What Movie Will You NEVER Watch Again?

I saw Nemesis in the theater ONCE and have no intention of EVER seeing it again. I'd rather watch TFF 25 times in a row before ever seeing it again.

Which Trek film have YOU sworn off forever? (My number two is TUD, btw.)
 
None.

At some point, I'll watch them all again.

I own every one on DVD, with TFF being the last and final one I got.
 
Probably Nemesis. In fact, both times I have tried to watch the DVD I have fallen asleep. I'm not sure I'm even capable of watching it again.
As bad as TFF was, it did have some enjoyable moments.
 
When I saw Insurrection in the theater I vowed to never watch it again. The thing is, I remember it so vaguely now I remember my vow more than what it's about or what I didn't like. I'm tempted to see it again but I will probably still hate it.

None of them. The only movie I have issues with is Nemesis, but it's still entertaining.
 
^^^ Same here I will watch them all again. When is another story because of my schedule.

I did go several years without seeing TFF but that was because I hadn't bought the DVD and didn't care to dig out my old VHS box set that I have. I finally saw it last month when it was airing on one of the HBO channels I have on digital cable. It wasn't as bad as I remember and I plan on buying the DVD when I have the funds.
 
Citizen Kane. It was simply too long and sappy.

Oh wait, you mean Star Trek movie. :p

None. Well, actually, I'll probably never watch TMP start-to-finish ever again. Or Nem. But I'll probably watch chunks of them again.
 
Insurrection

Nemesis at least had some nice effects/moments, Insurrection just seemed like a 2 parter with a budget.
 
Nemesis, probably. I might start watching it to give it another chance, but I doubt I'll finish it.
 
If both Insurrection and Nemesis were not Star Trek, I would never have purchased either one of them on DVD.

Insurrection is too much like a regular episode, and a premise that isn't all that compelling to begin with.

As for Nemesis, this is the only DVD in my collection that if I were to lose, I would never bother replacing. The other being Rocky V. It's only there as a reminder as to "Where Star Trek went wrong...and took a complete nosedive creatively, critically, commercially, and made fans lose faith in Rick Berman's handling of the franchise, forever!" :borg:
 
I'll never watch the original cut of Star Trek - The Motion Picture again. Or "The Special Longer" version. I'll watch The Director's Edition from now on.

So? Enjoy it as a two-parter with a budget. ;)

There are very few movies I've come out of a cinema maligning that I actually spent $$$$ to see it. I recall being very underwhelmed by "Logan's Run" when it launched, because it arrived with such a blaze of publicity here.

I came out of "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" shaking my head, but it had some moments that I really enjoyed, and I recently watched the new DVD version, with the bonus workprint scenes of the original (failed) Nuclear Man, and I'm glad I finally saw how good/bad it all was.

But I've found something interesting in all the ST films, so I still find myself playing ST V every now and then. And, over time, you can develop new appreciation for different aspects of all of them. I also enjoy playing the audio commentaries, even on the lesser favourite films I own.
 
I rarely watch any of the films, but if I'm reading about one on Memory Alpha, Memory Beta or Wikipedia I tend to watch one then.

Okay, I should have said "a not very good 2 parter with a budget" :)
I found very little redeeming about the movie at all actually. Everything seemed off pace, and just not meshing at all. The funny part is that I can appreicate a bad ST movie, but I'll just end off saying that I own V on DVD, and don't own Insurrection or Nemesis.
