minus-squareMelatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-218 hours agoI 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. /s
minus-squareIdeonek@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·19 hours agoWait, what are you saying. There is.a.dooferent movie named “first conact”? (Google didn’t help me)

minus-square𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8·23 hours agoExactly. 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?

minus-square𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·22 hours agoWell, 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”.
minus-squareDominusOfMegadeus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·22 hours agoI 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.
