Trek movie moments that sucked.

"never saw the sun...." WHHHHOOOOOSSSHHHHH
Picard completely missed using the Nexus the easy way to save Kirk, his dead family members and stop Soren.
I think any moment involving "the Nexus" counts as one that sucked.. even the script writers admit that it made little sense in the end.
Agreed. The way to have made the Scotty bit work better was if he would have been walking down the corridor with a cadet when he said the line about knowing every inch of the ship, and the CADET, absorbed in Scotty's wisdom walks into the beam, falls out of shot, and Scotty keeps walking, oblivious.
Still schtick, but not as embarrassing.

MEESA ALL GLOWY! Oh, wait, wrong film...
^ Oh, that's just icky. I think you win.
Two lesser things that have always bugged me, from TUC:
* The gimmicky electronic bosun's whistle device in the transporter room, when an actual bosun's whistle is so incredibly simple that a futuristic version is nonsensical.
* And all the conventional 20th century fire extinguishers scattered around the ship.

Weren't there conventional 20th century fire extinguishers all over the ship in TWOK as well? Must be a Nick Meyer thing.
And frankly, given how many explosions they were setting off during the battle scene, I'd probably feel better as a cast member or extra that those are sitting around.

Rewatching Star Trek IV recently on movie channels. It's a goofy ass movie, I admit more enjoyable than I remember, but sooo stupid at times.
"NUKE-WE-AR WESSELS!"
And that cop never moves...was he a dummy?
The acid trip when they first go back in time? WTF?
"ADMIRAL, THERE BE WHALES HERE!"
How we go from space opera to this?
"All charges against the accused are dropped except for one...disobeying orders."
What about the Klingons threating war?
"Who cares? We beat a turd log probe, the Klingons ain't got nothing on that!"

It was a real cop, if I'm not mistaken and since he wasn't SAG, they didn't want him talking. Go figure.
I think it's funny the way it turned out, with him just staring at them stone-faced.

Absolutely. I've made that argument a million times. The movie would've improved immenselly had Kirk said "We can go anywhere in space and time and you want to go back moments before this Soran character succeeds in his goal? Why not earlier, couldn't we save more lives?"
Picard: "Yes, yes we could." (with trademark Stewart realization expression)
Cut to burning vineyard house...blah, blah Kirk and Picard save family but there's no time to chat. Call up Riker, "Captain, how did you get to Earth?" (with trademarked confused Frakes look)
"No time to explain, Will."
The Enterprise arrives as the Romulans are attacking the research station. Drive Romulans away or whatever. They uncover Soran's plan, but he refuses to surrender...blah-blah-action-scene...he dies.
