    I disagree about this being "not the best movie". It vastly improved the Klingons; the one exception being Kruger being piratical and not very honorable.

    • @mitcharcher7528
      @mitcharcher7528 Před 2 lety +15

      My headcanon is that Klingon culture wasn’t all about honor during 23rd century. They’d moved away from their old traditions and become the schemers we see in that era.
      Then, after Praxis nearly collapsed the Empire, they did some serious soul searching and the culture shifted back to their historical honor-based warrior culture.

    • @PaulMcElligott
      @PaulMcElligott Před 2 lety +15

      Not all Klingons were about honor (cough, Duras. Cough, cough, Duras sisters), so there was no contradiction.

      Although when Kirk asks for a minute to inform his crew, Kruge does grant "two minutes for you and your gallant crew" which is arguably a teensy bit honourable. ;)

    It's always been said that the even numbered Star Trek movies were better than the odd numbered ones. While this may be true, Search for Spock is worlds better than Nemesis and IMO better than ST:IV as IV looked more like a TV series episode and not a Star Trek movie.

    • @GrimmShadowsII
      @GrimmShadowsII Před 2 lety

      IV just felt like they were trying too hard to make a comedy and just seemed ridiculous when I last watched it a year or so ago. I don't want a movie to ever bee completely serious but IV just went too far in the comedy direction compared to most Star Trek movies.

    The odd numbered rule thing only came with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek III does get unfairly grouped with them as a bad movie. My opinion though is Star Trek III is as good as Star Trek II and is a fitting sequel to that great movie.

      @DarkStarX Před 2 lety +3

      @@PaulMcElligott you’re actually correct, two different ways. 1) because it did look better than blowing up the bottom. 2) Since Star Trek II everything was based more on Starfleet being a Navy than the flower loving, bandage giving Roddenberry vision. When trying to self destruct in reality the area where it’s being blown up from is always the first place to go.

    • @joermnyc
      @joermnyc Před 2 lety +2

      I think there’s a few “modes” to self destruct, blowing up the warp core might have also destroyed the Klingon ship and now they are stranded on a soon to die Genesis. (Another mode seems to be an “instant” destruct with no countdown at all… ship wide suicide… yikes.)

Ignore anything that happened in that awful series because none of that is cannon, an cannot possible be cannon as it violates EVERYONE that had been established in every series and movie that pre-dates it. (that being said, nothing after that series should be considered cannon either due to it's pollution).
