What Star Trek movie do you like rewatching the most?

[Synodic]

First Contact, without a doubt. I really enjoy seeing calm and collected Picard transform through his desire for revenge.

Far and away the best of the TNG movies.

Generations. Yes, seriously. I recognize all its flaws, and yet, I completely dig it all the same. Part of it may be nostalgia, it being the first Trek movie I saw in theatres, but whatever it is, I just love watching and rewatching it.

The next one would be TWOK, though I don't imagine I need to explain why I watch that one so often.

Generations. Don't start with me. It's nostalgia, mostly. When it was released life was easy and fun. Plus, as a big fan of TNG watching that cast on the big screen was my TMP moment, I guess. And, hey, it looks great. The shots of Kirk riding his horsey over the fields are stunning.

Indeed. If anything, Generations probably feels the most cinematic of all four TNG movies. Easily the best music of the four as well.

That makes me feel old....I remember when you shivved Lisa and buried her body deep in the Canadian woods and seized control of this place.

I'm totally with you guys.

The battle sequence and the saucer's crash landing gives me goosebumps to this day; Kirk's loss at both the start and end of the film get me every time.

For all its flaws, it was TNG fully translated to the big screen, and my first Trek film at the cinema. And it is truly cinematic. Whenever I buy a new TV or sound system, the crash sequence is always used to test it: between the computer's warnings, the shouts, the bangs - you soon know if everything is working well.

I even love the trailer. The way it starts out like a non-Trek film and then the first few notes of the TNG fanfare kick in. I didn't see that in the cinema, but Trek fans must have been out of their seats with excitement at it.

The crash sequence, IMO still holds up today over twenty-five years later. Even in comparison to modern movies.

That, and the starship chase out of spacedock in ST:III demonstrate for me how beautiful real modelwork can be. It just felt so much more substantive than CGI has yet delivered.

That's definitely a great scene itself, though one of the go-to scenes I like to pull out as a good example of "less is more" when comparing old movies to modern ones is the Mutara Nebula battle in TWOK. Simple, yet very effective, and I still feel tension throughout the battle, even after who knows how many thousand times. Definitely a lot more than I do the first time around during some of the CG EPIC BATTLES of today.

"Special effects" aren't special when they're in every sodding frame of the movie.

It's why I can't watch Marvel films; I don't sit and buy into what's happening on-screen, I just think "oh, another city destroyed by a billion bangs, isn't it amazing what you can draw on an Apple Mac?"

 

[Herbert]

Wrath of Khan, easily. TMP is a distant second.

And James Doohan is Scotty. Full stop. Nothing against Pegg but better than Doohan? Laughable and absurd

 

[fireproof78]

Pegg is a poor Scotty. Doesn't stop 09 from topping the rewatch list.

I respectfully disagree. Pegg's Scotty is different from Doohan's but in no way inferior.

100% agree. Two amazing sequences....they look great, sound great, are scored fantastically, and have a ton of great drama and intensity. Easily two of my favorite "action" sequences in the entire franchise.

Honourable mention to the Enterprise swooping into the fray during First Contact, and the battle in the Mutara Nebula in TWOK.

Not the highest bar...

 

[Paterson]

The Voyage Home and First Contact probably.

Mods: I would've put this in one of the Star Trek movie forums, but since this covers all Trek movies (both prime and Kelvin timelines) I figured this would be the best place for this question.

Me, it would be First Contact. There's just something about it that never gets old for me. I guess it was just the pure awesomeness of seeing the Borg on the big screen (as well as getting to actually see a fleet battle against a Borg cube that we never got to see in BoBW because of budget constraints). But that's just one of many reasons!

Technically, even though I think WoK is a better movie, I just love watching FC a lot more. Is that weird?

Unquestionably, "The Undiscovered Country."

For solid entertainment value, I most often rewatch TWOK, FC, and 09.
