mine is Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
it just has everything like action, comedy, mystery. i love it
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home comes so close. its just as good to me but i just like Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country a bit better
The Star Trek Original Movies are such Epic Cheese , and I say that in a great American Cheese Way !! I'm very fond of them all , Wrath of Khan though , being my least favourite . I also like the Next Generation Movies , with Generations being my favourite Trek movie , and First Contact being my least favourite in that Series . I have had no real interest in the Reboot Movies , but I'm sure they're a great Set for the younger and newer Fans , so Good luck to Them !
i'm really not into "Wrath of Khan" either.
out of the Next Generation Movies "Generations" is my favorite and "First Contact" my second
Yes , there is a lot to like in Generations , even though the death scene in the finale seemed to be underdone . First Contact is a well made movie , but I found the close-ups on the actors accentuated their age some . The good thing about the Original Movies is that there was an ongoing story through the Set .
I'm also a general scifi fan and have followed the Brits with Red Dwarf and Dr Who as well as many others . How do you compare Star Trek to these ?
believe it or not i love scifi but haven't seen any of those
shareI must say I'm surprised , Kurt ! Red Dwarf premiered on British Tv in 1988 and has continued to the present 2016 , with the same actors over 11 Seasons , with a 12th on order . It is a Space Sci-Fi Satire/Sitcom , about a group of futuristic buddy's marooned in space in a malfunctioning spacecraft . Their very eccentric or male attitudes to their situation have kept the series aloft for 28 years . My wife hates it , and it is banned from being on Tv , when she is in the room !
Doctor Who has run from 1963 to 2016 over 37 Seasons , with other numerous book , multimedia , radio and television spin-offs . It is about a Time Lord/Holocaust Survivor who is trying to rectify the Time War/Disaster . He is hiding in Britain and trying to help them . The situations the Doctor finds himself in lead to the Series eccentric entertainment .
For a newbie , it's best to break into the Who Continuum with the 2005 Series 1 and go from there !
i heard of Dr Who but not Red Dwarf
are you saying i should watch Dr Who first, then Red Dwarf?
i always wanted to watch Dr Who
Both shows are very British , with that embedded subtle British humor . With non-British viewers it's 50/50 , some love it , but many can't get into the culture or humor of it , because it's British with many waiting for the action , that never comes .
Red Dwarf started as a low-budget comedy for the BBC's 2nd Channel , but has become increasingly refined and noticed.. but it is still a comedy on a busted interstellar ship .
Doctor Who is full of twisted plots with weird people and creatures . You can jump into any Season , but the storyline is ongoing , and it can get confusing .
Doctor Who Season 1 2005 was the beginning of the new updated modern Doctor Who . The Series from there is quite long and involving , and it is really up to the viewer if he has the time to become part of the weird and wonderful Series to be enjoyed .
So , The Best of British !
I have the "Red Dwarf" novels as well as the scripts from the first few seasons. "Steptoe and Son in space on acid" was how the creators described the initial concept. I also have a few of the episodes on video cassette. One of my favourite episodes is where the snide and cowardly Arnold Rimmer meets his alternate self from another dimension - a Rimmer who is dashing, charismatic, brave and modest. I also like the episode where Rimmer contracts a "holo-virus" and goes mad.
It's a pity they felt it necessary to remaster and "improve" the show by adding in a whole lot of sophisticated high-tech SFX, even changing the shape of the spaceship. When the writers first came up with the idea, they wanted to emphasise the ordinariness of life on a futuristic spaceship, with very low key production values. The pilot script said that the interior of the spaceship could look like the corridors of a TV company.
I'm a Doctor Who fan as well, though I tend to prefer the "classic" episodes.
