The idea that any Star Trek movie was worse than Phantom Menace is laughable.
What I really liked about the Star Trek movies is that they all were really one big movie about the end of the careers of the whole cast.
I think it was probably unique amongst any serial movies ever produced in Hollywood.
I have rarely gone to a movie knowing I’d regret it. But PM was that movie. I have the collection on DVD...and ‘it’ will one day become an unwatched collectors item.
