To those who object to the loss of a certain crew member and only mention it to ruin the movie for readers, let me comment that you have totally missed the whole message of the action that the character's voyage towards humanity has finally reached its mark. And if you are stupid enough to think he's dead you obviously didn't understand the importance of the last 2 minutes of the movie and the fact that B-4 is singigng the same song Data sang at the beginning of the movie!I say again, this is probably the BEST Star Trek movie ever made and it will live on as the best for a long time. But to understand the movie and its powerfull message you must open up and see every aspect of it instead of closing yourself off the the actions. This movie is full of intense drama as well as GREAT action and is a must-buy for any sci-fi fan!

Summary: All that it needed was a better director
Review: The good; outstanding visual effects provided by Digital Domain, an engrossing and well thought out story by John Logan, and the acting performances of Patrick Stuart, Brent Spiner, and Tom Hardy (Hardy's portrayal of Shinzon is brilliant!)
The bad; and it's a whopper... Stuart Baird should be making commercials, not feature films. Given his poor track record ("Air Force One" and "U.S. Marshalls" are tedious films) Baird seems to have only read the script when he needed to shoot a scene, disregarding the story. Bairds use (or lack thereof) of the marvelous sets and lighting provided by the ol' TNG group is nothing short of appalling. One only needs to look at the scenes in the Romulan Senate and the bridge of Shinzon's flagship to understand the true lack of talant and vision provided by Baird.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I can't believe that anyone who even remotely likes Star Trek wouldn't like this movie. I will admit that there were times when I though the pacing was a little off, but I went to see a Star Trek movie, not freaking Shakespeare. This movie has one of the best space battle scenes ever, well worth the price of admission. I just wish they would release complete classic and TNG special edition box sets ASAP.

Summary: Good Entry, but some missed opportunities
Review: This film is not nearly as bad as people say. Yes, there may some small problems here and there, but let's try not to nitpick the movie like obsessed nerds. It has its problems, but it also has many high points--if only the script didn't betray them with unoriginality.
There is much to like about this picture, particularly in the realm of character development. There is a real sense that the crew is getting older and moving in, present in the marriage of Riker and Troi and Riker's promotion to captain--such developments add some much needed heart and soul to the franchise (though more were still needed--Picard and Crusher?). The production design and effects are top notch, and the battle scenes feature some of most inventive use of starship action in any Trek film (yes, it's true). Shinzon makes a good villain for Picard, and we even get a Guinan cameo for good measure.
The real problem with the film is that writer John Logan seems more content to blatantly copy "The Wrath of Khan" instead of crafting a new adventure. The Romulan angle is great, but instead of something new and different (possibly featuring Spock of Sela) we get a rehashed "Khan" complete with a personal, indistructable nemesis and the self-sacrifice of a beloved crew member. What's on screen is well done, but there's a sense that we've done it all before (a common Trek-ailment these days). And that, ultimately, is the final word on Nemsis--its an enjoyable movie, but afterward you just can't shake the sense that they missed some real opportunities here, and the movie suffers greatly as a result.
Still, its an enjoyable film, and to suggest its one of the worst Star Trek movies of all time is ludicrous. Trek is not dead, but it will be as long as those in charge keep trying to relive past glories.

Summary: One of the very best!
Review: I am a lifelong Star Tek fan, and I thought this movie was one of the best, if not the very best.
1) It brought in many of the best themes of the other movies, including friendship, obsession, and self-sacrifice.
2) The issue of cloning was very well done in this film. Although Picard's clone was every bit as brilliant and daring as the captain, his environment made a completely different person out of him. Treat even the child with the highest potential with hatred and abuse, and the universe will suffer the consequences when that child is an adult.
3) I liked the way that Data only became truly human in the moment that he destroyed himself, and how he described being human as an attempt to "become more than what he was." I was extremely distraught over Data's death, however, make no mistake.
4) This movie had action and suspense that have been missing in the movies since The Undiscovered Country, and that equal The Wrath of Kahn.
I wish that they had not cut so much out of the movie--it would have been great to see more of the characters besides Data and Picard, although Spiner and Stewart were at their best. Also, it would have been awesome if Picard's new first officer would have been Harry Kim from Voyager.

Summary: The Greatest Star Trek Movie Yet
Review: ...This is a good quality movie with a cast who have been together for ten years. The storyline is very good with all the i's dotted and all the t's crossed. As this is the last Trek movie with the Next Generation cast they had to make sure that every story point over the past 10 years had been tied up nicely. They got Data to reach his humanity by sacrificing himself for his friends as Spock did in Star Trek 2, they got Deanna and Will Riker married (finally!) and they got every-one else to move on with their lives so that they were no longer together on-board the Enterprise.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: A sci-fi masterpiece. I've always found the TV shows to be very limited. The computer system was awkward. They never really fully used the weapons of their ship. While TNG was never bad about it, Voyager and Enterprise have always been filled with errors. This film really isn't. The ship is gorgeous, the technology more realistic for the time period. The plot is quite good, better than Star Wars, in my opinion.
The battle scenes are wonderful. They go all out in this one.
I know that many people do dislike this movie, but if you really read their arguments against it you'll see that they're almost as weak as an episode of Enterprise. Most people complain about how Data dies, but people do die. Get over it. I won't even address all the other complaints I've heard of the movie because almost all of them are nothing but nonsensical ranting. If you do your research, almost everything about this film goes along with Star Trek canon. The Reman planted WAS meantioned in TOS. It WAS stated that there were several prototypes before Data and Lore.
Bottom line: Buy this film. It's excellent and is a worthy addition to the Star Trek franchise.

Summary: Mixed Feelings
Review: I am a huge Star Trek fan. I love every single series and religiously watch episodes over and over again.
But... I think this was the worst Star Trek movie ever made. I had to go and see it twice to make certain I didn't miss something that would give it a shred of respect in my eyes. This is the only Star Trek movie that I won't bother to shell out the cash to own.
If you don't take this movie as a Star Trek movie and just as a sci-fi flick, then sure, it was a B-class movie that might obtain some pseudo-cult status; ...

Summary: Very Disappointing After a Long Wait
Review: I waited in anticipation for this movie because to date, I have loved the Next Generation movies. I was really disappointed. The characters were not themselves . . . not even close in some cases. PLEASE rent the video/DVD before buying it to make sure it is what you want to spend your money on.

Summary: Disappointed Star Trek Fan
Review: First off, I've got to say I'm a huge Star Trek fan. However, this is probably the first ST movie I've ever really been disappointed with. I mean, ok... there was 5 with the god thing and everything, but... I've loved STNG especially. I've never thought they threw up an airbal until this one. I agree with all reviewers about stale ideas, etc... Why didn't Berman ever take the next logical step??? Its like the idiots with the Alien franchise. Why didn't the Aliens ever make it to earth??? Same goes here. Why didn't the Borg make it earth, ala the Wolf 357 tv episode??? Or, if Deep Space 9 was along the same time line, why didn't the Dominion make it to earth??? I know some people will say they did that in First Contact, but that's NOT the same thing, nor is it what First Contact was all about. I just hope they get some new ideas and make better movies. If not, I guess there will always be the hope of a Star Gate SG-1 movie!!!
