what race is this

I thought it was cool that Matt Decker was his dad, the captain from the great TOS episode, "The Doomsday Machine". I almost sish that Decker would have said something about his dad in TMP when he was fighting with Kirk.

You're an absolute pleb.

Funny enough, Commodore Decker survived "The Doomsday Machine" in the book adaptation. It's been a long time since I last read it but I think the novel adaptation of TMP has that as its canon. Regarding the film, that might explain the amount of anger and contempt Decker has toward Kirk beyond "He took my command".

I thought it was really frightening how the probe thingy "photographed" and recorded things by like taking them apart and destroying them in the process

Pic related describes the OP, who has accurately understood the cold, humorless, too-serious chemistry of the first film, which together with its worst-ever uniforms, are absolutely not redeemed by the sometimes-admittedly cool visual effects.

The boomers were, and are, always right: TMP sucks. The only real reason why anyone says otherwise is because zoomers have a misbegotten project of wishing to rehabilitate what their superior forebears correctly rejected, for no other reason than pure contrarianism, and not at all on the film's merits. It was left to Khan to re-inject Camp and a fair bit of humor into the Star Trek film, thus saving the media property.

No, you.

I'll push it a step further. I watched the first eight flicks as a teenager, and even then I understood that the Even-Number-Good/Odd-Number-Bad rubric did in fact generally hold up. But the one which I found to be the worst of the bunch at the time was Search for Spock. Years later I re-watched both TMP and Search for Spock, to give them another try and see if I had been too cavalier in dismissing them. Watching now as a full-adult, non-manchild casual Star Trek fan, I still found both installments inferior to the even-numbered flicks. But one important change happened: TMP was /even worse/ than I'd remembered, whereas Search for Spock was the picture that was rehabilitated somewhat on a second look, with Christopher Lloyd's performance, the daring breakout of the ship, and the resurrection sequence not seeming to drag as it had done when I was younger.

The larger point being that the larger part of Star Trek's appeal is a certain campy utopian charm and a slight levity, which were wholly absent from TMP. I remain right, and you remain wrong, and since this has been amply demonstrated, I declare victor and shall refrain further comment except to reiterate No, you where appropriate.

But Kirk, Spock, and McCoy's relationship and character arcs throughout the movie are the best thing about it. Sorry you're a brainlet.

>First Officer is melted into a blob of Lovecraftian protoplasm in an early transporter accident scene

Tip because you get it. Season 2 of TNG was a lot of Phase II scripts, it's the most 70s of all TNG. That's why that old bag of bones doc comes on board.

Roddenberry was very out of touch by that point + the studio wanted a very serious film (none of the great bantz between Spock and McCoy)
But for what it is, it's not that bad, and probably the movie that's closest to a TOS ep (ST:V is probably a little bit closer)

You faggot, I went to see it with my parents, no one fucking cried. My parents are in their 60s now and they don't remember shit, my dad thinks Star Trek IV was the only good movie and erased his memory of V and VI even though we saw both in the theaters.

Well you should have paid attention to what was happening on the screen then, you woulda saw the three's uneasy reunion and eventual coming together and character growth throughout the movie. Well, Kirk and Spock at least.

They actually brought this up on the set, but the director just kind of ignored it.
I always just imagined that Chekov was on the ship, but hadn't been promoted to the bridge crew yet.

Thank you for defeating the substance (and not just the details) of your own argument.

Parsi, so largely Iranian with some Indian admixture.

The entire opening sequence of TMP still gives me chills. The sound effects, the Klingon theme and V'ger's theme, and watching the three K'tinga-class warships be effortlessly annihilated while Epsilon-Nine watches on.

Yes they fucking did. Holy shit.
Spock learns to accept emotion again, and lets Jim back in emotionally.
McCoy doesn't want to be back at first, but warns up to it while reminding Kirk that he's not the captain anymore and needs to be more hands-off. Kirk makes good on this by respecting decker more.

>Season 2 of TNG was a lot of Phase II scripts,
This is a dumb meme. Literally only two Phase II scripts were ever used, "The Child" in S2 and "Devil's Due" in S4.

this is the second best trek movie and only tasteless americans hated it. in europe it was a big success

That's because Europe barely has any movies to speak of.

