Spike The Trill 0 Posted June 30, 2005 The More you watch Nemesis the more you Like I think, It has a god Charm and tae it for what it is an Action flick "popcorn" Movie, now TMP I trieed to watch it today and ell asleep, that is still #2 to me, Generations was so Disappointing, to have the 2 Captains meet, and have them COOKIN!!!!!!! WTF, now Generations would of been awsome, if the 2 enterprises meet and had to face off with each other at 1st, thats the Movie I think everyone wanted to see, not a Freaking Martha Stewart Moment betweem Kirk & Picard, and having Picard Cry, I mean its sad he lost his family, but doesnt make him seem "manly" 336208[/snapback] I would have loved to see Enterprise-A and Enterprise-D team together. and as for Picard crying, I felt it added to his character.

Moore and Brannon Braga did for Generations, they indicated that it was Patrick Stewart's decision to have Picard cry - it wasn't in the script. From what I recall I think they felt that Picard wouldn't cry in that situation. I agree with dragonwrangler's comments about the more you see Nemesis the better it is. I also believe that the movie would have been soooo much better if it had had a director that knew something about Trek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted July 1, 2005 Real men don't cry, you cut off your leg with a chainsaw, you suck it up throw the leg in the cooler qand have a beer (i stole that from a comedian his name escapes me but i think it was Jeff Foxworthy) Kirk had his son killed almost in front of him, did he cry, no he kicked butt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted July 1, 2005 Though not shown directly it was implied Kirk cried. Watch the scene again, a few moments after Kirk falls on his butt at the news of Davids death Kirk is sitting facing away from the bridge crew with his head down while [presumably] just finishing a good cry. (Shatner probably insisted we not see him cry) McCoy stands next to him with a consoling hand upon Kirks shoulder. Kirk then gently pushes McCoy aside, stands up, turns around and commences the butt kicking. On topic: I'll say the theatrical release of TMP is my least favorite.

Hell, I cried like a baby when my sister died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kor37 9 Posted July 2, 2005 I really like TMP! I guess you had to be there when it first came out. It was an incredibly emotional experience for Trek fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted July 2, 2005 I was there. Sure it was exciting then but the fun memories is not enough to keep the movie (full version) from being dull today. Now the SE on DVD is a different story, the magic was brought back with it's release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted July 2, 2005 if I spend the Money to get th SE of TMP will I be able to stay awake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted July 2, 2005 I'd recommend you get it IF you like the story but were turned off by the time it took to tell originally. The SE moves at light speed & 21st century effects have been sprinkled throughout to enhance the visual feel. If the whole idea of Veg'er being what it turned out to be is what you did not like then don't bother.

sea trooper 0 Posted July 14, 2005 I saw TMP for the first time recently. I only fell asleep once. I don't know how long I was out but by the time I woke up I was still in the same scene I last remembered. Though I don't remember how long that scene was. But other then the longwinded scenery, I liked the ending and the beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
