As J.J. Abrams' Star Trek beams into theaters on May 8, it seems like a good time to look back at the 10 movies that have previously gone where no one has gone before.

The 10 Star Trek movies so far, and why they mattered

Is the guy who wrote this even a ST fan?

Borrowing a Romulan Bird of Prey, the Enterprise crew goes back in time to find humpback whales that can speak the language of an alien race that is inadvertently destroying the Earth.

Well, it was designed to be a Romulan ship that was hijacked by Klingons before they decided to make it a solely klingon based ship.

That mistake was corrected on the site, BTW.

"Why It Sucks: Many of the effects leave much to be desired by today's standards, although Khan's hair and chest are by far the best of them. (For the humor impaired: We know it's his real chest. It's a joke.)"

Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't his chest actually fake in this movie?

His chest was real. They accentuated it with the costume on purpose.

As for this guy, he trashes Frakes' direction of First Contact. After that, I don't trust anything else he has to say.

So he mistook one bumpy forehead for another bumpy forehead? That disqualifies him to comment on Star Trek? In his defense, Trek villans have become pretty indistinguishable from one another. Plus, he seems pretty spot on with the rest of his commentary. Sorry if he rubbed you the wrong way enough for you to jump on him over a freakin' typo. No wonder Trekkies are considered a laughing stock.

A metaphorical slip of the tongue that was quickly corrected.

I'd sooner accuse the guy who switched Klingons and Romulans in STIII without changing the ship name and started this whole "Klingon BOP" mess in the first place.
