Summary: Inconsistent Trek downhill
Review: Since this was the first time I watched a Trek movie in the cinema, I had my hopes up. Good sound and picture would be awaiting me. Well, after finishing the movie that's almost all I got. The story was bad, the bad guy was bad, the inconsistencies were really really bad, the special FX were mediocre. In the FX department it all looked nice but another mano a mano and ship to ship battle was simple too simple. Star Wars overkills in this department but this movie underkills (is that a word :). What were those beach buggies doing there.I could keep going, but you probably read some of the other reviews. It's a repetition of ST2 but without any link to the TNG universe. This movie rates just above the worst TNG episode ever "Shades Of Grey". I am disappointed in the way Trek is going. I've been a fan for many years and I hope Rick Berman gets a kick in the head so his nuts come down. Let's have some balls in the Trek universe and get something new.

Summary: The Only Nemesis is the Lack of Fresh Ideas
Review: Few fans of Star Trek have been more rabid in the adulation of all things in the Star Trek universe than I. What I have noticed is that the various television shows have uniformly showed better acting, scripting, and dialogue than the Star Trek movies have. This is rather surprising since you would expect with the colossal budgets that the film directors and producers have that they could crank out better material than what routinely has appeared on the small screen. Unfortunately, this has rarely been the case and in STAR TREK NEMESIS, the trend toward big screen bores continues. It is almost as if the writers are fearful of leading the Enterprise into any of the novel territory that TNG, DS9, VOYAGER, and ENTERPRISE most often went. Instead, these writers seem content merely to borrow the ideas that proved hits on television, but have forgotten what it was that made these ideas hits in the first place. In NEMESIS, a villain appears (Tom Hardy)who has a grudge against Starfleet (Khan from THE WRATH OF KHAN & Soren from GENERATIONS) and proceeds to show just why he fails to deliver his plans for revenge or conquest. At least Ricardo Montalban (Khan) and Malcolm McDowell (Dr. Soren) had a penchant for allowing the audience to peek under the mask of villainy to identify the underlying motivation that must be there if the audience is to click with that villain. Tom Hardy as Praetor Sinzon comes across as woefully unmotivated. He can't seem to make up his mind whether he wishes to cross swords with Captain Picard or to destroy the earth for the glory of the Romulan Empire. If the former, then the fact that he is a clone of a younger Picard does not in and of itself imbue his character with sufficient motivation to do anything with relation to Picard. If the latter, then he ought to hate the Romulans since they had tormented him for years and should be thus unwilling to cover Romulus with glory. As a villain worthy of boos and hisses, Hardy's Sinjon barely rates a single boo or hiss. He comes across as a peevish schoolboy who seems singularly unsuited to lead a predator race. The Star Trek writers on television had no problem coming up with exciting scripts for the many two part episodes that resonate even today. If NEMESIS had been written as a straight science fiction outer space movie in a non-Star Trek setting, would it have even been made? Possibly part of the problem is that the second generation Star Trek crew is showing their age, just as did Kirk, Spock, and McCoy when they made the leap from the small to the big screen. Unless the writers can refrain from borrowing from a finite bag of used plots, then they might be better off shifting focus to the newest generation of Starfleet, Captain Archer of ENTERPRISE.

Summary: Where is the trailer?
Review: I don't know why Paramount did not include the theatrical trailer of STX:Nemesis while they included a preview of DS9 DVD series...

Summary: Not One of the Best
Review: First of all, the guy who wrote this could not be much of a Next Generation fan. When the duplicate Data is discovered, no mention is made of the possibility that it could be Lor, Data's evil twin brother from the series. Also, what happened to Data's emotion chip? These points could have been brought up later in the film, but I just couldn't sit through the whole thing. The plot was so needlessly complicated(and dull) that I had to go on to more interesting things, like cleaning out my bathtub drain.
The main problem I have with this film, and all the Next Generation movies, is the lack of magic and wonder. Unlike the original Trek, the emphasis is on explosions and fancy light shows. I don't know about most of you, but as far as I'm concerned, expensive special effects get really boring really fast. PS, there are too many humanoid aliens. Enough already!!!

Summary: Not the best
Review: This was not quite what I would call the best Star Trek movie. It is said that they are supposed to be up against the most deadly apponent ever in a Star Trek film. I fail to see this. Jar Jar Binks would have been a more worthy apponent than this guy. This Shinzon fella better be glad that he wasn't up against Kirk, because the movie would've only been about 5 minutes long. Shinzon would've been dead after the first minute, and the last 4 minutes would be Kirk, Spock, and McCoy talking about how much of a joke Shinzon was. There are a number of scenes that (if you're familiar with them) you can tell were taken from the other movies. So to put it plainly, I would call it an average Star Trek movie. But I would recomend "The Voyage Home" or "The Undiscovered Country" over this one any day.

