SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

cafevincent I found Voyager to be the only watchable Star Trek. The Original series is so old these days it's completely unwatchable for someone like me. The Next generation may be the perfect example of how diplomacy should work in our future but it doesn't offer very exiting conflict for storytelling. I seem to recall half of those stories begin with "we received a distress call" and "now orbiting this place" and end with successful negotiations of some sort. Beyond boring. I never liked Deep Space Nine either, it just seemed like a horrible idea to anchor the show to a single location, seemed like a soap series in space to me. Enterprise was filled to the brim with horrible actors and had no replay value. Voyager to the rescue!First of all, apart from the first 2-3 seasons, the stories have a lot more cinematic quality to them. I think it's the writing. The stories often begin in the middle of a situation and starts to unravel. This is good since the scripts seem to be so full of things happening they had to get creative in order to fit the story into a single episode. So no more boredom. It's pretty much the opposite of TNG.Not only that but the whole premise of being stranded in an unknown area of the galaxy for me is a much better set up for a series than policing around an established area. This should be the best trek for this reason alone.Third, the cast is the most interesting so far. I loved the captain for having more balls than Picard, I loved Paris for being a relateable criminal, I loved the doctor and Seven for their artificial nature, I even loved Nelix and Tuvok. The cast had a good family dynamic. This gave way for some good, naturally whimsical, subtle humor that really was the cherry on top for me.So to sum up Voyager had a good premise, good casting, good stories. The only downside to this show are the first 2-3 seasons which are just as bad as the other Trek shows so I highly recommend searching for a skip list to at least weed out the bad non-storyarch episodes to get you to the end of season 3 as fast as possible. It's an absolute thrill ride after that, you'll thank me later.

keelhaul-80856 I am not much of a Trek fan, or at least I wasn't. As a kid, I saw some episodes of Next Generation or the Shatner original, but I thought it was lame. Oddly enough, it would be Voyager that brought me somewhat into the Trek universe. Having very few channels to watch as a young teen, I was able to pick up UPN with rabbit ears, where I had to make due with whatever was on the tube. I got caught up in Voyager and found that it wasn't that bad. Looking back now, as I re-watch the series in 2017, I see how painfully corny and low-budget it must seem, but at the time, in the glorious 90s, it was pretty entertaining TV. Many people find glaring problems with this installment, and I can understand their outrage at Maquis sailors wearing Federation gear and the ship never running out of items or looking worn. I have also thought of this over the years. They used more torpedoes than they had when stranded, etc. The dialogue= LOL= Man, is it cheesy. I definitely have to laugh at the scripts. "Hi, I am having a nice day." "Me too; I need Neelix to bring me some pork chops"-- The talking was extremely childish and one-dimensional, as if written for a baby cartoon at times. Yet, it could also take off in more dramatic fashion when addressing a serious problem with a new race or Janeway's conferences on a problem, or Tuvok or the doctor posing great logic or intriguing questions.Overall, it really depends on the episode you happen to catch. I notice, even now, that one episode will be boring, filler, redundant stuff about time or space(filled with technology babble and fake words), while the very next episode may be truly interesting and exciting, featuring newly encountered races or villains, or serious fighting, or genocide, etc. To me, those are the best Voyager episodes-- where they actually interact with other species or discover treachery among "friends" or deliberate over the prime directive while trying to solve a problem with some strange world, or battle pirates or deal with the Borg. The larger philosophical question episodes are what makes Star Trek appealing-- not so much the mindless "smarty" tech words and stories about a fracture in the space time consortium transition doohickey that messed up everyone's memory or whatnot. I guess this one is a guilty pleasure from my childhood or teen years, so it will always be one of the installments I know better than others. It has a lot of cheesy issues, but for space stuff, it has enough redeeming qualities to remain watchable.

fritzb-73059 I've never been able to understand why a person would watch an entire seven year series, hating it all the way. Option: Turn the channel. You've got nothing to lose. It's not like in the theater where one might sit through a tepid movie because they paid admission. Voyager was free. Take it or leave it.Personally, I enjoyed the show. I liked the plot, the cast, and most of the story lines. I appreciated the mix of drama and action. Voyager, in my opinion, was a very good program. Had I not felt good about it... I would have turned it off. Problem solved.Not every series is going to be a masterpiece. Not everyone is going to like every show. If it's your cup of tea, drink it. If not, put the cup down.

alexanderdavies-99382 By the time this "Star Trek" shows was unveiled, creativity had pretty much come to an end.The premise is OK but I feel "Star Trek Voyager" is rather samey and pedestrian. No progress seems to be made in the characters returning home.Kate Mulgrew is good, as is the holographic Doctor (an interesting character) but the rest of the cast don't convince me.
