Star trek and culture

My mom hated star trek and never let me watch it when me and my twin were little.

so many people the world over love it though. both star trek and star wars are classics yet i have never seen either. Where should i start? are they as worth it as people say they are? I dont get a lot of culture references to begin with and if I’m missing a good amount because i dont know these films then i would like to catch up.

and if reading this something pops into your head: what other movies and shows are very prominently referenced in culture? I probably wouldn't know them either

  • Watched the first star trek film recently ,Slow is overstating it ,half the film is the ship docking or kirk staring at something.

    My 16 and 14 year old daughters now use this film as a benchmark to grade awful films only the first superman film has been labelled worst so far .

    I have been told the series are better ,at least shorter anyway.

    I would recommend marvel  films . 

    There are so many classic [not always good] films , 007 films ,Italian job ,trainspotting, and series porridge, the good life,etc

  • Trek 5 is pretty awful too.   I prefer Trek 4 - the 'Carry On Star Trek' film.
