Summary: A quality film
Review: This is one of the most entertaining Sci-Fi films to date. It combines an engaging storyline, interesting charactors, and excellent special effects in one movie. The space battles are amazing! And, unlike several Sci-fi movies, the villian actually seems evil. Trekkies and Sci-fi fans will not be disappointed. Buy this DVD today!

Summary: General Public: Save Your Cash for The Matrix: Reloaded
Review: The dark subject matter in Nemesis is interesting but the storyline is not as developed as I would have hoped &, come on: Romulus & Remus? I would contend that in most cases Gene Roddenberry's naming of worlds & species has been a little too Earth-centric. I realize part of his vision was to get us to be more united & making things familiar is a good way to facilitate that, but I suspect the Romulans would maybe have picked a different name for themselves which would have led to a whole new history for it's "sister planet", Remus. Don't get me started on Vulcans.I would recommend this film for fans to own, but would say to the rest of the world just rent.

Summary: An excellent sci-fi film, as well as for ST enthusiasts
Review: This film is very well composed; the story is at times somewhat subtle and is well worth multiple viewings. At the same time, there's a good amount of humor and suspense. The music is fantastic, the camera work, lighting, costuming, and casting are all excellent. Enjoy!

Summary: I Wanted More...
Review: Star Trek Nemesis isn't a horrible film, and it isn't a great film...it's just...there... If you try to dissect this film too closely, glaring plot holes and plot devices will jump out at you. Why were those Scorpion-class attack fighters on Shinzon's Scimitar? Answer: to get Picard and Data off of the ship. Why not use them against the Enterprise? I would assume that any sane military commander would use all of his available resources to win... Not Shinzon. This is the sort of "fanboy" idiocy you get with a John Logan script. For anyone who wants to know what Star Trek: The Next Generation was really all about, watch the TV episodes. The Next Generation was arguably the most cerebral Trek series ever, though a case can be made for Deep Space Nine and its metaphysical threads. The series never relied on action to carry its stories, and very rarely practiced sloppy storytelling. Instead of building on the events of each film to craft some sort of coherent and thought provoking ongoing series, the Next Generation films have been little more than one-shot TV episodes - with Nemesis barely beating out Insurrection for third best Next Generation film, First Contact and Generations are my personal favorites. If you want to see Patrick Stewart play Captain Picard as an intelligent, charming and witty explorer/diplomat, watch the TV series. To see Picard the action hero, pop Nemesis into your trusty ol' DVD player. I can only hope that a true ending to this great TV series will eventually surface. Michael Piller, Ira Steven Behr and Ronald D. Moore, please come back!

Summary: The best Star Trek I have ever seen!
Review: Nemesis was the best Trek I have seen. I think it really showed the true power of the Enterprise-E how it can recover from large problems. "set a course for earth max. warp...engage!"

Summary: It Seemed Recycled
Review: Does anyone remember the good old days of Star Trek movies? I mean the good ones 2,3,4,6, Generations, and First Contact. Good movies. Entertaining movies that would keep you in your seat for however long the movie was. What the hell happend? The last two movies have been disappointing to say the least. But I'm only going to complain about this one. Odds are if you are on line looking at this movie to see when it comes out, you have already seen it, so I wont go into the plot. My question to people who saw this movie, and all the other Trek films is, did it seem like they were stealing ideas from other Trek films?
For example the dramatic battle at the end, where the Enterprise is fighting a cloaked ship. Did that remind anyone of Star Trek 6? Or when Riker kicks the guy off of the bridge because the bad guy has a hold of Riker's foot(Star Trek 3). If you say, I have had enough of you (also Star Trek 3) while he is kicking, it fits perfectly. Now the big one. Data dies to save the crew of the Enterprise from a horrible death. That should remind people of SPOCK! And then, it looks like he could come back, because B-4 (the mentally ill robot) sings Blue Skies (which is the song Data sang at the wedding of Troy and Riker) it seems very similar to Star Trek 2, because it leaves you with hope. Mr. Berman if you read this, please do something orriginal next time. Oh by the way, I saw it three times.

