Star Trek First Contact

My proof reading has failed me yet again (original fuck up: Star Trek First Conact)

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I disagree. This both looked and was awesome.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Exactly. It was one of my top three ST movies, and by all accounts. Ebert reviewed it positively, as one of the best of the franchise.

I wonder why they put it in the "looks like it'd suck" category?

Haters gonna find a way to hate? 🤷‍♂️

[–] sxan@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, by including it they imply they liked it, so I'm guessing not a hater. Just curious why they said it "looked like it would be bad".

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

I was assuming they were knee-jerk reacting like "It's Star Trek, so it must be terrible," and then found out otherwise. I could be wrong though.

As a Trekkie it looked awesome to me but to my civilian friends it looked like made for TV garbage, then they saw it and loved it

I think people are missing that this movie is spelled differently than "Star Trek First Contact".

Star Trek First CONACT was a cheap, B-movie knock-off straight to DVD movie that should have sucked, but didnt.

Angela Lansbury was not nominated for an Oscar for her preformance as the Captain, but Brooke Shields notably was also in the movie as an alien.

Wait, what are you saying. There is.a.dooferent movie named "first conact"? (Google didn't help me)
