DVD Star Trek - Nemesis (Widescreen Edition)
The sacrifice of a beloved character is just one of many highlights in Nemesis, the 10th feature in the lucrative Star Trek franchise. Enigmatically billed as the beginning of "A Generation's Final Journey," this richly plotted Next Generation adventure maintains the "even number rule" regarding Trek's feature quality, and it's one of the best in the series. It hits its brisk stride when Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his Enterprise-E crew encounter Shinzon (Tom Hardy), a younger clone of Picard, rejected by the Romulans as the human weapon of an abandoned conspiracy. Raised on the nocturnal Romulan sister planet Remus, Shinzon now plots revenge against Romulus and Earth but needs Picard's blood to carry out his scheme. A wedding, a childlike "duplicate" Data named B-4 (Brent Spiner), spectacular space battles, and uncommon acts of valor make this a tautly-paced action thriller, poised to pass the franchise (but not quite yet) to a new generation of Starfleet personnel. Die-hard Trekkers will not be disappointed. --Jeff Shannon
Review(s): DVD Star Trek - Nemesis (Widescreen Edition)
The real death of the franchise
Someday, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga are going to wake up and realize just how lame this movie was. I've read a ton of excuses on why Nemesis did so poorly. I have yet to hear them say "We made a bad movie." Enterprise didn't kill Trek (shoot, half the country couldn't watch it, it WAS on UPN); this movie murdered it.
"I'm forced to agree with Admiral Cartwright..."
I don't know what version of the film Jeff Shannon watched, but I'd certainly like to see it because it isn't the one I saw. "One of the best in the series"? Hardly. Try the other way around. This is undoubtedly the most difficult Star Trek film I have ever tried to watch. I've attempted to sit through it three times in the hope that maybe a shimmer of good would come through for me...alas, it is not to be I'm afraid. Everything "N. Stock" said is 100% true and on the money. This is, in my opinion, the worst of the entire series of films, O.S. and TNG combined. Most people seem to agree that Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was the worst, but at least there's a sense of adventure which is sadly lacking in Nemesis. Star Trek V also had, in my opinion, some of the richest character interaction between Kirk, Spock and McCoy. Jerry Goldsmith's score is a joy to listen to as always. Sadly, that is the only thing Nemesis has going for it. The characters aren't even fun to watch. These characters we had come to enjoy watching on ST:TNG are cardboard cutouts of their television selves. Rick Berman is either trying to save face or he's living in denial. I think it's time Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens took over the reins of the Star Trek franchise. It's a shame Enterprise was canceled just when it was actually getting interesting with them as writers, producers and story editors. Season 4 of that series is what season 1 should have been. But, I'm straying off subject...Nemesis is without a doubt my least favorite of all 10 films and in my opinion, the absolute worst of the lot.
worst trek ever!
pointless action, horrible story, and THEN they killed off the only character that ever made any development in the whole damn series

Star Trek fans were decidedly mixed in their reactions to this, the ninth big-screen feature in Paramount's lucrative Trek franchise, but die-hard loyalists will appreciate the way this Next Generation adventure rekindles the spirit of the original Trek TV series while combining a tolerable dose of New-Agey philosophy with a light-hearted plot for the NextGen cast. This time out, Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his executive crew must transport to a Shangri-la-like planet to see why their android crewmate Data (Brent Spiner) has run amuck in a village full of peaceful Ba'ku artisans who--thanks to their planet's "metaphasic radiation"--haven't aged in 309 years.
Even-numbered Star Trek movies tend to be better, and First Contact (#8 in the popular movie series) is no exception--an intelligently handled plot involving the galaxy-conquering Borg and their attempt to invade Earth's past, alter history, and "assimilate" the entire human race. Time travel, a dazzling new Enterprise, and capable direction by Next Generation alumnus Jonathan Frakes makes this one rank with the best of the bunch. Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his able crew travel back in time to Earth in the year 2063, where they hope to ensure that the inventor of warp drive (played by James Cromwell) will successfully carry out his pioneering warp-drive flight and precipitate Earth's "first contact" with an alien race. A seductive Borg queen (Alice Krige)...

There were only two ways for "classic Trek" cast members to appear in a movie with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation: either Capt. Kirk and his contemporaries would have to be very, very old, or there would be some time travel involved in the plot. Since geriatric heroes aren't very exciting (despite a welcomed cameo appearance by the aged Dr. McCoy), Star Trek: Generations unites Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) and Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in a time-jumping race to stop a madman's quest for heavenly contentment. When a mysterious energy coil called the Nexus nearly destroys the newly christened U.S.S. Enterprise-B, the just-retired Capt. Kirk is lost and presumed dead. But he's actually been happily trapped in the timeless purgatory of the...

Ending the most popular film epic in history, Star Wars: Episode III, Revenge of the Sith is an exciting, uneven, but ultimately satisfying journey. Picking up the action from Episode II, Attack of the Clones as well as the animated Clone Wars series, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), pursue General Grievous into space after the droid kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid).

Batman Begins discards the previous four films in the series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, because the series, which had gotten off to a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following the murder of his parents. He is taken in by a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that is strangling it. But are there forces even more sinister at hand?
