Critic Reviews

Kenneth Turan

Familiarity and continuity are what the success of this series has always been about. We've been here before, and we like the neighborhood. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

This is a better movie than the vacuous "Insurrection," thanks largely to a sympathetic screenwriter, longtime "Trek" fanatic John Logan ("Gladiator"), and a crew (headed by Patrick Stewart's Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and Brent Spiner's android Data) determined to go out in glory. Read full review

James Berardinelli

The venerable series is looking outmoded and outdated. Media saturation and age have taken their toll. Read full review

Stephen Holden

An amiably klutzy affair whose warm, fuzzy heart emits intermittent bleats from the sleeve of its gleaming spacesuit. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Fails to engage. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Star Trek is over for me. I've been looking at these stories for half a halftime, and, let's face it, they're out of gas. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

An offering so endearingly lame it seems to have missed the past 10 years' worth of special-effects breakthroughs. Read full review

NEMESIS is a pure delight for fans and non-fans. This film is filled with great acting performances by Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Tom Hardy as the evil villain Praetor Shinzon.

This film is filled with great acting performances by Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Tom Hardy as the evil villain Praetor Shinzon. We for the first time in the Star Trek universe get to explore the Romulan Senate, political structure, the twin world Remus and see for the first time the Remans. While there are great action sequences the main heart of NEMESIS is Shinzons struggle for his identity over Picard. This is a must see for fans of philosophical dramas as well as those who love science fiction. A must see!… Expand

A Wonderful movie, I totally disagree with the reviews above. In no way was this movie predictable, the ending fit well but manythings could have happened with in the last 10 minutes that you just didn't know which one it was going to be. The only thing predictable about this movie isA Wonderful movie, I totally disagree with the reviews above. In no way was this movie predictable, the ending fit well but manythings could have happened with in the last 10 minutes that you just didn't know which one it was going to be. The only thing predictable about this movie is that ...... Although the movie does not throw in any events from the tv series, the story moves well from event to event. I was amazed at the resemblance of the android b-4 and data. I was waiting for someone to say he lookd just like data's brother from the tv series (who's name i have forgotten). This is the movie making makeup that goes along with most movies. Not everyone has seen the episoeds and this is generally the best way to keep things rolling with a new audience. Being a fan of star trek, and not the other star.... star something moive, I liked this film. I did the best i could to not throw in any spoilers so get to the movies and see how the end of a generation starts your weekend.… Expand

Excellent movie, and a satisfying end to the Next Generation stories. I am now and probably always will be baffled by the negative critical response to this one. It's not quite "Wrath of Khan," but I put it just a little behind "First Contact" as one of the great Trek movies.

Until this the even numbered Star Trek movies were the great ones. This movie while not as bad as Star Trek 5 does not deliver. It fells like the parts of the story were patched together without polishing the edges. For itself the story arcs have potential. I can retell the story in a way that you will be excited until you actually saw the movie. It is about mayor intrigues in the Romulan government, the relations between Romulus and the Federation, about Data and a long abandon plan involving Picard that could have shaken the foundations of the Federation. Even with this spoiler safe wording you should see the potential. Sadly it does not deliver. I wont even blame the actors. They did a good job. I like especially Data, Picard and Shinzon. I will point out that Tom Hardy did a good job as Shinzon but is a mismatch for the role (Cant spoil). I will even say it is unwillingly funny or gives you the feeling of disbelieve. The special effects are good as are the battles. My complaint is that the final battle is nothing new and much is predictable. Also the commanding officers are morons for getting this started there. Even I would or could avoid this disadvantage. I would say there could be a good or even awesome movie with this premise but it doesn't get me hooked. Overall this movie ended the TNG era. I would have wished for a better and more satisfying ending but don't see this as failure. At least it is worth watching.… Expand

Overall, to me, this is by far the worst of the Star Trek films, in fact it is worse than the abysmal Star Trek V The final Frontier. Final Frontier at least kept fairly true to their characters though so it wins out. While there is much good in it, like Darth Vader, it deserves death.Overall, to me, this is by far the worst of the Star Trek films, in fact it is worse than the abysmal Star Trek V The final Frontier.

Unlike Vader, there is little chance for redemption.

Another dark Star Trek movie - literally. Seems like the director is trying to use lighting (again *sigh*) to make the bad guys bad. This movie is visually unappealing. It's unnecessarily dark. The big bad is a cliche and lame. With so much to work with this was the best they could do? skipAnother dark Star Trek movie - literally.

Nemesis was so bad and juvenile that I cringed during the showing. The dialogue and acting was a complete joke. Patrick Stewart must be puking after wathcing his own performance in this DREK? Gene has to be turning over in his grave with Capt. Kirk probably grateful that he is already in Nemesis was so bad and juvenile that I cringed during the showing.

Kirk probably grateful that he is already in his. Even the writing for Data has been done before in earlier ST movies but with Mr. Spock. What were the screenwriters thinking of?... It is time for all ST fans to abandon ship! Just terrible.… Expand
