And here's a cool video of some fans that just watched all the films and ranked them too. Great stuff!

TREKATHON: Star Trek Movie Marathon

OMV! GENERATIONS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME! 6.57?! ok first contact was pretty good. insurrection at the bottom? dang. i thought it was decent.

jedijeff · May 28, 2011, 04:28:20 PM

Besides First Contact, the TNG movies did not fare very well in these folks rankings.

Bryancd · May 28, 2011, 04:45:07 PM

TWOK ad First Contact are THAT good. In fact in general, I agree with their rankings.

Rico · May 28, 2011, 05:06:45 PM

What I was a little surprised by was how high they ranked the Abrams film. I expected them to rank it up there, but it got pretty big numbers. Of course I like the film a lot too, but I just was impressed by how much they liked it as well.

Bryancd · May 28, 2011, 05:25:02 PM

Well, I mean the biggest competition to the new STAR TREK is STAR TREK IV. Other than that, what, Generations or Undiscovered Country? Can't hold the same level of thrill to the JJ film.

Rico · May 28, 2011, 06:09:48 PM

If you mean in terms of general public appeal, I would agree. However, I'm guessing that people that sit down to watch all 11 Trek films in a row are pretty much definitely Trekkies. So, I was just a bit surprised at the rating from that type of group.

Bryancd · May 28, 2011, 08:46:43 PM

No, I will would still contend it was that good regardless. I don't think hard core Trek fans dismissed it, although they, myself included, may have wanted to.

We have been watching the marathon. Thanks Rico for letting us know.

I still think you are missing my point Bryan. All I was saying is I think the general public would rate the 2009 film higher on average than a long time Trekkie would. Maybe not by a lot more, but some. You all know I really enjoyed the Abrams movie, but again it just surprised me a little how much this group did.

Was watching some of this yesterday during yard work breaks and then the wife and I started to watch IV from the beginning. We got tired of the commercials so we put in the dvd. We noticed a couple parts that thet deleted on tv but that is to be expected. I'll probably catch some more of it today because it is nice to see them in HD.

stonut · May 29, 2011, 09:10:00 AM

Your all so spoiled over there, getting to watch all this great scifi lol

WillEagle · May 30, 2011, 10:42:16 AM

Watched #6 last night. Kept it on the tv though because of the HD. Love the part at the end when Kirk says "Fire". Don't laugh but that part gives me goosebumbs when ever I see it!

I saw a little of it too. For some reason I tuned in when Kirk is fighting that big guy and kicks him in his "knee." ;)