It's very flawed but I still really love that movie. What they do with the main trio was great. That scene with Spock and Kirk in the hospital room after Spock contacts V'ger is one of the best, and gayest, scenes in the franchise. It's a shame how much better this would have been if they stuck to making a TV series though. Watching it with that in mind it you can really see how it could have been great first episode but got stretched into a boring movie.

If you don't love the scene where Kirk and Scotty fly around in a little pod while viewing the Enterprise in space dock, then I hate you on a personal level.

I love it for the music and showing off the Enterprise. I hate it because it's FIVE STRAIGHT MINUTES OF DOING THAT.

you must be trolling, this scene launched a thousand fujoships youtube.com/watch?v=_h7Nm4o3aHY

What you're describing is an academic/technical exercise, not a film. That's the reason why Europeans (reportedly, if true) loved it according to , and if true, to their great discredit for capacity of aesthetic appreciation.

You're trying WAY too hard to sound smart about you just not liking the movie because the characters acted somewhat differently than in the show which was obviously intentional from the filmmakers and writers. I'm not saying it's a perfect movie by any means but you expecting everyone to just agree with your very subjective criticisms is kind of autistic desu

Is it just me or does this post sound like the kind of thing a TLJ defender would make in order to get others make the same arguments they do but in a different context?

Wait what purpose did this scene even serve? I dont recall it having any impact on the story. Also why make a thing out of Decker having to serve as science offiser for no apparent reason until spock shows up 5 minutes later?

Nice

My Mom had the full international version on vhs that included all of the additional stuff not on the dvd version. It's over 3 hours.

Having grown up on TNG before seeing TMP, I was mostly really confused by the TNG theme playing for the original Enterprise

They literally aren't, Kirk is an admiral and Spock fucked off to Vulcan, Bones has to be called in

There's no "international" version.

The longest version is the extended TV cut and even then it's only 16 minutes longer than the theatrical.

Sorry, the 1986 special collector's edition with the black and gold box.

TNG practical model was so bad it looked like bad CG.

Final Frontier is criminally underrated, and Undiscovered Country is woefully overrated.

I think you still need to reexamine TMP in the context of how it is commonly viewed today: being caught on television on a lazy weekend afternoon and put on as something to watch while friends or relatives are over.

It is a perfect film to sit and talk about while the film is going on because of the long stretches of time between dialogue.

You're parents lied to you. The promotional materials, the trailer, and hell, even the title itself, spoiled every major plot point of the film, including the destruction of the Enterprise. It was an incredibly disappointing movie because by the end it will have been the second the film with a downer, "bittersweet" ending.

Did you see it in the theatre?

>>future starships won't have Majel's voice
She recorded so much dialogue over her career that synthesizing her voice has been feasable for several years using existing audio techniques. Any artificiality can easily be retconned since it's -supposed- to be a computer voice, but again, a case like hers (well documented actress doing a computer voice) is easymode.

>What you're describing is an academic/technical exercise
>I have no idea what sci-fi is.
k

They did give Xon's actor a bit part in the listening post just after the Klingon scene.

this is what happens when you view kino with a laptop open or thumbing your phone.

> The promotional materials, the trailer, and hell, even the title itself, spoiled every major plot point of the film, including the destruction of the Enterprise.

The scene if the Enterprise blowing up in the tv commercials got me to go see it because I couldnt believe they were blowing up the Enterprise. This was before the internet, so if they would not have shown that, there would have been no way I would have known the Enterprise was going to blow up and I would have never seen it in the theater.

ST3 was also the first appearance of the USS Excelsior, one of the most beautiful designs in Trek. The whole scene of Kirk stealing the Refit from the starbase with Excelsior powering up and going after Kirk was great.

Nah, my first Trek film in the theater was IV, but I remember the controversy which was still pretty fresh in the late 80's around the time of TNG and sort of morphed into the even-odd film theory. It really all just boils down to faggots being pissed about ST3 being spoiled and never getting over it. From the last ~10 minutes of ST2 to the last ~10 minutes of ST4 is pretty awkward since they're missing huge characters (Spock, the ship itself) and you don't know how it's going to end-up. The spoiler of the title sort of tries to let you off the hook, then ends up being a bait-and-switch and you're back to missing a major character. In real time this was like 4 1/2 years of Trek fandom in a weird wilderness, but in retrospect it's fine because TNG was right around the corner (was actually beloved when it premiered and only got better. the fresh hope was partially why) and eventually ST6 set things right, but you didnt know that at the time.

