Thoughts??

[MarkAndrew]

Well, I've watched/listened to it twice now and I really loved the interaction between Mike, Bill and Kevin.  I still can't quite rank it higher than Daredevil...but that could be because I hate Star Trek.

Excellent work.

Oh happy day, my STVI is here! God bless Netflix! 

[mrbasehart]

Just saw it.  I think perhaps a slight notch down from BE and Daredevil, but still pretty damned great.  I think my favourite riff was "If that vest pops, we're all doomed."

When the president got tackled, I really expected "I work for Dick Jones!"


Overall, it was as good as Star Trek V, and that one had me rolling! *spaaaaaahk*

[eegah]

Our favorite was at the very end when the Enterprise flew into a star and the star blew up. Bill had me and my wife cracking up hard with his comments there.

[PlayMSTie]

That. Was. Hilarious.  (Cool clapping emoticon! This is the perfect chance to use it, too.)

One of the best RiffTraxes ever, if not THE best. I completely lost it when Bones was trying to save the Klingon. "DON'T DIE ON ME, YA ALLIGATOR-HEADED FREAK!" Not to mention "So the solution is to mount him?"

I loved hearing Mike sing 'Highly Illogical'.

Even better than STV, which is surprising considered that STV is by far the worse movie

[Sideswipe]

They got use out of the "Yes bewigged one?" line again, wich never seases to crack me up.

[macleod]

Yeah, though I don't know if I can stomache any more "spock, spock" jokes if they did another one...

Funny yes, but somehow just disturbing after awhile

I'll need to revisit this one again before making my final judgement, but I didn't get as many laughs from this one as I did from STV. I still thought it was funny overall, much better than Battlefield Earth as far as the "all three riffers" ones I've seen. I just thought that a good amount of the retread material on the cast members fell flat. While I have yet to grow tired of the "Spaaaahhhck" riffs for Shatner, I just didn't get many laughs from their return trips to the Scotty / Sulu / Chekhov material.

I'm also getting increasingly irked by the "movie snob" feel that these guys are falling into. While I don't think any Trek movies are cinematic masterpieces, I don't think they are suicide inducing torture sessions either. The repeated bashing of a competent, relatively harmless sci-fi franchise flick just comes across as petty. On more than one occasion I thought "Jesus, get over yourselves you damn self-important twits... it's a freaking TREK movie, what did you expect?". While I did get very annoyed at the proceedings at various points, they always managed to redeem themselves with a consistent pace of truly funny riffs. Overall, I'll give it a 3.5 outta 5.

I'm in agreement with most of what you're saying here, but I think that the difference in quality between STV and STVI is pretty huge, movie-wise.  I can't believe they are in the same franchise together, let alone be right next to each other in the franchise.  STV is turd of a movie, and the bashing of the film itself is warranted.  STVI, in comparison, is a pretty good movie, a competent and exciting sci-fi flick...and simultaneously perfect rifftrax fodder.  I do cringe a little bit when they bash the film itself, and feel they should stick to making fun of the characters, dialogue, sets, etc.  It must be that these guys just don't like Star Trek, period.  Which is fine I guess.

This was a great rifftrax though, I laughed a lot.  And chalk up yet another rifftrax with a shout out to Wisconsin.  I think my favorite riff was when Bones says, "I don't know his anatomy!" and Kevin chimes in with "well what are you fartin' around with him for?!"

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

Something I also noticed is that it seemed like Bill isn't as big as a Star Trek fan as Mike and Kevin are. While Mike and Kevin were making all the hilarious Star Trek references, Bill was making jokes about Uranus. His Scotty impersonation too was a little, eh...

For the next Star Trek movie, if there is one, I would love to see Trace, Kevin, and Mike do it, because it makes it all the more fun when you know that they are real Star Trek fans. Just look at season 5-7 of Mst3k and spot how many Star Trek gags there are.

First, I agree with you 100%. STV is a turd, STVI is competent.

I don't necessarily have an issue with them bashing this or any other movie. I just think it can go from hilarious ("Shatner ruins the franchise!") to cringe-inducing fairly quickly. There just seems to be an air of misplaced self-righteous indignation to a lot of these rifftrax which just isn't funny to me. A lot of these comments are not being played off as a joke, I truly think these guys hate just about every movie they rifftrack. That's all fine and dandy I guess, but I find it ironic that they steer towards movies that "take themselves too seriously" and then turn around and do the exact same thing with their increasingly indignant tone.
