Summary: it's time to hang it up
Review: this latest (and hopefully last) trek entry proves this franchise has run out of breath. the meager box office returns indicate the mass audience is in agreement. not an ounce of originality here. we have a very tired plot ( a tad bit too much like the 'long ago' second one) and even the little side bits are stale (how many times have we seen those faulty shields. a century later, i mean, are they ever going to get them fixed?).
paramount has overkilled the whole trek thing with too many mediocre movies and too many series (what is it 5 now?). the original tv series, even with it's too qick decline and below par special affects, had a certain charm to it. that is long gone and trek, like the new star wars films, is simply stale, and no longer fun.

Summary: Takes a while to warm up
Review: but when it finally hits you it's like Wrath of Kahn with better acting, and special effects. The early scenes were annoyingly untouching though, and some of the deleted scenes should certainly have stayed in. There was also a deleted scene I read about in an interview with Brent Spiner where Data was teaching his "brother" table manners, that should have been included.

Summary: Nemesis plays well on TV, despite its flaws....
Review: Star Trek: Nemesis, the 10th (and possibly final) feature film based on Gene Roddenberry's seminal science fiction TV franchise, isn't as bad a Trek film as some would lead one to believe. Sure, it isn't as good or satisfying as Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, but then again that film had Nicholas Meyer at the helm, which gave the Original Series' cast a worthy farewell.Noted film editor-turned-director Stuart Baird isn't Nick Meyer, who gave his two Trek chapters its clever mix of Horatio-Hornblower-in-the-stars, literary allusions (Dickens and Melville in The Wrath of Khan and Shakespeare in The Undiscovered Country) and some outsider's irreverence to counter the first, flawed Star Trek film's pondering pretentions of grandeur. But as a Trek outsider, Baird attempts to tell a dramatic tale which pits Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the Enterprise-E crew against Shimzon (Tom Hardy), a human who has been a slave on the Romulans' sister planet Remus and has become Praetor of the Romulan Empire in a deadly coup d'etat. Cunning, ruthless and brimming with resentment, Shimzon is not only a fierce warrior and a veteran of the Dominion War, he's also Picard's clone. For all its perceived flaws, Nemesis somehow plays better on the small screen than it does in the multiplex. It feels more natural watching this at home on a DVD player; screenwriter John Logan is an admitted Star Trek fan and blended elements from Star Trek II (which this movie's plot bears a similarity to in various respects) with an above-average Data-and-Picard episode from The Next Generation. After all, Nemesis revolves around Picard and Data (Brent Spiner, who, with Logan and producer Rick Berman, co-wrote the story); each finds a mirror image of himself -- Picard/Shimzon and Data discovers his flawed prototype B-4 -- and each is forced to deal with his "evil" twin. At the heart of the story, Nemesis is also about family and the many transitions families go through in life. We first see the Enterprise family celebrating the long-awaited "conjugation" between Cmdr. William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and ship's Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), who, like children leaving home for college, are leaving the Enterprise for the USS Titan, Riker's first command. We follow the crew on this final trek across the stars, only to watch as they mourn the loss of a cherished comrade. Star Trek: Nemesis' special effects are excellent, and Baird's experience as both an editor (Superman: The Movie) and director gives the action sequences a kinetic energy absent from the previous film, Insurrection. The score by noted composer Jerry Goldsmith is also outstanding. (Brent Spiner fans who know the actor is also a gifted singer should find his rendition of Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies" as a very enjoyable bonus.) The Paramount Widescreen Collection DVD is above average considering it's not a 2-disc "Collector's Edition." It not only has a crisp digital transfer and clear sound, but it has audio commentary by Baird, deleted scenes and a handful of "making-of" documentaries.

Summary: One of the greatest trek movies
Review: This film has haunting music, great special effects, and terrific themes. The DVD has incredible extras. It could be the last TNG movie, but the door is open for sequels and crossovers with other Trek series. There is also a lot of character development. A must have for anyone who likes action movies.

