Movie posters used to be simple and dignified , until merchandising department realize that the more sensational the poster , the more just the ticket - buyers . It ’s like the cover of a comic book : You might see an image of Batman riddle with bullets and dead , but that never deal home in the actual story itself . Star Trek has been one of the guiltiest parties in sensationalizing its posters with odd graphics and unusual taglines ( perhaps second only to the James Bond movie posters ) , and we ’ve garner them for you all in one spot in the list below .
Star Trek : The Motion Picture – Okay , it ’s not false advertising to call it a motion movie , is it ? There were indeed pictures in motion in this movie . But , this was part of the trend of calling things “ The Movie ” or “ The Motion Picture . ” Did marketing people recall they needed a title like this so as not to confuse people ? Just demand the family line behind Superman : The Movie . The job with this post-horse , other than boast a triumvirate of Kirk , Spock , and the bald chick from the movie is the tagling “ The Human Adventure Is Just Beginning . ” How is that lawful ? Did we conceive it had come in to an end ?
Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan – No problems with the title , Khan did have a lot of wrath . No , our problem is with the whole “ At the end of the universe lie the beginning of payback ” demarcation . How were they at the ending of the universe of discourse ? Plus , the poster shows the Enterprise firing on the Regula I space place , what the hell is up with that ? “ To hell with science , Spock ! Blow that research station to pieces ! ”
Star Trek III : The Search For Spock – The tagline for this poster is “ Join The hunting . ” Uh , how do we do that ? By buying a motion picture slate ? Actually , our principal trouble with this movie is the title . When did they go search for Spock ? They put the guy ’s dead body into a bomber tube and shot it onto the newly shape Genesis satellite , for the love of god . They kind of roll in the hay where he was . Granted , they later find the tube empty , but it ’s not like there was a massive galaxy - wide search for him .
Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home – Just look at this artwork … is that suppose to be Captain Kirk or Chekov right next to Spock ? Plus , did Spock adjudicate to go extra - heavy on the eyeliner that day ? Plus , check out the text edition on the seldom seen Australian version of the placard : “ They traveled back where twenty-third 100 serviceman had never plump before , to a more crazy , outrageous time : 1986 . ” Yeah , you have intercourse , the Dark Ages had nothing on 1986 .
Star Trek vanadium : The Final Frontier – Check this out “ On June 9 , Adventure And Imagination Will Meet At The Final Frontier . ” Really ? How did that cease up happening ? Unless by “ imagination ” they meant ugly directing , acting , and writing . Ouch . Now , just when you thought things could n’t get worse for this movie … have you picture theteaser poster ? It order “ Why Are They put Seatbelts In dramatics This summertime ? ” Yes , because of Star Trek V. It ’s almost been 20 years , but we still need our money back . Maybe even more so , now .
Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country – “ The Battle For Peace Has Begun , ” was it really a engagement for peace treaty ? You could belike argue that it was . However , we only recollect the Bird of Prey firing dead reckoning at the Enterprise , not the Battlecruiser . perchance they needed something to spice it up a bit . We think General Chang ’s baleful patch was in all likelihood enough . Why overdo it ?
Star Trek Generations – Granted , it ’s strong to find a job with this poster . “ Boldly Go ” ai n’t a bad tagline , so what are we think to say ? “ Um … the Enterprise never flew through a giant Starfleet symbol ! ” Although on thealternate posterthe “ Two Captains . One Destiny ” line is a bit odd . What was that shared fate , exactly ?
Star Trek : First Contact – It ’s hard to work out out why the artists on these posters always make it seem like the faces are glow in . Ever since Star Trek : The Motion Picture , it ’s like they have to be depicted as teleport onto the poster itself . freaky . Anyhow , this poster features the Enterprise racing away from an army of Borg … and into the teleporting faces . Plus , is the Borg Queen blink at us ? We ’re just not certain what ’s go on here , although resistance was definitely not vain .
Star Trek : revolt – The trouble with the tagline on this poster ( “ The Battle For Paradise Has Begun ” ) is that it ’s a direct ripoff of the one for The Undiscovered Country ( “ The Battle For Peace Has Begun ” ) , which was only two film prior . Did they just call it in that mean solar day ? Other than that , we actually kind of like Adhar ’s craggy fount star down at the Enterprise . It ’s just too bad the movie was a bit of a letdown .
Star Trek : Nemesis – Someone please excuse to us how “ A Generation ’s Final Journey Begins ” works out here . Do they intend the Remans ? The crew of the Enterprise who is start to go their disjoined elbow room ? Picard , since he never had a son ? Maybe all of the above … or maybe they meant people who would pay to go see more of these , yikes . The merchandising mass surely loved to have these posters signifying the beginning of something .
