Industrial Light and Magic did the special effects, and apparently they have made it a game to sneak in something from their most famous works into Star Trek. The Millenium Falcon helped fight the Borg Cube in First Contact, so this kind of thing is nothing new.

Don’t be dissin’ Galaxy Quest! It’s the third-best Star Trek movie ever!

That’s what I say about Spaceballs. Second best Star Wars movie, ever.

Fans are becoming idiots. The worst Trek movie? Not even close. V was awful and X (Nemesis) is unwatchable. Yes, Nemesis breaks the pattern of even-numbered Trek film being the better of the bunch.
As for ST-V, it certainly doesn't beckon the fans back for repeat viewings. However, when you pare it down to 1 hour (leaving the more objectionable content on the cutting room floor), break it into the classic teaser + five acts format and add classic Trek touches throughout, V does make a somewhat decent "TV episode":

When it comes to ST-V, I have just two words: Cynthia Gouw.

Hmmmm.
I’m thinking that these kind of comments are why the previous thread went “poof”

...Abrams' film was voted the worst Star Trek film in the entire canon by "Trekkers". I thought it was a wasted opportunity.
It wasn't a story that needed retelling. They had a blank canvas to set a new direction after the first movie, and they blew it.
What's the third movie going to do, have the crew find a ship where someone is inexplicably frozen in a shower?

I can’t believe she was 50 in Galaxy Quest.
To: Morgana
I just watched the entire sequence where stuff gets blown into space and freeze framed several spots. There is one scene that might qualify as R2 but it’s no longer than a fleeting second and of questionable clarity.

brothers who did a great job on Matrix One agreed. Too bad they never made any sequals.

nuSpock is severely miscast.
Abrams just takes bits and pieces from TOS and slaps together something with some cgi effects.
no character developement.
just flash wiz and and tight boom shots.

Although both franchises are cultural icons, and the new entries of both have gotten progressively weaker over the years, Star Wars has always been MUCH better than Star Trek.
