Summary: A superb film
Review: Proving once again that STAR TREK works best when paying homage to Moby-Dick, as in THE WRATH OF KHAN (or, maybe I should include whales of all kinds, since THE VOYAGE HOME was so good), FIRST CONTACT is about as good as a STAR TREK film can be. A talented supporting cast, including James Cromwell and Alfre Woodard, work seamlessly with the television cast.Cameos from NEXT GENERATION minor characters other TREK actors such as Dwight Schultz, Patti Yasutake, Kelsey Grammer, and actors from other Trek series such as Robert Picardo and Ethan Phillips are fun for hard-core fans but not distracting for everyone else.

Summary: By far the best Star Trek movie of all time.
Review: From beginning to end, this film has it all. The Borg are attacking the Federation, and Captain Picard is told that he is not to attack the Borg, and that the Enterprise is to go on a different mission. Picard and his crew both agree that they should help with the attack and they defy the federation's orders and destroy the Borg cube; but it's too late. At that point the Borg transported onto the Enterprise-E and the games began. The Borg are trying to go back to 21st century earth and assimilate Earth, but Picard and his crew try to stop them. I won't give away the ending but I can tell you that you can't afford to miss this film. Also, in one rather funny scene, Counselor Troi gets drunk. This is also the premiere of LaForge's new eyes, which can zoom in and spot objects very far away. My suggestion to you; Buy this movie today, or else you'll regret that you didn't tomorrow.

Summary: with or without you...
Review: How can you not love what Star Trek and Star Wars stand for? It's all about good against bad and it will always be like that, like it or not. You will never see Piccard or Nr. 1 on the 'other' side, as everyone calls it. The Borg has always been the favorite of the next generation Star Trek fans and everyone get what they want out of this picture. The special effects are amazing and if that, alone, is your poison, then this flick won't disappoint! I love the addition of some human exploits in the Borg community with Alice Krige's carracter and her encounter with Lieutenant Data, this has got to become a Star Trek classic! What is it we all look for in Star Trek TV series but don't get? It's the spectacual special effects that motion pictures can efford and rest assured, you'll get it all in this one! If you're a fan of this, as I am, then it's a must. Go buy it, now!

Summary: loved it
Review: It was an awesome movie. Lots of action. Humor, too. The 20th century lady, Lily, said that Borg sounded like Swedish. When she saw them, she said, "Definitely not Swedish." It was hilarious. Kind of scary, too. Especially for the younger ones. It's not really that good for kids under, let's say, seven.

Summary: Nobody else was THAT excited about it, but...
Review: In my humble opinion this is the best movie ever (not just the best Star Trek or Science Fiction Movie). I would gladly have given this film 5 stars just on its special effects, the musical score, the humor (Troi's comment about "time"), the chemistry between Picard and Lily, the excitement building up to Cochrane's warp flight, and the beautiful way in which the "first contact" was filmed. But the movie makes a major point here that I think only one previous reviewer touched upon. Without Zefram Cochrane's warp flight,the whole Star Trek universe falls apart. In the future, history later (quite justifiably) rewards him for this. And yet this was a womanizing alcoholic who was "just in it for the money". Now THAT's realism.

Summary: "The Next Generation" Actually Made A Real Movie Once....
Review: This is my favorite "Next Generation" film (and 2nd favorite "Trek" film-"Star Trek 2" being my absolute favorite), especially as the other 2 films have merely turned out to be television scripts. Maybe there is something to that even/odd numbered curse after all. I really can't say enough positive things about this film. Seeing the Borg in a theatrical film is a real treat, and writers Moore and Bragga demonstrated that they were capable of writing a real movie script this time around. In addition (as a previous reviewer has already noted), they were actually able to create a real character out of Zephram Cochrane-instead of a meticulous, technobabble quoting, 1 dimensional character (as has been the case before with "Star Trek" so often) the audience actually gets to see a wild and crazy drunk who dances to Roy Orbinson tunes. In addition, the ever restrained Picard looses his cool big time after being forced to dwell upon his experience with the Borg in "The Best of Both Worlds" episodes from the TV series (which I highly recommend seeing)-the result is an ugly and well-acted confrontation with Worf. Be cautioned however-this film is not meant for younger children and well deserves its PG-13 rating. The Borg, as they have been redesigned, could give any kid nightmares for life. Other positive comments: composer Jerry Goldsmith turns in what is indisputably the best score of any "Star Trek" film to date-I strongly recommend buying the soundtrack to this film as well. The special effects, as done by Lucasfilm, were extraordinary (enjoy them-Paramount couldn't get Lucasfilm for "Insurrection" and may never again), especially during the spacewalk battle on the hull of the Enterprise. My only complaint: at the height of the film's climax, the audience really isn't on the edge of its seat,as they were in, say, "Star Trek 2" for example. The scene is still exciting nonetheless. All in all, "First Contact" was one of the best "Trek"s ever and one of the best science-fiction films ever made.

Summary: this far, no farther
Review: The best of the series. At least as good as Wrath of Khan. This flick begins solidly mired in the tension of a Federation under siege by the Borg Collective: the one enemy the crew has never really beaten. The film is incredibly well done. The story, set in the post-Atomic 22nd century, alternates between two conflicts: the possibility that the Borg may have altered history and thwarted the original beginnings of the Federation; and the fact that the Borg are aboard the Enterprise taken it and the crew one by one. The tension as Picard, Data and Worf march to confront the Borg is heartstopping. It's kill or be assimmilated. Data's capture by the Borg Queen is fascinating as we all want to understand the origins and organization of the Collective. The original score is fantastic, a walk on the outside of the ship is really cool, and Capt. Picard's futile grudge-match with the Queen add incredible verve to this film. With these newly souped-up Borg, ever so much scary than the tv incarnations, you're bound to agree with Lily, "Jean-Luc, blow up the damned ship!"

Summary: They Got it right the 2nd time!
Review: After a disappointing start to The Next Generation movie era, First Contact Delivers! Patrick Stewart is wonderful, as usual, and the Data subplot will have you rolling in the aisles and biting your nails in suspense all at once.
