It made fun of Trek fandom but the fans failed to notice.

[grabtharshammer@lemmy.world]

Yep, that was a good movie.

[state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de]

It still is a good movie.

It made fun of Trek fandom but the fans agreed and laughed along.

but the fans failed to notice

Why do you think this?

[ilinamorato@lemmy.world]

It's been on Trek fandom lists of best movies because the fans noticed.

Trek fans prior to 2010-ish tended to not take themselves too seriously. They took the show seriously, sure (maybe too seriously) but not themselves.

Miners, not minors!

That was a hell of a thing.

By Grabthar's hammer…what a savings.

So many good quotes in this movie! I could go on and on and on

I still say it's the best Trek movie ever made.

[usernamefactory@lemmy.ca]

Yup. We also laughed at Shatner’s get a life sketch, and dozens of gags from Futurama and Family Guy.

The ways humans engage with their personal fascinations are often inherently ridiculous, and everybody ought to be able to laugh at that.

Unironically this movie is in my top 5 favorite trek movies. It counts.
