This a great movie. This is better then the TV show. This better then the first 9 Star Trek movies. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It very fast past Star Trek IX is better. But still this a great movie. Star Trek into darkness is better. Star Trek beyond is also better. Still this a great movie. See it. It is an awesome.

It's difficult for a particular franchise of films to live on for an extended period of time, let alone a long TV series and 4 feature films. With uninspired direction and a gradually silly film, It seems that after 15 years, this iteration of the Enterprise crew just ran out of gas. Though 'Insurrection' did well at further developing the crew of the Enterprise, 'Nemesis' puts a heavy focus on its villain. This time played by newcomer (at the time) Tom Hardy. Hardy plays Shinzon, a mysterious character hell-bent on completing his Romulan mission with a background linked to Captain Picard himself. Although the dialogue isn't always the best, Hardy shows just how good of an actor he would become, especially up against someone as revered as Patrick Stewart.Director Stuart Baird supposedly had never seen an episode of The Next Generation, and the way he handled the direction and tone of this film definitely showed that lack of knowledge. I think his attempt at creating a story that felt very different from what came before is admirable, but too much liberties taken and you may have some upset fans.This also comes into play when you think about the strange inclusion of a brother to Data, and Shinzon being a clone of Picard. I didn't find either of those two story lines compelling, nor did it really bring anything new to that approach of storytelling. It's only when I watched the actors bring much more out of the dialogue that I realized there could have been something great here.If for anything else, Shinzon is an extremely active villain and Hardy doesn't waste the extra screen time, though I was a bit turned off by a unique communication device he uses early on in the film, seriously it's just uncomfortable (and not Star Trek at all) for the wrong reasons. With diminished screen time for the Enterprise crew, they barely leave the bridge, except for one out of place Mad Max style desert sequence. Nemesis is just one of those Star Trek films I can't seem to figure out. I can tell the franchise fatigue seemed to set in, but there's still plenty of good with the performances of the crew and the newcomer Tom Hardy.+Hardy showed promise+Picard and Data's performances-But their strange subplots were unnecessary-Director/writers uncomfortable plot choices5.4/10

"Nemesis" could have opened the door to a Star Trek XI with all 3 Captains battling for hope...But no thank you Stuart Baird, your faint knowledge of the franchise left us with an overly long movie, and just by looking at Picard's face at some point, looking fed up and tired...No thank you Paramount, to either kept Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton or even Sir Patrick to direct, let alone a retouch of the script...But at least, some positive notes: Tom Hardy should not be ashamed of this movie, he was an acceptable "Nemesis"...And letting Data know another "Dr.Soong" creation existed...And Riker and Troi being married...And one last hope to see Romulans leave their warlord ways and get part in the Federation, let alone Romulan Ale to be legal...However, cool cameo by Kate Mulgrew as Admiral Janeway...But for what happened and for this movie to be a box office flop, it is very sad, we could have avoided a "reboot" somewhat...Watch it only for Picard's last battle... and our favourite android's ultimate sacrifice...

I really enjoyed this movie. It's one of two Star Trek movies that I own (the other one being the 2009 reboot), and I don't buy movies unless I plan to watch them multiple times. I really admire the production values. I love how the camera moves through the credits, circles around Remus, and homes in through the clouds to the Romulan Senate. I appreciate things such as the shadow that passes over the Enterprise as the shuttle goes down to investigate the positronic readings and the atmosphere that surrounds the planet. The shuttle landing looked very realistic including the puff of dust as it landed. I also love the buckling of the ships as they smash together, and that debris floats around when the ships separate. I think the music is fantastic. I think Tom Hardy does a great job. I love some of his lines - "You won't survive long enough to witness the victory of the echo over the voice" and "All power to the engines. Full reverse." The viceroy was wonderfully glowering and I liked his low, rumbling, menacing voice. I love his look of disgust as he turns away after giving Shinzon grief in the Senate chamber. And I love Picard's lines "She's a predator" and "Nothing would make me more proud to accept your hand in friendship, when that trust has been earned." All in all a good ride with lots of details that I really appreciated.
