I hope one was expecting an argument about Nemesis sucking. I'd still watch it over ST V.

I've seen every Star Trek movie more than once. Except Nemesis. I saw it in the theater and that was it. Don't know if I'll ever watch it again or not. I feel like I should just to see if it was as bad as I remember.

Now there's a true Sophie's Choice type scenario. Which one will I subject myself to again?  :tickedoff:

Not sure I could stomach the Uhura fan dance again.

Both movies were bad, but Nemesis sucked way harder.  It tried to be the TNG version of (and/or homage to) The Wrath of Khan, but failed utterly -- and miserably.  The entire storyline was ridiculous, a lot of the scenes simply made no sense (.e.g, Picard tearing around an alien planet in a desert rover in reckless -- and wildly uncharacteristic -- disregard of the Prime Directive), the plot holes were even bigger than usual (painfully so), and the dialogue felt stilted/forced almost all the way through.  The whole thing left me feeling cold & empty

At least The Final Frontier has a "So bad it's good" characteristic to it, perhaps in part to it possessing a certain degree of Narm Charm.  It even boasts the occasional decent and/or funny line.  ("Please Captain, not in front of the Klingons."  "I lost a brother once...I was lucky to get him back.")  TFF may be terrible -- and it is -- but at least it's still very much in the spirit of Trek.

QuoteTarantino is reportedly teaming up with J.J. Abrams to come up with a new idea for a future "Star Trek" installment. Tarantino would direct the film.

You missed a spot...this alone means it will probably be crap, regardless of Tarantino directing.
