My eyes got a little moist at the end too. Overall I feel it falls slightly short of First Contact. Still enjoyable though. :)

Ketchup's eyes got moist?? Oh no, I'll bawl like a big old baby, won't I???

Webkitty, I'm just curious...are you a fan of the series? I hate to hear anyone think it was bad, but its worse if you're a fan. I'm a big fan of the series (still watch the reruns and have most the episodes on tape) and especially if it's the last movie, I don't want it to be bad, I don't, I don't, I don't!!! It's too dang depressing to think it's not good.

I'll do this movie like the rest, wait til its been out for awhile then go see it. I hate crowds, lol.

I'm a huge fan of TNG, but this paticular movie did not grab me. I left my review in the ~movies that you thought you would love but were disappointed thread~

It was generally panned by most critics, so I guess I'm not alone in feeling it wasn't up to what it should be, especially for the last installment.

We were lucky in avoiding crowds yesterday. We weren't going to see it, but just happened to be driving by a theater we usually don't go to, and the parking lot looked empty. The movie was starting soon, so we decided to go for it. NO ONE was in the theater! By the time the movie actually started, about 12 other people had drifted in.

Dang, thats depressing! When someone doesn't like the movies its easier if that persons not a fan, because they generally don't expect as much as the fans do, or they just don't get the whole Trek thing. When a fan doesn't like it that's bad, lol.

I'll still go see it, but at least I'm prepared for it to be not as good as what I expect.

Patrick Stewart was on Conan thsi past week. Conan asked hom about what he though about it being the last movie. Stewart said the "statement" that we all hear says that it's the "end of the beginning...".

Stewart said that any time you hear the word beginning in such a statement, do not assume there isn't a chance for another movie.

I haven't see it yet, and was wondering if anything got the impression the end leaves room for the potential of another movie?

Read in TV Guide they're waiting to see how this one does at the box office. While it's not a garuntee that if it does great, they'll do another one, it's a good indication that they might. On the other hand, if it bombs, don't count on it, LOL.

Several of the actors, Stewart being the one I recall off the top of my head said something about he wouldn't mind doing another one, but there would have to be a good script and reason for it. He wouldn't do it just because they could do another one. Or something like that.

Yes,another one is a definite possibility. However 7.6 million box office on Friday doesn't exactly inspire confidence :(

Wargod,

I LOVED IT.

I'm with Ketchuplover it's not as good as First Contact.

I still think it was very good. the ending is sad. I had some tears too.

my son L.C. is not a fan of stare trek and he liked it too and he's 11yr.

I went with some other trekkies and they all liked it too.

not there best work but still a very good movie.

the movie coming out soon THE CORE looks good allso.

I was a little disappointed too, the baddie wasn't quite ... bad ... enough for me, but it had some good moments. I have liked Insurrection move and more each time I watch it, so it's possible this will grow on me too. It's definitely not as good as First Contact though, imo. Cried at the end too, it was a bit of a shock, I didn't think I would but tears almost burst out of me!

I read a rumor about the ending a couple months ago but still teared up.

I had tears in my eyes at the end also....mostly because, special effects notwithstanding, this was probably the worst of the Trek movies and I've seen them all in the theatre and own them all on DVD or VHS. Went with my wife and sister-in-law and they are dyed-the-wool trekies, even to the point of going to a couple of the "conventions". They were polite but admitted it wasn't the best. Can't put my finger on exactly what didn't hit me right about the movie, it just never happened.

Sorry Kechuplover, we were discussing Ebert's funny review of the movie earlier. The link is posted in "the movies you thought you'd like but didn't" thread.
