Good old Udemy Elixr/Pheonix courses being irrelevant within 6 months but still trying to con people by saying they're updated to current year.

Somewhere around here I have a "Learn C++ in 24 hours" book that was published in 1999. I have a feeling that a modern C++ expert would react the same way 22nd century McCoy reacted to 20th century medicine in Star Trek IV.
(For you youngsters, I'll-get-around-to-its and nope-not-for-mes who haven't seen it, he mutters things about "dark ages" and "Spanish Inquisition". The whole movie is goofy, including the otherwise terrifying main plot point.)
Upvote for McCoy reference
Would you recommend it? I've seen the wrath of khan, it was alright but tos just can't hold my attention like tng
Absolutely, it might be tied with Galaxy Quest for my favorite Star Trek movie. And even if your tastes lean more towards drama or action than comedy, it's still very close to the top of the list.
It's an even-numbered Star Trek movie. They followed a pattern for a while where they were the good ones and if you were going to skip one, you skipped the odd numbered ones, even the first. Especially the first.
As for recommend, it depends how much you love / know the characters. I grew up on re-runs of the 60s TV show and am pretty sure I saw it for the first time at the cinema. That would have been a couple of years before TNG was even a thing, so my opinion might not mean much even then.
But yeah, sure. Watch it on a grey rainy afternoon with friends or family when you've nothing else to do. Trust me when I say that specific weather outside will definitely add to the experience.
