Summary: Great
Review: I enjoyed the movie by itself and didn't compare it to the other films or any of the TV shows. The tone was "Gladiator"-like and appealing. Although the plot is a rehash, what Star Trek movie or episode isn't? What counts is its execution which with its "Gladiator"-style tone does provide a very refreshing sensation compared to other Star Trek films and closer to later Star Trek shows (late TNG through Enterprise). Heck, there were even some classic Star Trek episodes with a similar tone. I don't believe you have to be a fan to enjoy this movie. You just have to enjoy it.

Summary: It's a poor poor [imitation] of Star Trek II
Review: I liked this movie better when it was Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Techo mumbo jumbo gone overboard......
Review: I am a star trek fan and this movie has so much cheque and usage of techo mumbo jumbo words that it clearly lost the one thing that makes the previous star trek its true stamp of approval, and that is originality. It is acceptable if this movie was made as a typical tv episode but not as a grand final to end the star trek movie serie. Let me tell you some of the scene i find strange.

1) When Data said to Wolf that the arm he was holding appear to be a robotic arm and Wolf said 'very astute'. Now when do you ever see a Klingon (Wolf for that matter) use words like that? Not likely. What Wolf should of said was 'You think?'. That would of been funny and acceptable.

2) When the 'away' team was given coordinate by that ugly remus vice roy that included just about every key member. Why does both Picard and Riker need to beam down? One of them should of stayed on board in case it was a trap. There was no discussion of what would happen if something where to happen to the 'away' team. I suppose the enterprise would be waiting forever because no one would know what to do.

3) The 'shooting' scene with Picard and Data on the Zinatar warbird. How come neither of them got hit in the open? There were more enamies and they were being hit left and right yet neither of the good guys got a single nick. That goes for the 'shooting' scene on the enterprise with Riker and Wolf. Did you see Riker just walk up to that docking hole and just crawl in (in the middle of constant shooting back and forth. You would think he would of got hit. Not only that, it was crazy to even attempt to go thru that hole in the middle of constant fire. He told Wolf to give him cover HA. That is so funny when he said that. The only people that seem to gotton hit are the crew with no names. I find these fighting scenes to be totally unrealistic since none of the main crew got hit other then DATA in the end.

4) DATA sacrifice in the very end because Captain Pikard just froze in the end. What if Data didn't help him in the end? Would that mean everyone in the enterprise would of died? Yes they would, and the blood would of been on Picard's hand because he didn't do anything but froze there in the end. Then again, if he did act, both him and data would of died, so i guess its better to lose one then both.

In the end, i was rooting for the Remus Warbird Zinatar over the Ramulian warbirds since it was the Remus who were being liberated from the cruelty of the Ramulan and i have no respect for them. They seem like good people who's real goal should of been to conquer the Ramulans and make them dig the mines to see how they feel about it. I am for liberating the Rimens.

Do i recomment watching this movie...Yes, if your a diehard 'trekkie' fan. If your not, skip it and watch First Contact, then Insurrection.

Summary: Not the best, but not bad
Review: Die hard Trekers will pick this one to death, but for the casual and steady viewers of Star Trek, this tenth entry of the movie franchise is a pretty good way to kill two hours. The TNG Enterprise 7 return by coming together for the wedding of Commander Will Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi. On route to Betazed for the rest of the nuptuals, the Enterprise is diverted (so what else is new) to the Romulan Neutral Zone to meet with the new Praetor, Shinzon. Turns out that Shinzon is Picard's clone and was supposed to replace Piccard as captain of the Enterprise as a Romulan spy. Before the project really got off the ground, the Romulan government pulled the funding from the project (been there, done that) and exiled the young Shinzon to Remus, the twin world to Romulus. There he was abused in the dilithium mines and vowed to get revenge on both Romulus and Earth. The special effects are spectacular, the acting is typical Trek. As for this being the lowest grossing Trek in franchise history, I blame the geeks that started posting the poison in chat rooms ten minutes after seeing the flick. True, there were some points that could have been scripted better, such as why didn't the fleet come looking for the Enterprise when they didn't pass through the ion cluster in a reasonable amount of time, but I enjoyed this one better than the last, Insurrection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hey, it's Star Trek!
Review: I've read the other ... reviews prior to buying this DVD, and I agree with most every one. I must say that if you are expecting The Matrix or Star Wars, this movie might not be for you. It is, after all, Star Trek - a show known not necessarily for special effects and action scenes, but for the real tug-at-your-heart storylines. I admit that before I went to see the movie, my opinion was already tainted by the movie reviewers, and I also admit that when I first saw this movie in the theatre, I was bored and did not like it one bit. The fact that I was in a non-digital, non-THX moviehouse has a lot to do with it, I'm sure. The picture overall was dark and it was a very unenjoyable experience as far as movies go. With that being said, I take all of that back now with this DVD release. The visuals are stunning, the colors are brilliant, and the acting was up to Next Generation standards. The special effects will blow you away. The plot was suspenseful and very enjoyable. The DVD extras add to the overall experience as expected (Makes me reconsider waiting for the DVD in the future, instead of going to the theatre!) Being a die-hard "Trekkie", I rate this movie four stars instead of five only because I have seen Star Trek TNG episodes on TV that, on occassion, have been better than the movies.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor Trek Franchise gets Cheap!
Review: I saw the movie and it was horrible; I saw the deleted scenes and thought what the hell are they thinking....Who the hell is in charge over there at Paramount....WHo cares if the movie is 3 hours long...Those scenes should have never been deleted....what a mistake they made!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellence
Review: I have been a Star Trek fan for...a long time, and I must say, this is definetly the best installment in the Next Generation movies. Perhaps nothing could measure up to the original movies, but his movie is great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the bonus material is disorganized
Review: This is a really good action packed "star trek movie". The story is really well thought out, and i don't have anything bad to say about it. It could have been a little longer maybe, since it goes by so fast. One thing i did notice is that a lot of star trek stuff lately (including nemesis) deals with "what it means to be human, and 'human qualities'..." Which is one of the climactic statements made in the very first movie when Vger merges with a human to become more than just a machine, which incidentally is what has been going on with data since the very beginning. I am almost sure that there will be another star trek movie, and i hope they choose to go in a new direction with the movie. Some work in the Delta or Gamma quadrants would be nice, and incorporating other characters in a grand scale would really bring in viewers and satisfy the fans. WE'LL just have to wait and see.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A dreadful and sad end.
Review: Like many I am sad to see this great franchise go off into the sunset. But the spark is gone, and the audience has moved on to other things.

I could go on as to how this movie was bloated and uninspired, and how everything in it could easily have been done on the series 10 years ago. But that would be a nitpick..

I guess TNG's time has passed.
The world is for the young.

I'll remember them fondly and perhaps watch it if
I find a good episode while flipping channels. C'est la vie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Eh, What's with all the green?? Could have been better.
Review: This was the worst even-numbered Trek film made. It should have been MUCH better, since it is supposed to be the last STTNG film.

Better space battles, better story, better ending.

The "climactic space battle" was lackluster: Is that the best a Soveriegn class battlecruiser can do?? "We're out of torpedoes"?? Hoo-boy! More ships would have been nice too. I won't spoil the ending, lets just say it made me somewhat upset. I did like the new federation shuttle though.