Summary: Weakest Entry Since "V"
Review: I really wanted to like this last (apparently) of the Star Trek films. This version is dark and forboding. The aging main actors give forced, creaky performances. It's time for a newer, next generation--hopefully to debut someday on TV. Paramount?

Summary: Only for Star Trek fans
Review: I am not a follower of the ST movies, so I found this movie to be rather boreing. Too much talking and the major fight sceen at the end was the typical, my battleship vs. your battleship situation. Nice movie to rent, but if your not a fan...then don't buy it.

Summary: OUCH!
Review: My God... what were they thinking? I used to be a big Star Trek fan... and still am, in some ways. I love the new series. However, I think the next generation has overstayed its welcome. That was clear to me with the dreadful Insurection, but is made abundantly clear by Nemesis. The only good thing I can say about it is that it isn't as bad as its predecessor. The story is laughable, Picard's clone ruling the Romulan Empire. The plot-twists, if they can even be called that, are predictable and downright ridiculous at times. Not worth your money....not worth your time.
The verdict? Only see this if you're a REAL trekkie, otherwise it is a complete waste of time. What annoyed me most is that they contradict themselves... The least they could have done is do their research, Deanna Troy marrying Will Ryker? That's not what happened in the final episode of the series. If you ask me, I think they should have stopped making next generation films when the superb Voyager stopped being made, they should have switched to films about that instead.

Summary: Must be made as a two disk set.
Review: Well with all of the Star Trek movies now being rereleased as two disk sets, I think it's only a matter of time before this one is also released as a two disk set. Maybe by then, we will know if Paramount will be making more Star Trek movies. Paramount can make a good Star Trek movie, where as Warner Brothers can not make either a good Batman or Superman film...

Summary: Star TrEk
Review: It's a great movie. The specil effects, characters, and the plot was excellent. The whole Idea of a weapon that can destroy a planet is unthinkible. Captain Picard and his crew go out to save the day, but at a large cost. Our beloved Commander Data bit the dust. I never knew that Star Trek could be emotional. All in all, if ya didn't like it . . . Go to hell!!!!

Summary: The end of an era?
Review: Yes, I did give this movie five stars. And considering all of the bad reviews I have read, I will probably be taken to task for it. So let me start by saying that I am, at heart, an unabashed "Star Trek: The Next Generation" fan. I have been a fan of TNG since I started watching the TV series towards the end of the first season, and it would take quite a bit for me to be offended, dismayed, or even truly disappointed with the series. That being said, I also have to state that this movie is far from perfect. But I'll get to that in a moment. "Star Trek - Nemesis" is somewhat of an update of the original series "Wrath of Khan" movie. There are many similarities between the two. Considering that the previous movie is deemed by most Star Trek fans to be the best of the movie franchise, it is understandable why many were unhappy with this latest effort. However, there are differences. And it is these differences that set the movie apart, in my opinion, from its predecessor. Answering the Romulans latest call for peace, Captain Picard comes face to face with his clone, Shinzon. While Captain Picard has had a life full of opportunity, Shinzon has had a life full of slavery. These two men, identical DNA wise, have paved out different paths for their lives. Jealous, Shinzon has set out to destroy Picard first, and all of Earth second. "Nemesis" was made with the thought that it would be the final TNG movie (signing of the cast has been more and more difficult with each movie). As a result, the intention was to bring some closure to the cast of caracters. (Basically, it was made for TNG fans only. Non-TNG fans will not like this movie, as they will be lost from the very beginning.) While their intentions were good, someone was obviously asleep at the wheel during the writing and shooting of this storyline. The biggest story goof was with Wesley Crusher and Worf. Would someone please explain to me why they were wearing Starfleet uniforms? Wesley dropped out of Starfleet during season 7 to learn from the Traveler, while Worf left Starfleet to help with the rebuilding of the Klingon homeworld at the end of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." At no time during the movie were explanations given about this. To non-fans, this may seem petty, but to fans continuity has always been one of the shows biggest strengths. As I stated at the beginning, I am an unabashed TNG fan. And overall, I believe "Nemesis" to be a fitting send-off for this crew.