Summary: I just saw the worst Star Trek film ever!
Review: I am so dissapointed with this film... Why was Wesley Crusher at the wedding sitting next to his mother in Star Fleet uniform no less? Everyone who watched the series knows he became something other then human and joined with the traveller. Right off the bat this unexplained cameo had me scratching my head. What was the purpose of the whole dune buggy chase? If B4 (Data's new brother) was supposed to be found by Captain Piccard and company why would these unknown aliens suddenly attack? Who were these aliens? Why did this whole chase resemble something out of Mad Max? Where did the new android come? Why was Data back to his old stoic self? What happened to the emotion chip? Why was he suddenly having problems understanding the human condition again? We all saw him cry for his cat when he found it alive. We all saw him show a big range of emotions in the last few films. The chip is never even mentioned. Geordi does nothing in this film. Beverly does nothing in this film. Worf does nothing in this film (er uh'm he shoots a gun in the dune buggy chase). Riker does nothing in this film. Deana gets mind raped and somehow later uses her telepathic abilites to locate a cloaked Romulan ship, other then that, she does nothing. It's a very poorly thought out Data and Piccard show. Hey Piccard clone.... you need a full tranfusion (of what is never quite explained) from Piccard to stop your accelerated cellular degeneration. Hmmm, here is an idea. Grow another clone, activate the aging correctly (so the problems you have don't occur in it) and then get your transfusion from it. Might be smarter then bring Piccard all the way from the Fereration to kick your butt. I never could quite understand your beef with the Federation anyway. I think you would exact revenge on the Romulans first, then go after Earth. The ships seem to be looking more like Star Wars vehicles and less like Federation ships. The Janeway cameo was really done poorly. Killing off Data was the worst descision ever, even if you did leave him a replacement in B4. Even watching the deleted scenes didn't help this stinker make sense. In fact I think they could have cut much more, at least two hours worth. Oh, yeah, by the way, it's a two hour film.

Summary: Nemesis on DVD
Review: After six months,three viewings in the theater,and sadly seeing it do poorly at the box office,as well as hearing both praise and harsh criticism,Nemesis doesn't seem at all like the same movie I saw Dec 11.
The biggest problem(dispite a knuckle-headed decision to release it between Harry Potter and The Two Towers)was the story itself.The belief that Romulus would be controlled by not only their sub race,The Remans,but also make the Praetor,a human clone of Capt. Picard,As well as the agenda to destroy the Federation.And as much as the TNG movie's try,they are still big screen TV episodes.
Dispite the many gapping plot holes as well as hearing fans rip this movie to shreds(It ranks above Search for Spock and Generations),Nemesis is still an entertaining movie(How could you top the collision scene!!!).

Summary: Good special effects, ok plot.
Review: A lot of action for a Star Trek movie, but not much of a plot. I for one found the Romulans to be too friendly. Last time I watched Star Trek (and granted, that's been awhile) the Romulans were vicious bloodthirsty warriors who took no prisoners. Instead we get Picard offering to buy a female Romulan a drink as they come to the aid of the battered Enterprise? (Hope that little nugget of info didn't ruin anything for anybody) Sorry, just not buying the story. While we're at it, let's throw in a new data android, a vicious new starship which doesn't get used to it's full potential and takes 11 minutes to warm up it's big gun, and a new villain leader of the Romulans ...... who's not even Romulan. He's a humanoid clone? Sorry, too much reaching for a plot here took away from the the fantastic special effects sequence.

Summary: The Finest Hour?
Review: This movie is awesome. In the theaters it "got no respect", but it really deserved it. Upon watching it a few times it really shows that you can watch it again and again, and not be bored and feel compelled to turn it off. The movie's greatness is shown by its selling over a million copies its first week out. It is a great movie with plenty of twists and turns and excellant cinemaography.

Summary: 4 - STAR FILM, 5 - STAR DVD!!!
Review: While "Star Trek - Nemesis" wasn't the BEST in the series (that honor still befalls "Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country"), this one did have some good moments. The new DVD release gives it a fine digital transfer, and a good amount of extras that'll make any "Trek" fan happy! Movie Grade: B+; DVD Grade: A+
