It's as much Star Trek as the unofficial Trek movie Galaxy Quest. Doesn't matter if the characters and universe are different, it's got the same vibe to fit in.

Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie

Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.

Undiscovered Country is my favorite TOS movie, even above The Wrath of Khan.

Undiscovered Country is even better if you watch it in the original Klingon.

I'd put it above all the TNG movies, too.

I can understand why. The motivations and message are a bit deeper than WoK. But UC wouldn't have happened (in the same way) without WoK first, since I don't think Kirk had the same hatred towards Klingons before. Distrust sure, but not revenge level hate.

UC also has that connection with one of the best TNG episodes, Yesterday's Enterprise.

Good point, at worst it ranks about equally with Galaxy Quest for me ... Sigourney Weaver weights my ranking a lot though

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

I will agree that those two movies have the absolute best soundtracks of all the movies.

The Orville has more Star Trek Vibe than most recent official shows

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

More than Discovery. Somewhat less than SNW. Not even close to Lower Decks.

A few years back, it was true, though. Picard…
