Yeah, but we'd have been spared the sight of the ridiculous military dune buggy.

What an excruciating scene. I remember watching this when I was younger and finally understanding why people were so critical of the TNG movies. (9 and 10 at least.)

I liked all the TNG movies. Generation was annoyng in parts as was Insurrection but the other two were fine.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Ships went "boom" in a shitty way, due mostly to mass stupidity on all sides.
And Data's death was ridiculously dumb. Seriously, he couldn't have carried another of those portable transporter things with him? :roll:
In fact, why the hell did Picard even go alone?

Generations was mediocre, but better than TMP and TFF.
First Contact was the best of the lot by a distance.
Insurrection was a 45-minute TV episode crammed into a two-hour film, with morality that's dubious at best.
Nemesis was simply idiotic.

Generations was watchable but nothing amazing.

First Contact was great.

Insurrection was a bit of light hearted fun. Its not an epic movie but I can sit down an enjoy it.

I've stated many times that I liked Nemesis. I know it has many poor plot points in it but I can ignore them pretty easy and enjoy the movie.

Superficially, sure, but if you start to really think about it it becomes downright disturbing.

Nemesis is the sort of film that I enjoyed as an average popcorn flick the first time, but the more times I watch it the worse it gets.

Insurrection was incredibly bland for me, and the supposed heroes are fighting for some extremely screwy morals. Not a film I can enjoy, either with brain on or off.

Nemesis is passable on the first watch, but every subsequent watch just reveals more stupidity.

Most of it involving Shinzon.
Honestly, trying to remake The Wrath of Khan was a bad idea.

Insurrection, I'll watch it. Not really interesting, but then again, I'll watch the news too.
