So, got these in the last batch of birthday stuff.
Let's re-assess.
Okay, let's go right to the nitpicks.
The "Hollywood backlot utopia".
The youth radiation makes the trees and crops grow faster, and the space-Amish get all their metal from cannibalizing their old spaceships and perpetually recycle.
There. Solved.
Plus, you'd have to apply these complaints to every pre-industrialist society on all the shows.
It was a dumb rabbit hole to go down. I forgive you, past-me.
"They do the opposite of what they did with the Maquis!".
Data says it. The youth radiation makes the crew rebellious like teenagers.
And Data's already a goody-two-shoes.
"The youth rays could help the whole Federation!".
Look how corrupt they are. They're not ready.
Still not a great movie, but there's some entertainment in there, and I'd watch it over genuinely bad movies like "Battlefield Earth" or legitimately evil movies, like "Unplanned" or "Sound Of Freedom".
It's an easy choice.
Acting like this movie killed John Wick's puppy is a bit much.
Now, Nemesis.
It's still not a good movie, but now in hindsight of ST;Picard, and the Riker/Titan episodes of Lower Decks, and the rest of Tom Hardy's career, it is fascinating as all Hell.I don't fist shake about this one anymore.
When it was seemingly going to be the last TNG thing we ever got forever, it was more frustrating.
I get it, 10 years ago me, but it's all right now.
In fact, if I ever re-do "Picard-a-thon" I'll go ahead and throw this one in there.
And, that's those.
"What about Star Trek 5?".
Already covered it.
It totally fits in with the sillier episodes of TOS.
Take it in the intended spirit.
And, that's done.
