The Motion Picture:
5.5/10: I didn't think it was THAT bad, but I understand why it's called the Slow Motion Picture. The pacing is very bad. Not a bad start, but the three immediate sequels are much better.
Wrath of Khan:
8.5/10: Originally I didn't like it too much due to the Ceti Eels scenes disturbing me as a kid. But rewatching with an adult mind made me realize just how well put together this film is. Khan is a fascinating villain. He had genuine motives to go after Kirk. That's what makes this whole adventure heartbreaking for both of them, as both ends up losing people dear to them by the end of the film. I would say this is the best of the ST films.
Search for Spock:
7.5/10: Not as good as II, but that one a tough one to follow. It still has a lot going for it, a number of epic moments and feels very operatic as a whole. The ending is perfect.
Voyage Home:
7.5/10: This film's a lot of fun. I didn't mind the lack of action scenes, as the engaging story, memorable funny scenes and character moments made up for it. Nimoy does a damn fine job as director.
Final Frontier:
3.5/10: I actually liked this one as a kid. Today, not so much...Heh. Let's say Star Trek and GOD don't mix very well together...Shatner sucks as director, and writer. Enough said.
Undiscovered Country:
8.0/10: A HUGE improvement over V, and the film that saved the reputation of the original series of film.
Generations:
5.5/10: The concept of the Nexus was a great idea. Too bad the script that resulted included about a bajilion plot holes. Also, Kirk's inclusion in this film feels very forced, as well as his exit. I kinda liked the Soran character, and his line "Time is the fire in which we burn" was badass. But Data was annoying. God he was annoying... Not bad, but expected a whole lot more.
First Contact:
8.5/10: Absolutely badass. Alice Krudge has the Borg Queen stole the show, IMO. The pacing was flawless. Looking back, it was a little weird seeing Picard as an action hero in lieu of Riker, but considering his history with the Borg, he was the logical choice.
Insurrection:
5.0/10: Feels rushed and incomplete. Moreover, the script wasn't good at all. The morals dictated in this film are very forced. The story isn't engaging at all. Feeling like an mediocre two hour episode of the Next Generation.
Nemesis:
6.0/10: Not as bad as people claim, IMO. There's nothing particularly great in the film, but I don't think there was anything spectacularly bad about it either. The thing I really didn't like is they tried to recreate the ending of Star Trek II, without the soul and emotion involved. A comme-ci, comme-ça finale for the Next generation crew.
Star Trek (2009):
8.0/10: Excellent relaunch of the franchise. Memorable characters, excellent special effects and action scenes. The inclusion of Leonard Nimoy was wonderful. Some say that the soul of Star Trek was stripped in favor of the action. They may be right, but I don't mind the new direction at all. I'm looking forward to seeing more adventures with this crew.
