After I saw the new Star Trek movie, I did my usual thing and went back to the old movies to re watch them. They're pretty much how I remember them. They ranged form great to decent, with Part 2 among the best and Part 5 among the weakest. Oh, and Part 1's apparent lack of plot so they spend 10 minutes showing a shuttle fly by the Enterprise.

I didn't watch the first 3 Next Generation movies because I saw them fairly decently, but I never saw the 10th film it he series, "Nemesis," since I saw it in theaters in 2002. This is very bizarre to me because I'm a big Star Trek fan, especially for The Next Generation. I guess because I never owned it, but I even remember not watching it when m,y parents rented it when it came out on video. I remember not liking this movie AT ALL. Maybe at the time I was expecting to much from it after the middle of the road "Insurrection." Maybe I was reoccupied about the random old high school friend I ran into at the theater, and it was a tad awkward. Maybe the series finale of "Voyager" left a bad taste in my mouth. I dunno.

So after re-watching the movie last night, I can say it's not a bad movie at all. My only complaint is there really isn't any character development. The entire movie is more action based. I remember not liking the Plot Device known as B4... Data's long lost little brother. And it still feels way underdeveloped, and more of a excuse to keep a Data like character around if the series continued. (And in fact the Star Trek 2009 prequel comic has B4 turing into Data v2.0)

But in the end of the day its still entertaining. Maybe all it took was 7 years of loathing to make me not care anymore?

How about you? What's your favorite Star Trek movie? Or your least favorite?
