument. I thought the reasoning behind that was a given.
    You are all reasonable, intelligent people and I thought someone might agree that the original Star Trek movie was singularly worse than Catwoman or Battlefield Earth.
     
  29. Rikky

    Rikky Wile E. Coyote - One of a kind

    Nope,no where near.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079945/

    If you don't like it IMO you musn't enjoy the sci-fi genre too much.
     
  30. joey off the street

    joey off the street Lounge Lizard No.1

    On the contrary, I actually love sci fi. TV and film. I suppose I just have a more discerning taste than everyone else here.
    Have you ever seen Dr Who and the daleks, or Dr Who: Invasion Earth 2150? Two of the defining moments in sci fi televisual history. It doesn't get much better than that.

    Isnt my dad a froob? I'm looking forward to seeing the new star trek. I havent seen all of the other star trek films. Ive seen the first and second but Im going to make my dad sit and watch them with me again. He has really saw the star trek films and likes star trek. He is playing games with you all. I think he is trying to start a argument. I havent been for a long time on majorgeeks because I am playing football and cricket and swimming with my friends. I want a good picture for my avatar so my dad can get it for me. I like kestrels because its creepy. The picture my dad has is me playing on my xbox 360 after I came out the shower. It was taken on his mobile and isnt a good photo. He keeps pestering my mam for a digital camera and I want one. I will write again when I have some time. Im going to watch meet the spartans when I finish swimming later. Bye Bye

    I can't wait for it. I liked them all and even the most hated show i found interesting..

    Some people hate Star Trek but without it things might be alittle different.

    So which movie has been your favourite so far Kathy?Mine has to be Star Trek Nemesis,even though the end was Sad:cry
     
  38. KathyM

    KathyM Master Sergeant

    I am in agreement with you Rikky.....:)
     
  39. joey off the street

    joey off the street Lounge Lizard No.1

    No, no, no. Are you mad? First Contact is by far and away the best of the series.

    Rikky Wile E. Coyote - One of a kind

    WARNING SPOILERS!


    The scene in Nemesis when Picards younger Genetic clone is skewered by Picard on a pike and he pulls himself along it toward Picard and says "I'm glad we're together now!" And smirks.

    Is better than all the other Movies combined :-D

    I liked Star Trek IV the best so far.
     
  42. Rikky

    Rikky Wile E. Coyote - One of a kind

    Yeah the voyage home,cheap to do not many special effects:-D I thought it was a really good film that would appeal to everyone not just sci fi fans or trekkies,lots of funny moments.

    I loved that scene when Bones of walking around a hospital on there's a guy on a gurney with terminal heart disease or Cancer and Bones just gives him a bottle of pills and says take one of these every day for a week,should clear it up :-D

    "What is this the Dark Ages!"
     
  43. joey off the street

    No way, Pedro. The greatest scene in the series is in First Contact when Picard accuses Warf of being a coward. "Get off my bridge", he hisses.
    Later in the film he tells Warf he is the bravest person (or is it man? I forget) he has ever met. Great cinema.
