Now I have to watch Star Trek 6 to get some context...
Is it any good? I only ever saw Wrath of Khan and 4 because I didn't grow up back in those days, and most older people (like my own dad) said most of the original movies kinda suck. 🤣
I love all the TOS films (which is more than I can say for any other era), but at the very least I’d think that if you like II and IV you ought to enjoy III and VI.
III is the middle of a trilogy you’ve already seen the first and last instalments of and is a solid adventure on its own, and VI brings back the director of II to give the whole series a proper send off.
Star Trek VI is the best one, IMO. It has:
Of the TOS movies, the even ones are great, the odd ones are much weaker.
II, IV, and VI are all worth a watch. They are a good movie, an entertaining movie, and a surprisingly good movie respectively.
I'll watch the odd numbered ones as well but I'm a fan and I know I is too long, III is mostly not good, and I enjoy V for its craziness.
Star Trek VI captured a very specific moment in time in the real world. It's a direct allegory for the end of the cold war, with all the mistrust and hope that came along with that. People usually rank it below IV and II but there's a big gap between the top 3 and the rest.
Star Trek VI is generally considered one of the "good ones".
Of course, the secret is, they're all the good ones.
Yes, even that one.
Well David C. Fein argues it was bad because it was incomplete. The Director’s Cut is the completed version.
Is the director’s cut the version where they cut away from the mind meld scene to shoehorn in a bunch of flashbacks for people who can’t remember the conspirators names?
If so, I hate that version! What a garbage change to a magnificently acted scene.
