Title: Star Trek V: Most bizarre movie ever?
Post by: freedumb2003b on September 06, 2014, 12:00:29 PM

I am not going to poll and I know most of you have SyFy and may be watching it.

I can live with the bad graphics (was this remastered?) and bad acting (SHATNER!!!!!) but the entire thing is strange and bizarre on so many levels. 

Great, you take "my pain" away (like we only have one) and of course KIRK is immune to the soporific effect.

But I am watching this freak show and can't stop -- it is like a really grisly highway accident?

Or is it just me?

(You can also apply the critique above to the entire last season of Doctor Who).

I forgot to mention...

It is more bizarre than the 1980's "Flash Gordon" AND "Rocky Horror."

And who knew paradise was in New Mexico?

What were they thinking/smoking/drinking?

It isn't that it is is bad (it is), it is like SF "Reefer Madness."

But I have to give them this classic line (thanks, Harlan Ellison): "Excuse me -- why does God need a starship?"
