Summary: Better than the last film, not as good as First Contact
Review: Well.... Data is starting to show his age, even though he's an unaging android. His skin has wrinkles, ...As for the movie.. well it's got substance. Some of the acting seems forced, especially the Romulans. Picard's nemesis 'Shizone' (sp?) is a good actor, thankfully. His alien friends though seem typical of Trekkie aliens; cannon fodder! Reiker's acting is subpar. But that's okay because the only actors that get any significant amount of screen time are Data, Picard, and Shizone. Everyone else only show up for a few minutes here and there. Picard's acting is spot on. Data is great as well.
For the first twenty minutes the movie seems rushed to setup the stage. Even Captain Janeway appears and suddenly Picard meets his old friend from Voyager (the acting here seems forced), ... The whole stage setup is very forced, but the acting saves it all. Some of the battles with the Romulan vessels and the Scimitar seem forced but do provide some needed action entertainment. It seems that ever since the Enterprise E entered the fleet it's been demolished, smashed up, taken apart. It never seems to be the formidable war machine that is was made to be. The Romulans new ships are bigger than it. Same with Scimitar!
Oh well... The good points of the movie are Picard and Data's acting, as well as Shizone's. Their is excitment that channels the film to it's end. So it is a pretty good film. It's just that a lot of it seems forced. Hopefully we can expect a good Deep Space Nine movie, next time.

Summary: Unlike others, I've SEEN this disappointment.
Review: I thought the trailer looked good but unfortunately, our faith in John Logan (Gladiator) was misplaced. I feel sorry for the cast of this film in that they all look so very very tired and worn. It's been three years since the last film yet they look as if they've aged six. I was really hoping that this would be a nice solid film but it's the Next Gen cast trying to be the old cast and it doesn't work, it's boring and it may rank as one of the worst. The previous film, insurrection may ultimately have more going for it this was so ....lame. Time for the film franchise to either get the DS9 team taking over or just call it quits. -Rick Lundeen

Summary: I have seen the movie and I won't give anything away.
Review: I am a lifelong Star Trek fan and I think that this is the best NextGen movie other than First Contact.The only criticism I have of this movie is that it is way too BIG! There are enough big events and big moments in this show to make two good movies. John Logan said in TV Guide that there is 50 minutes of edited footage that was cut from the movie in order to get it under two hours. I think the lost 50 minutes hurts the movie. They should have made two movies with this story or left in some footage. Let's not forget that Attack of the Clones was nearly two and a half hours long.I did like the movie, and I hope they make another. Logan and Stuart Baird seem to be a good combination, but I would get another editor. The action scenes were frequent but seemed over nearly before they began. On the plus side, the humor in the movie was very natural and was in character.I would rate the movie a solid B. Does not flow as well as First Contact but way better than Insurrection or Generations.

Summary: Not Too Shabby
Review: When I first saw the theatrical trailer for this film, it surprised me greatly; It looked like the "Star Trek" equivalent of "Attack of the Clones", only with better-looking performances. However, when I saw the movie (on opening day because I'm a geek..heh), I was a little startled to find that the action that is shown in the commercials and trailers are actually the only action scenes in the film. This time around, Captain Picard and his gallant crew stand around and talk a lot.
Now, had I known this before I saw the movie, I would not have been so disappointed on opening day, hoping for the Next Generation crew to transport me into a world of intrigue and non-stop excitement. Instead, we are actually presented with a richer storyline, and some surprisingly strong performances, most notably from Tom Hardy as the evil Shinzon (I think I spelled his name right). This time around, we are actually presented with multi-dimentional characters as opposed to the rather 2-D, rather boring villains of the previous movie. Now that what I saw has really had time to sink-into my psyche, I can honestly say that "Nemesis" is really one of the better, if not one of the best "Star Trek" movies you'll see. However, this movie does seem to be a bit odd at times, mostly with the editing and pacing of the film. Even with its grander scale, the movie still races along like a television episode, and the characters seem to be trying to shove as much info and dialogue into a small amount of time, almost as if they're anticipating a commercial break. This movie is cut to move fast, which seems to work against it, rather than for it. Longer pauses, stronger beats -- these are what separate film from television, and the filmmakers seemed to be unaware of this...but that's just me ranting as a film student in college, pretending I know what I'm talking about. All in all, this movie really seems to be a success, finally portraying progress in the lives of the Next Generation crew. This succeeds in elevating the film to a new level. It's just a shame that it won't make any money, what with the second Lord of the Rings film being released a week later. Gee. Smart move Paramount. So, go see the movie and hopefully you will be captivated by the Next Generation crew finally being the explorers and adventurers they were long, long ago.

