Following the release of Section 31, Rolling Stone rates all 14 Trek movies. Hard to argue with the general gist of this one, I'd flip Nemesis and Section 31 as I didn't think it was all bad (hell, I have Insurrection below it), and First Contact above Undiscovered Country (I may have First Contact first after a recent cinematic rewatch but happy to accept Wrath of Khan at one). My only major change is I don't rate either of JJ Abrams' Trek films, I'd have the 2009 reboot way lower.

 
I didn't mind S31, kinda surprised how much hate it's gotten.
It's not BAD... it's just rather pointless and naff. It really is just an over-long episode, with characters you don't know or care about. There's just no reason to recommend watching it.

Yeah it only really works if they do a show off the back of it (well aware it was originally a show compressed into a movie) but as a standalone it's a bit nothing.

Glad some people like it, hope it doesn't spook them from doing similar streaming movies. But the tone feels way off, playing like a Mission Impossible movie, then a slapstick odd squad movie, then an all out action finale punch-on movie. Just never clicked with me. I can see how it might be fun but I just got a little bored.

Clearly hoping to do more films, especially based off that cameo at the end, but not convinced it will after the reception it's received. But who knows, maybe lots of people watched it regardless, the numbers are high, and they do a second movie that's hopefully better.
 
Hopeful this will be good with the crew involved. Plenty of scope with the setting storyline wise. Like to think they aren't going down the young adult/teen drama route.

 
Includes children and civilian spouses. Actual crew would be 700-800.
Still seems like a shit load of people not doing much. The bridge team are the ones responding to every coarse of action that’s required. 1 engineer, 1 teleportation dude and 1 doctor. Not even a nurse?

Must be hundreds of workers with mops cleaning those busy corridors, and cleaning up after Picard’s orgy’s on the holodecks.

Have you watched Lower Decks?

They’re all in the Jeffries tubes.

Minimal crew is about 100 - then you have maintenance and shifts because they operate 24/7. You dont even need a person on the ship as the holo doc has done it before. Voyager had 152 crew total.