Summary: The "darker" films take Trek where no one has gone before
Review: The darker Treks are by far the most superior of Star Trek. When I look at these types of Trek I usually see what Trek should have been on TNG (on TV), Voyager, and Enterprise could have been and should be. These "dark Treks" are Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, parts of Star Trek Generations, Star Trek First Contact and the subject of this review Star Trek Nemesis. While Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is hands-down the best Star Trek television show, Nemesis is almost the best film and the reason is that the producers took steps to go beyond the normal realms of television and family values. Deep Space Nine dealt with necessary evils, war, and realistic relationships, which include loss, and all the relationships had balance (like Kira and Odo...we know what happened!!! Can't be said about Worf and Troi in TNG). First Contact gave us realistic violence and touching issues. In TNG or Voyager, we usually saw our main characters misplaced in the past or future (and DS9 too) but in First Contact we get that "human" feeling of being lost and being thrust in a future universe. Nemesis, if not for intense cutting, would have been perhaps the most realistic, dark, and fascinating of the Star Trek films. What we are left with is almost on par with VI and First Contact (while none of the films can touch DS9) and is great entertainment despite what Trek fans know is not released.
When I look at the DVD I see that the special features contain deleted scenes but what is truly lacking here (and I can say this though the release isn't for 18 days) is a "extended cut" of sorts (like the LOTR packages) in which all the deleted scenes are added into the film. This would make Nemesis the strongest Trek film ever. Some of the scenes cut are Data and Picard drinking wine, Crusher dancing, and explanations to why Wesley Crusher is at the wedding.
I will admit that a lot of Nemesis and TNG lore in general is lacking. Troi and Riker have had a lot of build up but there have been so many holes in their relationship that the wedding seems inconclusive and unsatisfying. I also feel that Nemesis should have taken a DS9 approach with its characters by letting some of them go. Worf and Troi I could live without. I think Worf ended perfectly in DS9 by becoming an ambassador...but wait! he's back in Starfleet uniform. Just another large hole in the TNG plotlines. Besides, he has become the Gimli of TNG by providing old jokes and repetitive humor. One of the best things about the last season of TNG was Riker and Worf became very good friends but that diminished quick. What about Riker's ship... 'naw', said Berman, 'lets not bother showing it. I'm sure we'll make millions!' Millions less my friend! I digress. Nemesis is the victim of its own producing. They managed to produce a solid two-hour film but a fantastic film lie in its extra footage room. Beverly Crusher has always been a consistent companion to Picard and Ms. Gates has great chemistry with Mr. Stewart. There is one beautiful scene that had a lot of potential but is quickly forgotten as further scenes take it over.
The truly fascinating thing about Nemesis is its villain. Next to all the movie villains, V'ger, Khan, Kruge, the God-thing from V, Chang, Soran, Borg Queen, and Ru'afo, Shinzon is perhaps the greatest of them all, and I expect a lynching for this, especially from Khan fans. But truthfully, what makes Nemesis great is that Picard finally meets someone who is his match. Picard always looks confused and taken aback by Shinzon when with every other villain from Q to the Borg, he can remain calm and defeat them with swagger. Hardy's Shinzon is amazingly captivating and though may be physically weaker then half the Enterprise-crew, it is his Picard like thinking and cockiness (from Picard's Academy days) that make him so threatening. Hardy and Stewart are amazing to watch. They shine with speeches of humanity, good, and evil. Though Nemesis is extremely action-oriented, the talking between Shinzon and Picard is the most captivating. Hardy is a great final nemesis for Picard. It is only fitting that Picard's final battle is against himself (essentially). All the characters endings are fitting except maybe Data's and if you haven't seen the movie I won't blow it for you but let's just say that Data's "brother" B-4 is a script saver just in case another film comes up, though the chances of that are slight. Riker gets one last fight, Worf gets one last fight, Geordi gets a very limited but special moment with his best friend Data, and even Troi gets to do something. That leaves out Crusher but what did the writers give her to do lately anyways. I see Nemesis as a fitting end to TNG that could have been better but still good in its own right though there are many holes and misplaced things due to editing that make the Trek fan and a casual viewer wonder, 'I wonder if Nemesis has more to offer'. The DVD might release some of that extra stuff but just like the Gladiator DVD, the deleted scenes could have made the movie thirty times better (at least from word of mouth for Nemesis) but the films themselves manage to stay on solid ground without the help of their wordy cut-backs.

Summary: everything a star trek fan wants!
Review: great acting, great writing, great special effects--this sums up star trek nemesis, one of the top 3 or 4 star trek films in the series. without betraying the spirit of trek, this outing brings a refreshing darker, edgier tone to the trek universe moreso than the previous films.
AND,...as with all great trek (or any) film's keystone hallmark, this film has a FORMIDABLE and sinisterly devised villain--3-dimensional, at times pitiable, but mostly scary and nefarious...a most worthy adversary for picard and crew; this film lives up to its name!
the cast is seamless in their roles, while writer john ("gladiator")logan shows his encyclopedic knowledge of all incarnations of star trek--look for several written and visual references all trek fans will love--including several welcome cameos. WRITE ANOTHER ONE MR LOGAN!!
