      The 2009 film was really fucking good IMO. It’s what got me interested in the series to begin with.

        To each their own haha. The 2009 movie was the first ST movie I ever saw and I was not a fan.

        FWIW, I mostly enjoy TOS, TNG and DS9. Not a star wars fan at all. To me the movie felt too much like star wars. It wasn’t dry enough and didn’t feel anything like a televised stage play lmao.

          Well I was a huge Star Wars fan at the time (stopped caring after Disney ruined the franchise with excessive content bloat), so that might explain it haha

      Well this is a take I can’t believe is being upvoted…

      To answer your question, no every movie has been good. I’m sure if they made a Section 31 movie it would be good too but they never actually made it so we’ll never know.

        I haven’t seen every Star Trek movie but the ones I’ve seen have been pretty bad.

        I’m here for the philosophy and the diplomacy, the movies always feel like they are made for a different audience.

          Movie Star Trek is different from TV Star Trek. Except for Insurrection which is just a 2 part episode in a movie trench coat. And probably Section 31 but I don’t plan to watch that and find out.
