Summary: Pretty good "Next Generation" Movie
Review: I'm not sure of the "even sequel" rule (which stresses even-numbered episodes of Trek films as superior to the odd-numbered), but this flick was more entertaining than I would have expected from a "Next Generation" movie (and that's not even counting the horrible "Star Trek: Generations"). In this episode (I meant movie!! I mean it!!!), the Enterprise again confronts the Borg - the implacable alien race of cyborgs committed to "assimilating" every intelligent race it meets (unlucky races find that their members are turned into drones under the command of a "collective conscience" while their technology and everything else about them is appropriated by the Borg). Despite destroying the Borg's ship, Captain Picard quickly realizes that even victory was futile: a Borg shuttle escapes the carnage and journeys back to Earth's pre-Federation past. Halfway through the time-slipstream, the crew of the Enterprise catches a glimpse of their Earth having already been assimilated. Realizing that the Borg have somehow changed history, Captain Picard leads the Enterprise through the rift and discovers that the Borg have journeyed to the moment where mankind achieved "first contact" with intelligent extra-terrestrial life. Historically, the moment came when inventor Zephram Cochrane (James Cromwell) first tested his revolutionary spaceship, one powered by the then unknown warp-drive, and attracted the attention of a passing Vulcan survey vessel. The Enterprise destroys the Borg ship - but the Borg survive somehow manage to invade the ship and begin assimilating it. With his crew reduced and his ship barely under his control in Earth's orbit, Picard leads the remnants of his crew against the Borg infestation. On the ground, an away team meets with Cochrane himself and help him repair his experimental ship - damaged earlier by a Borg attack. I'm no fan of the "Next Generation" but this sequel was a surprise. Jonathan Frakes's direction is tense and captures the fear the Borg inspire and the claustrophobia of the new Enterprise (this was the debut of Enterprise-E). On the downside - the film never becomes more than an exceptional episode of a TV show, as opposed to the more cinematic films of "classic" trek. The crew is inexplicably forthcoming with Dr. Cochrane and other denizens of the "past" - Kirk and company were a lot funnier trying to hide that they were from the future. Also, Dr. Cochrane's mountain base is so remote, he might as well be set in the future himself - there's no frame of reference linking him to Trek's past aside from what the script just tells us. The script also makes a critical mistake with the Borg by giving them a queen. Though Alice Krige vamps sexily as the queen, it undermines the Borg as being a force of nature blind to the destruction they cause - now they're just a bunch of aliens having a technology that can't be stopped, and led by an evil ruler. Also, the basic plot left me scratching my head, if the Borg had achieved time travel, would they really need to conquer Earth? And as logical machines, how would they get past paradoxes of time travel? All in all, still a superior "Next Generation" Effort.

Summary: Great Star Trek movie
Review: This one is probably my favorite of all nine, except maybe for star trek II. The special effects and stuff are very good, but the plot is kinda shallow. If you get this you MUST get it on DVD.

Summary: Mostly perfect.
Review: Someone tell me again WHY they aren't all this good?
What GOES on at Paramount that the every other one is soul-less.
This and Wrath of Khan are by far the best of the entrie string.
Got PLOT, great dialogue, action, humor, its' not missing on any pistons.
Instead of watching the bad ones watch the good ones over again.

Summary: "The line must be drawn here! This far, no farther!"
Review: And the only hope for the federations survival lies upon Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), and "The Next Generation" crew. The sequel to the popular TNG episode "The Best of Both Worlds" has Picard take his revenge on the Borg(a half-organic and half machine race) who once assimulated him into Locutis of Borg. Led by the evil Borg Queen(played by the beautiful Alice Kridge), the Borg plan to assimilate Earth in the late 21st century. This is around the time where Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell) and his assistant Lily Sloan (Alfre Woodard) plan to make the first warp drive experiment leading to first contact with an alien race(well, lets just say its a very special Star Trek moment). While this movie does borrow from some scary sci-fi films like "Aliens" or "The Terminator," it does show that "The Next Generation" can handle the big screen by themselves. A truly great entry in the Star Trek films. Bravo TNG!!!

Summary: An Enjoyable Adventure all round...
Review: This was really the first all-Next Generation film. As ever, Star Trek looks so much more impressive on the big-screen, and with the production values afforded by a film budget. The plot moves fast (somewhat too fast I thought when seeing it for the first time) but is packed with action. This film I think should appeal to fans of good action films who may not particularly watch Star Trek. As such, it doesn't quite have the certain charm of the series that life long fans will be used to, but more than makes up for it with an enjoyable plot, some fairly good character moments (though mostly Picard, Data, and the Guests) and some excellent special effects. This film was made purely for enjoyment, and to appeal to a wide audience, and it acheives that admirably. It's worth buying, and stands up to several viewings over the years. Perhaps because it didn't attempt to acheive as much as its somewhat flawed predecessor (Generations) this film has been so much more enjoyable. Overall, value for money, and very entertaining, Star Trek fan or not!

Summary: Sadly overdone yet underdone at the same time
Review: I purchased this movie after seeing it at the theater.
Like all Star Trek films it just plods along in its story line
and general direction. Its almost predictable. As the old expression goes been there (seen that) done that.
Attention was given toward the Borg and the special effects
but only the beginning and the end of the story is worth its salt.
Paramount NEEDS to get its head out of the sand and stop worrying about the bottom line first which is of course profits.
IF and when they decide to put out a quality script as Star Trek 10 looks like it might be only then will the rest will fall into place. The current staff that presides and oversees Star Trek needs a BIG wake up call.
Bring in the GOOD writers and directors and don't depend on those who lead Star Trek on TV because they're tired and out of any fresh ideas.
If you doubt this then merely look at some of the considered scripts for prior films - most had no business even being submitted let alone serious though at being made.

Summary: Best Star Trek DVD yet
Review: When I went to see this movie, I had no anticipation of seeing so much GORE! Yet,it's still great.
It's got it all. Borg, comedy, sensuality, time-travel, AND DIXON HILL BABY YEAH!
It has that Alfred Hitchock feel, too. Over all, if you like Star Trek, Comedy, Horror, or anything, this movie will be great for [most of] the family!

Summary: Best Star Trek DVD yet
Review: When I saw this movie, I thought "Hey, this ain't Star Trek! THIS IS FREDDY KUEGGUER!" You gotta admit, it's rather gory, but I look back, and it's one of the most Trek-like series ever made! I mean the plot's pretty much like the NG, ain't it? Krige is a haunting Queen, and they brought her back to play her again in "EndGame"! Stewart is a master at being an actor. The rest of the crew, well, I don't no about them. James Cromwell was hilarious as Cochrane, and really changed your view of the man who created warp! I also liked his confederate, Lily Sloan.
