Yes, we know it had a cat lady with 3 TRIBBLE. Something other than that. :P

I'll start - I actually liked the story.
Dear Devs: I enjoyed the Legacy of Romulus expansion much more than the Delta Rising expansion. .

    Jerry Goldsmith returns to the franchise with his Enterprise theme and all around good music.

    The character interaction between Kirk, Spock and Bones.

    And Scotty knocking his head; "I know this ship like the back of my hand!" *THUD* :P

    Music is good
    Plot is interesting
    Some of the best Kirk-Spock-McCoy banter in the original six films.

    And it made a good basis for a Foundry mission!

    You're right. The work here is very important.

    Something positive...Uhura became a stripper without losing her dignity. Spock nerve pinched a horse. And Sybok died. All high points.

    I liked the Kirk/Spock/McCoy scences, very TOS-like.
    Interactions between crew members where unusual familiar for a TOS movie IMO, but i liked it.

    I've always liked the number 5. Even when it's written as V.

    Some great Kirk/Spock/McCoy interactions, perhaps some of the best of the film series, especially around the camping trips and brig scene.

    Then there's the classic "I know this ship like the back of my hand" scene with Scotty (promptly followed by a close encounter with a support beam). Makes me laugh every time.

    And can you really beat the whole meeting God and asking him what he needs with a Starship piece?

    Then to round it off, there's the first signs of peace with the Klingons and Checkov paying rather close attention to the muscles of a certain Klingon Officer.

    So that's four postives as I count it for a film that had great potential based on its plot line.

    Kirk's questioning of a "god" felt like classic TOS. "What does God need with a starship?" So much TOS nostalgia in that scene.

    Some of the sequences with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy...

    1. At the beginning especially when Kirk is blasted by Bones for risking his life needlessly. Then Kirk saying that he knew he wouldn't die because they were with him.

    2. The sequence where Sybok is showing their pain...

    3. kirk's best quote from the movie.

    That is it really...The premise was interesting but should have been handled differently...

    Nichelle singing.

    There were a lot of fragments I liked, but the best has to be the scene McCoy is forced to relive, where it is revealed to us the heartbreaking moment when as doctor and son he decides to spare his father further suffering...only to find a cure is discovered mere months later.

    It is one of the more powerful moments in the Trek films which unfortunately gets lost in all the mess that is the rest of the film.

    I always wanted a pair of Spock's boots. I'd say those boots were amongst the best things V had to offer.

    All of the scenes with Kirk, spock and bones together. Seriously, I could just watch the whole movie of those three at that campfire.


    Some truly great ideas, asking us about why we believe in what we do, what it means to search for our place in the universe and are we ready to meet our creators?

    After watching it with commentary from Bill & Liz Shatner and learning that a lot of what they wanted to do didn't make it in, I can now fill in the gaps. It has become my favourite now. And I agree with all of you that the character interaction was great. The only thing that bothers me now is that they were on Earth. I like it better when the Enterprise is 'out there'.

    Yes that scene was very draining for DeForest Kelly who had recently loss his own father at the time. It's said he needed to have time alone just after filming that scene to recover a bit. Interesting stuff.

    I thought there was an odd timbre to his voice.
