Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: Alright, I heard a bunch of people saying that Star Trek: Insurection dosen't have enough action. They're right! It doesent, but who cares, they don't all have to be about action. This one is more of a dective movie. You'd think that 1 out of nine movies could be dective! And anyway, after they solve the mystery, there is plenty of action. Trust me.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Mr. Spock would call the movies "illogical."
Review: Classic film making, and the Star Trek Next Generation movies are a perfect example of it. Star trek Generations, a great movie to bring in a crew with, I love it. Star trek First Contact, one word, rocks. This film blows away any of the new Star Wars movies(1 and 2). Star Trek Insurrection, it may have gotten bad reviews(go figure) but I loved it. These 3 movies never get old, I watch them over and over again. But before I stop, I would like to say that one of the reviewers said if you had all ready bought the DvDs don't get this...If someone is smart enough to like Star Trek, I don't think there so stupid that they would buy the trilogy again when they had alreay owned it.

Summary: Unimpressed
Review: Don't get me wrong, I love Star Trek just as much as the next Trekker. However, the whole point of DVD's is the added features (in my opinion). This set included VERY LITTLE in the way of features. Woo-hoo I can skip instantly to Kirk's death. The one comfort I take in buying this set is that DVD cases take up less space and weigh less than VHS... I expect better from Paramount.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OUT OF THIS WORLD!!
Review: Gene Roddenberry's visions lives on with these three extraordinary videos. The plot is true to the Star Trek theme and does a nice job of incorporating the "old" and "new" characters. Regardless of if you are a Star Trek fan or not, you will thorouhgly enjoy these movies. If you are a Trekkie, then that makes these choices all the better. Enough Said!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good, Better, and Best.
Review: Generations is what I would consider the good movie in this set. Insurrection is a little better. The best by far is First Contact. Everything about the Borg is creepy - I love them!

If you are looking for a COMPLETE Star Trek movie boxset - I don't recommend this set. However if you simply want to just own the first 3 TNG movies - than this will do the trick. I do think all 3 movies are very well done, which is the reason for 5 stars.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I don't know why it is that the cynical Star Trek fan stereotype rings so true so often, but it is apparent in reading some of the 1 or 2 star reviews given to these movies. I am a huge Star Trek fan and I was greatly pleased with the overall quality of these movies. The concinnity of an elite cast of actors and brilliantly written screenplays are two of the elements that contribute so immensely to the entertainment value of these movies. The Next Generation crew more than lives up to the high standards set by Gene Roddenberry. For those who simply want to be entertained, or for those who seek deep plot lines with intelligent dialogue, these movies are for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for anyone!!!
Review: I really think that people have to move away from the "old Star Trek" and stop thinking your going to get the feeling you did when you watched the "Search for Spock", and the "Wrath of Kahn". This is the NEXT Generation, and I absolutely love their new movies. These three movies are the excellent, which trekers and non-trekers can enjoy. They are all packed with killer action scenes, suspence, awesome special effects, and exciting characters. I just hope that they keep on making these quality movies.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Mostly enjoyable sci-fi, moreso if you're a fan of Star Trek
Review: I slightly prefer The Next Generation crew over the crew of the original series, and the quality of their movies is about on par with the original crew's. As it goes, Star Trek: Generations is a good, solid sci-fi/adventure. It's got some intriguing ideas, tons of stunning visuals and thrilling action sequences (the crash sequence is simply awesome), and a memorable meeting between the present and past captains of the U.S.S Enterprise. It is hampered by a somewhat slow beginning and the obvious plot holes in the climax, but it's atoned for by the poignant death of one of the most beloved characters of Star Trek lore.

It's Star Trek: First Contact that not only firmly settles The Next Generation crew as a force to be reckoned with, it also represents Star Trek at its very best. From the visually mesmerizing opening scene to the heart-pounding conclusion, First Contact is a first-rate, action-packed thrill ride. The Borg make for a genuinely frightening villain, and director Jonathan Frakes nicely pumps the tension up, building suspense scene upon scene. The film's most memorable setpiece, a battle on the ship's hull, is the most exciting sequence of the entire Star Trek series. A must see, even if you're not a Trek fan.

Star Trek: Insurrection, as a follow-up to First Contact, is a massive disappointment. The story simply doesn't hold interest, the conflict is silly and a total bore, and Ru'afo, the movie's villain, is easily the weakest antagonist of the entire series. Lackluster as much of the movie is, there are still several things I'm willing to give it credit for. The special effects are first-rate, the script and cast deliver about a dozen laughs (only The Voyage Home is a funnier entry), and some of the action bits are kind of fun (the shuttlecraft chase), if also rather sparse (it's easily the least action-oriented of The Next Generation films). All those aside, Insurrection is the worst of The Next Generation films.

If Star Trek: Nemesis is truly the crew's final adventure, then it's a disappointment. While certainly not an awful or even particularly bad movie, its relentless mediocrity is still sometimes hard to slog through. The movie tries delivering high-octane action, but unlike First Contact, this is not a thrill ride. Don't get me wrong, there's lots of action here. The car chase is pretty cool, the phaser fights are fast-paced, and the final space battle is by far the most elaborate action sequence of the entire Trek franchise (there's even a spectacular crash scene between two starships). However, the movie is at best, sporadically exciting, and at worst, an uninteresting bore that repeats too many plot elements from its predecessors. Let's hope the Next Generation crew gets one more film to give us a truly memorable cap-off.
