Everybody thinks this movie is bad, but it's actually a pretty good movie, although there's no shooting and explosions, though, heads up. The plot is basically all about how Gene Roddenberry is a giant atheist, as a weird space machine named V'Ger is heading towards Earth to talk to "The Creator." You can probably figure out where that one is going.RATING: 76%

I heard someone say Gene intended V'Ger to be the product of the Borg, which, frankly, seems a bit pat to be true.
Was this the one where the computer says "Good morning captain" which we thought was hilarious for some reason?
hrm... yes i also have inside jokes w/ ppl
hey glen you rememmber when we were in that class together and those dudes farted and we both fell out of our chairs b/c of how funny it was... that was p. funny
I have only one real memory from this movie and I'm not sure if I made it up or not. Doesn't it start with a Klingon ship approaching and then getting destroyed by some sort of psychedelic wire frame space anomaly?
As much as I love ST:TOS, I really only ever liked the even numbered films. Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home are both badass and The Undiscovered Country is good (mostly by virtue of not being Part 5).
Quammy: Yes it does.
I like this movie. It's obviously (in my opinion, anyway) trying to do 2001 with the endless shots of going into the cloud which are similar to the stargate sequence. My problem is that the film is rather boring. At least after you've seen it once. Besides that, it is pretty decent. The acting is good, the score is wonderful. But it *is* definitely a Roddenberry story.
I don't think V'ger could've been from the Borg - weren't the Borg originally going to be those insect things from that one TNG episode where they were eating worms and Picard and Riker shot that guys head off? But then they couldn't afford a bunch of insect aliens so they made the Borg instead? Jesus fuck, that's way too nerdy of me.
