So, the next time you're depressed because the BDM's release date has been pushed back, just remember...

Oh, and not to hog the thread, but I always thought they missed an obvious gag. When the Thermians were gushing sentimental welcomes to the crew, it would have been funny to have the alien leader's eyes grow wide in wonder at the sight of Guy. "Aaah! Crewman Number Six! We thought you lost in the jaws of the great lava beast!"

Would'a done wonders for Guy's self-image, too.

Such a great and quotable movie. I use Guy's "Oh, that's not right!" a fair bit.

The show's revival at the end with new crew member Security Chief 'Roc' Ingersol is awesome too :)

Yeah, that movie was wonderfully done. The DVD is great, in my opinion. There's some fun deleted scenes, and you can watch the movie in Thermian. Yes, it's annoying and unintelligible, but it's really funny... For a minute or two. Then it really starts to give you a headache.

But after half-an-hour, it gets funny again.

I agree with everyone's assessments above. Some very interesting stuff (quotes, trivia, etc.) is available about the movie at IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0177789.

Oh ya, great movie.

My ex wife hates scifi, but I talked her into going when the movie came out in the theaters. She loved it.

I watched it over the weekend also, along with my son. I'd almost forgotten how many good gag lines they had.

I agree, Alan Rickman was perfect in this film, as well as Sigourny Weaver with the Victoria Secrets product placement



Am I a Lion?... No, I think I'ma tellin' the truth.

Easily the best Star Trek movie ever made.

And the geek kids rushing to save the day (and the rushed but matter-of-fact explanation to the kid's parents) made my geek/goth cousin laugh so hard she couldn't breath.

My two favorite moments were when "Captain Taggert" realizes that he's actually on a spaceship in another galaxy before being shot through space and into a black hole that deposits him back at his L.A. pad. The look on his face afterwards is hilarious.

And the scene where they're testing out the transporter, and the pig lizard is horribly mutated.

"But the animal is inside out."
"WHAT??? It's inside out?"
(the animal then explodes, spewing flesh and internal organs all over the room)
"And it exploded."

Oh, and the chompers scene is the only scene I've seen in an action movie that acknowledges the whole "dangerous for no real reason" workplace.

That was - by far - my favorite scene in the movie. It works on so many levels, and for me, as a role-player, it works on even more...
