Summary: Well worth your time...
Review: I am definitely not a "Trekkie" in the purest sense of the word. I just dig watching the movies and catching the television shows now and again. I have trouble following some of the sub-plots and other minor references in the films, as I haven't seen all of the televised episodes. However, Nemesis created little difficulty for me in that department. All you need to know is that a cold-war of sorts exists between the Federation and the Romulan Empire. The best part of this film was the dark tone. It does for the Star Trek series what Empire did for Star Wars (but is no means THAT good of a movie). Even the forboding soundtrack deserves note. It really gets you into the mood of the movie, reminding you of the seriousness of Shinzon's coup of the Romulan Empire. Despite all this, the movie does take the time to loosen up a bit with some light humor here and there. It's just always been my belief that to make a sci-fi movie believable, it must be serious more often than campy. Nemesis does just that. If you don't watch this movie for any other reason, check out the starship battles. I was definitely impressed. The special effects are spectacular! Either way, an interesting plot, great action sequences, and something that even a part-time Trek fan can enjoy.

Summary: Not nearly as good as First Contact - Random and Weak
Review: After seeing the latest Star Trek I wish Hollywood would finally put the lame horse to death: and I liked the TV series! This movie yet again focuses on Data, a completely uninteresting character with no personality, and the impressive Jean Luc Picard, who seems to be the only consistantly positive note in all the Star Trek movies only because of the superb acting of Patrik Stewart. This movies weak plot centers around a clone of Jean Luc Picard, raising determinism and free will issues. The clone doesn't seem like a real person but just a sadistic movie villain, evident in the random and pointless sensual scene between the clone and Dana Troi. The ending continues to highlight Data's pursuit to become human in an act of unbelievable utilitarian sacrifice. Unfortunately the tolerable Data is then replaced by a stupid spineless version of the android: no doubt Brent Spinner's attempt to write a more challenging acting role for himself in the sequel.
Previews make this film look like a big action blockbuster, but are decieving.
Lastly there are even more references to former Star Trek movies and shows in this movie which make this movie more like another episode on TV.
Overall a disappointment. First Contact was definately the best Star Trek:TNG movie.

Summary: anamorphic widescreen format
Review: The movie is good, but the only DVD choice is anamorphic and Picard's head gets annoyingly pointy. If I were to purchase it again, I would likely choose the fullscreen edition, even though I hate giving up all the extra images from the edges.
I would hope the folks who release films would give us the choice of preserving the original aspect ratio, with larger black lines at the top and bottom.

Summary: A good ending to the Star Trek series
Review: I am a Star Trek fan, and I am sad to see the Star Trek series come to an end. But this film provides a satisfing end to the series. It wraps up the story very well and gives you something to think about. This is a DVD the entire family will be able to enjoy. Nemesis is just as good as the other movies and can be enjoyed just as much. There are great actions scenes and the movie was very well filmed.

Summary: Where are the 'mini skirts' for female officers?
Review: The thing that kills these movies or series is the lost of imagination on a wide scale. The first thing I notice gone are the 'mini skirts' for women,what happened there? The next thing is there are too many 'under' and 'over' aged people,in these movies and series,there should be a uniform age of 20 to 30 year olds only,what happened there? Another complaint is there are way to many 'aliens', 99.99% of these 'trek movies' should be more humaniod than alien w/ 1% vulcan,the vulcans should be portrayed as more of a 'high tech' and 'militarized' society defeated and occupied by the 'Federation'. The plots should circle around Roman,Greek,or medieval periods of earth history,not this jibberish of nothing plots. Trekers should be able to step on other planets mimicing early earth periods of ancient history,thats what made the early series a hit. And start using plastic model kits to form space ships that look real,not this 'cracker jack' computer graphics advocated by George Lucus.