Summary: Just saw it, here are my thoughts...
Review: One of the more signifigant things I liked about this Star Trek move is how it is self-containied. A non-fan could actually watch this movie and still enjoy it, while the hard core fans of the series will find plenty of suttle references. For example, key characters have been promoted and other cast members who made their apparent final exit in the TV series are back without explination. I let this slide, because I believe the intent of the creative team was to not waste screen time explaining away things only to appease the hardcore fans, they wanted it to be just a good sci-fi movie. The second thing that that really sets Nemesis apart from the other Trek films is its pace, Nemesis is very much an action film from start to finish, it moves very fast. That's a good thing, because many Trek films are slow and boring (only pleasing the hard core fans). I'm being careful not to give any plot details away, but the story-line is interesting, in the action scenes we see a lot of things never seen before in Star Trek. The only flaw here is lack of character development, and for the hard core fans, a Trek film being reduced to a generic sci-fi action movie, but a good one no less.

Summary: The Best Star Trek yet!
Review: Yes, that is right. This film ranks with the best and may even surpass. I was completely entertained the entire time. This film shows how good Star Trek can be. Too many of the films and episodes for that matter do not have enough Star in the Trek. I don't think that the cast or the ship itself have ever looked better. We also get a villian that ranks right below Kahn in substance. Without giving up the plot I can say that there is a great twist involving Picard and the Remen leader who now rules the Romulan Empire. The battle scenes in space are the best I've seen in Star Trek. The ship can finally take more than one or two shots but not too many to be unbelievable. The manouvering and tactics in the scene have not been seen since Wrath of Kahn. The film also ends with an unexpected loss. I loved this film and highly recommend it!

Summary: If it's TNG you want, TNG is what you'll get!!!
Review: It's good, go check it out. It hold's true to the TNG (The Next Generation) formula. An Evil force of some form takes on the Federation, and our "Enterprising" heroes move in to stop them! Accompanying the main plot is a sub-plot, usually less exciting, and mostly dedicated to character building. Nemesis fills in the blanks very well.
There is enough new Star Trek technologies, character drama, and battles to satisfy your average USA human. But this may not be a good thing. Some trekkies want to see the old Star Trek formula tilt on its axis. Perhaps a story about the Dominion wars, or even the Cardassian conflict; with blood, battle and heroism. This should replentish software trekkies with new technologies and FX. Certainly filling in some of those wide open spaces in the Star Trek time line might satisfy some folks.
Nemesis is worth your money. But I only gave the film 4 stars. Why? Well, If you ask a software trekkie, Hollywood really has to work hard to make the shows and films with cutting edge special effects. It must be visually spectatular to "stay par" with todays' home PC game graphics and mods.
It was good to see more Romulans, and the Remans, a horrid caste of the Romulan Empire. Nemesis rates somewhere towards "First Contact" with respect to the other TNG movies.

Summary: A keeper
Review: I loved this film on many levels. For the first few minutes, I was MST3King it. (Hey, isn't that the same barren planetscape we saw on Galaxy Quest?) Then I was swept up into Riker and Troi's happiness, as they finally were able to be in love without duty and circumstance keeping them apart. Then on to the philosophical questions. (If you download Data's neural patterns into an identical android, is he now Data also?) Throw in a plot involving Romulans, an ethical dilemma, and a good space battle, and you have a classic Trek film. The pacing was slow in places, which I found to be a strength rather than a weakness: it allowed me time to ponder the philosophical questions. The one weakness was the villain's disappointing lack of depth. The main strength of the film, by far, is that the Enterprise crew are so convincingly real. These are the characters we have come to know so well. We have watched them mature, have seen the bonds of their friendship deepen, and have come to care for them deeply ourselves. I will watch this film again and again, and hope for many more like it.

Summary: Nemesis
Review: I just went to see the new Star Trek movie and I must say I was shocked at how great the movie was. The movie is emotional, very emotional. I wrote this originally one day after I saw it and it still one week later sends shockwaves through my body. This movie is probably the last one for TNG, given its low box-office earnings. I think that it is impossible to have a just DS9-cast movie or a Voyager-cast movie. So Paramount has some decisions to be made. However, with the debacle that is Enterprise, I doubt that will make it. Back to the movie, I have seen major movies this year, including Lord of the Rings, and while Towers was good, it didn't affect me as Nemesis did both morally and emotionally. We, as Trek fans, have truly been immune to a death of major characters. This is a rude awakening as well as inspiring because it would have made Gene Roddenberry proud. I give this five stars and for all you naysayers out there, stop overanalizing Trek movies and see them for their entertainment value.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Just saw it and I think it was great. Data will always be my hero. NextGen crew rocks. Good battle scenes, too.
