That IS what punk sounded like.
What are your opinions regarding Star Trek that are, shall we say, unorthodox?
More than other Hollywood versions of punk.
Well, THAT does give it extra bonus points!
It's not that I don't like it. It's just.... At one point it was considered one of the best Star Trek movies. But these days, I look at TMP, TUC... I just think they are so much better. But that's just me.
I enjoy it even if it is one I rewatch the least, indeed, I'm pretty sure the last few times I watched it was when I was doing a complete movie rewatch cycle. I will say, it might be the one Trek movie which has aged the worse, given it is a literal 1980s movie to the point a majority of it is even set in the 80s.
It is interesting how only two of the first five Trek movies have bona fide villains: TWOK and TSFS. TMP, TVH and TFF have either a super-evolved alien probe or a mysterious alien device heading for Earth for their own purposes, or they have a misguided Vulcan idealist who doesn't want to hurt anyone, and in the end sacrifices his own life to save our heroes. Say what one wants about the TOS movies, but that's one of the many reasons why those movies as a whole are peak big screen Trek.
There is no "like" button that will allow me to convey how much I like this post! Amen.
The TOS movies were *different* from one another. TMP and TVH are about as far apart from one another as movies can be, and yet IMHO they are both good movies and work as Star Trek stories. I think the variety is what really helped the TOS movies stand out and not become boring. And is quite the contrast to the TNG movies, which despite being a huge TNG fan, have really lost their luster for me over the years. By the time of Nemesis, it's like how many more battles with shields down to 47% can we sit through?
You know now I kind of want a scene where Michael watches the somehow recorded footage of Spock and the others frolicking in the water by the whales and the sinking bird of prey. Could be a beautiful scene her seeing that Spock did reach for people and had very dear friends after she left for the future.
I love the scene where she watches the (again somehow) recorded footage from Unification 2. I love Unification 3 it's such a beautiful chimera of TNG, TOS, Discovery and Picard.

Young man eyeballs are a privilege not a rightI wanted to gouge out my eyeballs.
Wait until you're in your fifties.
GO TO BED, OLD MAN.
Something more Star Trek needs to do.
The Sixties point and laugh at the Fifties, middle fingers beckoning high.
yeah it kind of reminds me of Circle Jerks or Fear from around that time or a few years earlier (all these years later I still can't believe Fear managed to get a gig on SNL)
They also found a spot on BBC Radio Four, I think, between Joni Mitchell and The Partridge Family. Though that was nearly twenty years ago (March 2007), I still remember the song sequence quite clearly, for its eclecticism, as I drove from southern Wales to Salisbury to pick up my wife at the train station. I also remember the announcer’s “BBC serious” voice saying, “And that was Fuck the World, by Fear. Next, I Think I Love You, by The Partridge Family.” (The Joni Mitchell song was A Case of You.)
All in all, a wonderful day.
Or if Vyvyan picked the band
