There’s a new Star Trek trailer and it looks terrible

It has a lot of punching, precious little "science fiction."

takk825[/url]":lbru6k7y]It seems to me that a few of the Star Trek movies have had more on-planet scene time than space. The two that pop into my mind are Voyage Home and Insurrection.

In other words, one of the best (The Voyage Home) and one of the worst (Insurrection) entries in the Star Trek film series.

bigstrat2003[/url]":lbru6k7y]"That kind of crap" is exactly what every Star Trek movie was like, apart from I and arguably VI. II, III, V and all the TNG movies were pure "action movie in space" movies.

Insurrection sure wasn't. Insurrection was widely criticized as being an overlong episode, which didn't make for a great movie, but certainly explored moral aspects of the science of Star Trek.

I had just rewatched that movie for the first time in a very long while a month ago, and I was surprised at how much I liked it. I had remembered it as being fairly lackluster, and so had avoided it for years, but, aside from a couple goofy parts (the "joystick"), I was delighted to rediscover a lot of humor and introspection that I had, apparently, forgotten.

Just want to chime in on Insurrection: I too, had a low opinion of it until I watched them all back-to-back over the course of a few weeks, and concluded that Insurrection is really the best TNG movie. Don't remember details anymore, but I think it was mainly that Insurrection was actually *about* something. First Contact, while fun, was more in the "blow stuff up" lane.
