Your thoughts on Nemesis (multiple choice) (Time out:0 days after 27-11-2002, 11:51)
I will be waiting in line 2 weeks before it opens
I will see it opening day
I will see it the first week
I will see it the first month
I will see it between 1 month and before it leaves theaters
I plan on seeing it multiple times
I plan on living in the theatre it shows in
I will wait until video/dvd
I will wait until cable/satellite television
I will wait until it reaces regular television
I am a cheapskate and will illegally download it
Star Trek has gone downhill- I will not see it
I will see it only if forced
What is Star Trek?
I will wait until it comes out on Beta-Max
I will only see it if it has bananas in it

Or is that Trekker? What's the difference?

This looks like a good one. Supposedly the film was orginally 3 1/2 hours long and had scenes with Wil Wheaton in it. I hated him and his acting, but I liked how they wrapped up his character. I'd like to see how that finished off. But they cut his scenese from the movie to make the movie 2 hours long from what the boards say (and we know they always contain relevant info.). It better be on the DVD at least.

It's an even numbered star trek. It has to be good

Here's the imdb link. I have a few messages on the message board.

Have the trekkers all seen the classic 'composition' where Picard orders Wesley's death. It is a few minutes made up of speech from loads of episodes, and some judicious artwork.......nerdy as hell, but very funny.

Hopefully it will be decent. Which is the best I can hope for since every single one with the TNG crew has been downright awful.

Have you people seen the 5 mn video from the movie. The site Ifilm.com, released some sneakpeaks that are really good. You see the first encounter between Schinzon and Picard, a battle scene between Ent-E and the Scimitar, and a verbal confrontation between Schinzon and Picard.

needless to say, I think Nemesis will kick-ass. I can't wait for dec 13th!

Nemesis won't be released here till early 2003 So for now I can worry about LotR, and then move to Star Trek, and then The Matrix.

All of my trekie friends thought it sucked, including myself. (and having managed 100's of tech geeks, I have quite a few trekie friends) So if that's the one people hold up and say is the good one, that tells you what the rest of the series is like? At best you can hope for this one to be mediocre, so you can say it's the best one ever.

I'm actually watching First Contact now. To be honest, I only recorded it because I thought there would be loads of cool starship battles in it, but I was sorely disappointed.

Yes, that one was supposed to be the TNG's version of the TOS's Voyage Home. More characterizations than action, and more humor taking advantage of going back in time. But it failed miserably.

The same thing was said about "voyage home". But even you have to admit that 'first contact' wasn't as good.

I'm a family man, so it will be a while before I can sneak out of the house.

This movie is hailed as "the last generations movie", so I father that there will be no more movies with Picard. Does anyone know if there are future plans for other Trek movies? It would seem a little long since the endings of the series for them to try making a Voyager or a Deep Space Nine movie.

Tired of ads?

There I have to agree with you, First contact was the best TNG one. Which emphasises my point. The best TNG movie is not as good as the, what, 3rd best TOS movie. So mediocre is considered the best TNG. Hopefully Nemisis will be better than mediocre.

I'm surprised no-one likes "The Final Frontier". Mind you, I only liked it because the whole prospect of William Shatner outwitting God amuses me intensely.

The final frontier was god-awful IMO. The only good part was a line McCoy had when someone questions whether or not the entity they have found is god.

"Goddammit, you can't ask the almighty for his ID"

Voyage home is a bit better IMO, but not much.

FF was really bad, but IMO, only the second-worst.

My ranking:

1) Khan!
2) First Contact
3) Undiscovered Country
4) Voyage Home
5) The last one, the name escapes me
6) Motion Picture
7) Search for Spock
8) Final Frontier
9) Generations

i'm not a trekkie but i don't mind watching it. i know some of the major characters from various seasons or whatever, but i dont know episodes by heart and cant recite them word for word.

"come on man, it's star was versus star trek! it's like a rogue band of x-wing pilots trying to save the reellion versus... versus... i dont know, some stupid thing about saving whales!"
-From the Cartoon "Undergrads"

i'l probably end up seeing nemesis with someone.