>Warrior of the Lost World was totally shitty but was a pretty good MST3K episode

Oh man I love WotLW on MST3K, one of my favorites, up there with Space Mutiny.

3 was weird because you only had a tiny bit of the classic crew on a huge empty ship on a dark bridge. felt like something was missing

checked and they also used the ship streaking across the sky burning up in the atmosphere in promo shots iirc

The soundtracks for II and III are incredible, I could watch them just to listen to the music.

VI was my first Trek film in the theatre, an epic experience. I truly enjoy all of the TOS-era films. To me they all have strengths and weaknesses but I love them all the same. I also really enjoyed the TMP-era DC Comics.

>felt like something was missing
Of course. You simply cannot remove Kirk, Spock, or McCoy and carry on like normal. Other characters are expendable but the warrior-priest-physician dynamic is crucial. And then you have the ship itself which is obviously central. Leonard Nemoy wanting to be written out and then changing his mind derailed the franchise for an entire film and arguably two if you assume that they most likely would never have destroyed the ship in another film, thus Star Trek 4 is much different as well.

that's very nice, let me show you my synopsis

>McCoy, absolutely neurotic uncle that you need, good for a joke or two. Looks out for the crews well-being. Not there, just because of his medical intelligence, but to keep the crew human. Even after experiencing the great wonders and dangerous horrors of space.

>Spock, doesn't just believe things at their superficial value. Spock is the man who keeps learning. A token of stoicism. Kirk's right hand man. Won't waver from his captains decisions. But challenges Kirk to use his mind and see what lies beneath. Data is truth, there are no gods, only more advanced beings.

>Captain Kirk, within one minute of watching Kirk, you IMMEDIATELY understand what a man is. A quick thinking, swashbuckler of a man. Good with women. A great charismatic leader. We all rely upon to guide us to victory. He never gives up, there is no such thing as losing. He believes in himself. One look into his eyes and you understand and respect his tough decisions. Challenges a man like Spock to believe that the sometimes great illogical risks reap the greatest rewards. You can depend on Kirk. Chad grovels and wets his pants in his presence.

so far i haven't enjoyed any of the other star treks

>A great charismatic leader.
I feel like Kirk is the one who matured the most between TOS and TMP. Young Kirk played fast and loose with the rulebook, but Admiral Kirk has grown up quite a bit.

I am. I remember the collectible glasses and looking at the action figures at my local K-Mart. The best thing about the movie was when it premiered on network TV it was four hours with commercials. It aired over 2 nights. I got to stay up late both nights. It's still my sentimental favorite.

Almost as if the entire movie is about how they drifted apart and are coming together at the end.

Well considering the Enterprise had a chapel...what do you think?

The presence of a bible on a 300 year old sleeper ship has no bearing on the Federation at large.

Fiction is a great source of inspiration.

Paramount are greedy Jews.

Marriage will always have ceremony to it, the chapel was also bare of anything that made it specifically one religion.

Is there any love for The Animated Series?

Yeah, from morons

No

What's so horrible about it?

TAS bugs me because their faces have no movement other than their mouths. Its one thing to have characters that are ALWAYS animated from the beginning but to look at animated versions of real people with no dynamic movment is just weird

no arguments here

Remember which studio made TAS. Actually animating things requires money, which they didn't have much of.

It's better than the last three live action series.

I was never bored by TAS because the quicker pace had the episodes always end just in time.

The animation industry was in the toilet in the 70s.
Hanna-Barbera and Filmation were both the same copy/paste, stiff, soulless garbage.
Kind of like Calarts today.

It's dull, poorly acted, cheaply animated and not canon.

What does God need with a starship?

Then why is Riker freaking out the holodeck when recreation rooms were around a century earlier? Why did Jadzia say that Koloth never faced Kirk in battle when he does so in More Tribbles, More Troubles?

Because during the time those series were made Gene and the people who listened to him were retarded.

Thank you for proving me correct.

I'm going to rear admiral you in the ass.

Not everything has to be connected. Decker is the 596th most common last name in the US.

They didn't know how to write a female Bones, so they just made her a bitch. All they had to do was think of her character in TOS and write her a little older, wiser instead they made her cynical, bitter, and a poster child for post wall attractive women

The novelization specifically states he's Commodore Decker's son.

Because when you're rich and have everything, it's the only way to introduce danger back into your life (except for walking through Compton, maybe)

Doesn't make it canon, and it's a stupid part of fanon too.
