I can understand why. The motivations and message are a bit deeper than WoK. But UC wouldn’t have happened (in the same way) without WoK first, since I don’t think Kirk had the same hatred towards Klingons before. Distrust sure, but not revenge level hate.
UC also has that connection with one of the best TNG episodes, Yesterday’s Enterprise.
Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie
Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.
And Voyage Home
And The Undiscovered Country
Undiscovered Country is my favorite TOS movie, even above The Wrath of Khan.
Undiscovered Country is even better if you watch it in the original Klingon.
taH Pagh taHbe’! That is the question.

Aren’t you thinking of The Search for Spock? I don’t remember any Klingons at all in ST2. Or do you mean that ST3 wouldn’t have happened without ST2?
Lol, yeah, totally right. I guess I strung those two together being they are part of an undeclared trilogy.
I’d put it above all the TNG movies, too.
Good point, at worst it ranks about equally with Galaxy Quest for me … Sigourney Weaver weights my ranking a lot though
I will agree that those two movies have the absolute best soundtracks of all the movies.
7th best.
