So, in preparation for the greatest day of my life, I’ve been watching all 10 previous films in order. I just finished “Insurrection” last night, so “Nemesis” is the only one left (and will probably have to wait until this weekend before I can get to it).
I’m not sure I’ve ever actually ranked them in my order of preference, so here goes:
1). Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
2). Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
3). Star Trek: First Contact (1996)
4). Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
5). Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
6). Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)
7). Star Trek Generations (1994)
8). Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)
9). Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
10). Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
As you can see, they definitely follow with the “even numbered films are better than odd numbered films” rule of Star Trek movies. Really, “First Contact” and “IV” should probably be tied, as they’re pretty close together, but “First Contact” really is a great movie in its own right. “VI” is one I’ve always liked, especially after watching the “making of” featurette and realizing it was almost entirely based on the Cold War (I was 9 when it came out…didn’t quite catch the symbolism…), but mainly because it was SO MUCH BETTER than the movie that preceded it.
Anyway, that’s my list. Just figured I should put it out there… 😛
I would shake up your numbers 5,6, and 7 a bit – but all in all you did quite well. So glad you have an appreciation for fine films!! HA Do you have your tickets yet??
5, 6, and 7 are a bit…”fluid,” I agree… 😛 I could switch a few of those around, but overall, it’s pretty close to that for me.
You gonna get iMax tickets?
Yup. For 10:00 at Ronnie’s next Thursday. 🙂
