"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" or _____?

[1001001]

Most TOS films I rank above TNG ones but TMP is not one I go back to. I think Nemesis would win.

But, I tend to rewatch the Kelvin films, and TUC and TVH than most.

I love movies 2-6 (yes, including 5).

As for Kelvin, I like 1 and 3, but 2 kinda drags.

How much more action could it contain? That may be your reasoning for downgrading TMP. Perhaps Shatner could have improved it with his direction. Ironically, until THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY came out, I preferred the odd-numbered Ol'Trek Films despite issues with TMP and TFF. While TWOK was a fine adrenaline rush, it felt like a gimmick over time......only this time we were forced to wait two years before the inevitable resurrection. And though TVH has a fine hospital moment with a tolerable 60-second Leonard Rosenman musical bit, too much of it plays like an inexplicable almost-instant remake of CROCOODILE DUNDEE.

Comedy-wise, I prefer I, MUDD or TRIBBLES. They seem more sustained.

I’d rather watch TMP than any of the other 9 original movies.

But I’d rather watch Kelvin 1,2 or 3 than TMP.
