I didn't hate it when I saw it in theaters. Thought it was better than IX and VII but not VIII. It was a hit heavy on wanting to be star wars. The buggy ride, fighter ships, fights on gangways above huge chasms on the ship, the humorous banter while pew pew. Didn't like the death of Data. Didn't we learn anything from Spock? I liked the world building for the Roms and the Rems. I liked Hardy in it.
I don't mind rewatching this movie. I feel it benefits from aging a bit like III doesn't (but V does for me). And I'd argue it's definitely better than PIC S2, if not the whole show.
The general vibe around this movie is bad because the box office take wasn't great and then we learned all these little tidbits from BTS: Wesley (the boy?!) being cut out of the wedding scene or the director thinking Geordie was an alien. I think Frakes in the chair would have done a better job with it.
True to your username, I heard the clip haha
Ugh. How did Stuart Baird end up directing this when you have a huge bullpen of Trek actor/directors that could've done so much better? Frakes is right there and did fine on First Contact / Insurrection. LeVar Burton himself, or even Roxann Dawson or Robert Duncan McNeill would have been available by then (although most of their directing credits come later).
I could understand if they went outside for someone that had a track record of decent movies, but Baird had little experience directing before Nemesis and apparently none afterwards.
Best boss I ever had.
I don't necessarily understand why they chose that director but I kind of get why they wanted to try someone else. IX hadn't been a great success. They wanted to find new momentum like a sports ball team swapping coaches when the season is going south. Team still got relegated. Life is like that sometimes. It's easy for me to say Frakes would've been better because I have the benefit of hindsight.
