Star Trek Movie Stamp by TheKnightOfTheVoid on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I'm probably one of the few Star Trek fans who actually likes all the movies.

And yes, I'm serious, I do like ALL the movies, including:

-Star Trek V: The Final Frontier -Star Trek Nemesis -Star Trek '09 (even though this film was successful, it still gets bashed by many fanboys)

I understand people's criticisms, but that doesn't mean I have to not like these films, right?

With Star Trek V in particular, I think it had a lot of potential. I freely admit that the special effects look terrible, but effects aren't everything. I also agree that some of the humor is a bit off (ie. Scotty banging his head). However, I rather liked the film's overall concept. The plot has a theme of searching for God, which is very much in the vein of The Original Series's theme of exploration. Out of all the TOS films, Star Trek V's storyline comes the closest to the TV series, and in my opinion, that's definitely a redeeming quality.

And with Nemesis, I admit it has its flaws and could have been better. My only real complaint is that the psychological scenes between Picard and Shinzon were just dull and boring. I personally attribute that to the fact that the studio brought in Stuart Baird, who had no previous experience with the franchise, as the director. I think the film would have been better if Jonathan Frakes had returned to direct. But overall, I liked the story, and I thought the action sequences were well-done. Nemesis is definitely better than most people give it credit for.

If you're a Star Trek fan who shares my opinions, feel free to use this stamp.

I may do an animated version of this in the future, if I can ever get the right program.