Summary: DVD Nice, Movie Average
Review: For the most part, the New Generation series of movies have felt like long TV episodes and not major movies and this continues here. The DVD is nice with a sharpe picture and sound and the deleted scenes were fun but the scenes not done were the key to this film's downfall.I think we have waited 15 years or so to see Riker and Troi marry and what do we get...the reception, but no wedding...no Picard doing the ceremony...no Worf frettng under his breathe...no Data head turn as the humans swoon.... We have waited a long time to see Riker get his own ship and what do we get, a nice scene between Picard and Riker but no Captain Riker on his bridge taking the Titan out for his first voyage as Captain. Those are the moments Trekkers would have lived for, but were lacking. The movie is OK, but like the last two, does not have that Major Motion picture feel to it.

Summary: To Boldly Go Where Noone Wants To...
Review: I can't even begin to describe how disappointing this was. TNG will always be my favorite ST and to have it end on this note is truly sad. Finally breaking the tradition of even numbered movies being better - the responsibility of this disaster lies squarely on the shoulders of the director. They might as well have gotten John Woo - after all if you're going to destroy a franchise why not get someone with experience (ie. Mission Impossible II) The cast is still the strongest of the ST franchises and is the only reason this isn't getting a one star review. There's also a nice cameo by Janeway. Pity they couldn't come up with a better script than this. Worst of all the deja vu ending (circa Wrath of Khan) leaves even the non ST fans thinking "Hmm this looks strangely familiar" I have every ST: TNG DVD but I think I'm going to pretend that this didn't happen. Only slightly better than Insurrection. Gene must be turning in his grave.

Summary: Weak -- Very Weak
Review: It's hard to find where to start with this mess of a movie. But I think it is all summed up that when Data dies -- I did not feel a thing. No trace of sadness. Nothing. Nada. When Counselor Troi is crying at the eulogy -- I thought to myself "Pathetic". I felt nothing. I think the Next Generation movies have been a mixed bag just as with the original cast movies -- but even when they missed it was not this bad. We have no idea who the bad guys are -- no idea what makes them formidable -- it's all glossed over. WEAK!! Don't waste your time with this turkey --

Summary: A sad and underwhelming farewell.
Review: I am a huge fan of Star Trek: TNG. The series made for compelling television. The movies, aside from First Contact, have been lackluster and seemingly lost in the mythos that they are trying to portray. Star Trek is about a journey, new horizons, and ultimately, family. Whereas Nemesis adequately protrays the latter element admirably, the rest of the story gets bogged down in continuity issues and lame attempts to squeeze every member of the TNG into every possible camera shot, whether they should be in the scene or not. This is not to say that Nemesis is a bad film, as science-fiction films go. On the contrary, it stands on its own when taken only as a "science-fiction" movie. Star Trek fans want more than that. But knowing that in "All Good Things" Troi actually marries Worf (not to mention that in the Star Trek timeline he was assigned to DS9 AND wound up being an ambassador in All Good Things) it makes the major emotional points of the film pale slightly. We can never invest in the Riker/Troi marriage knowing that it should not actually happen, but nevertheless, it is still a Trek film. Tom Hardy is more than adequate as the sinister Shinzon. And the special effects are very well done. I had just hoped that the beloved crew of the Enterprise had been granted a more graceful sendoff.

Summary: A Generation's final Journey....
Review: I would have to say I am a Star Trek Voyager fan, and I favor the Voyager sereis out of the whole Trek genre. And I also keep up to date with the Next Generation crew and their movies. I would have to say Star Trek Nemesis is a huge improvement over Star Trek First Contact and Star Trek Insurrection. But it did not surprass Star Trek Generations. I do not like how the Borg are depicted in the Next Generation. I always saw them as Janeway's enemy, not Picards, so that's why I was dissapointed in First Contact. Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the film was the cameo appearance of Admiral Janeway (Voyager's former Captain) who gave Captain Picard his orders. This is an enjoyable film, loaded with action. But I would have to say it's time for the Next Generation crew to really move on, and so that's what this film depicted. If they do make another Trek film it should defintely feature a Deep Space Nine crew or the former Voyagers.
