Holy crap! Put the remote DOWN, Jongs, and back away slowly. I think it's time to stage a Star Trek intervention!
But yeah, I'm with ya on the new one, AND on II, III, and IV being the best of the rest. The new one floored me - something I always WANT a Star Trek movie to do, but which they rarely accomplish.

I love II and IV. III, not so much, but I still enjoy it (would like it even more if Kirk didn't wear a pink outfit throughout the film).

Please re-evaluate. It is not possible for you and I to agree on anything. That event would potentially create the largest singularity in the universe, ie, the end of all things.

Bah - We've agreed on a thing or two, and so far's I can tell, the 'verse just keeps spinnin' its happy merry...

Ive seen the new one 4 times myself (well, once with the commentary), and at this point, I'd place it below II, and maybe just a hair above First Contact, my previous second-fav.

#1 TMP ( I know, but I love it)
#2 Khan/Search/Voyage Home (I consider it a single tale)
#3 The Undiscovered Country
#4 Trek 09
#5 Insurrection/ First Contact (equal)

The movie just gets better each time I see it. The characters and acting are terrific. This movie has a lot of action, and the pace is fantastic. And it has tremendous emotional situations as well. Dammit Jim, I actually welled-up a time or two! I may have felt that way 25+ years ago with II, III, & IV, but I've seen them so many times since that they just don't interest or excite me any more. This new Trek gives great hope for many more great Trek movies, the next one will be in 2011.
