Star Trek - Nemesis (Full Screen Edition)

Starring:Patrick Stewart
Studio: Paramount
Product Type: DVD
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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

Spanning two decades and countless light years of interstellar adventure, Star Trek: The Motion Pictures Collection is a testament to the enduring goodwill of Gene Roddenberry's optimistic sci-fi concept. Long before Star Wars sparked an explosion of big-screen science fiction, Roddenberry had planned a second Star Trek TV series; the project fizzled, but its pilot script evolved into the first film in Paramount's most lucrative movie franchise. Despite its sluggish pace and bland "pajama" costuming, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) offered a welcomed reunion of the "Classic Trek" cast, packed with Douglas Trumbull's still-dazzling special effects. Trekkers were even more ecstatic when The Wrath of Khan (1982) revived the spirit of the original series, even though director Nicholas Meyer was a Trek neophyte. With Leonard Nimoy directing, The Search for Spock (1984) began where Khan left off, with a thrilling (albeit contrived) obligation to resurrect the formerly ill-fated Mr. Spock.
A box-office smash, Nimoy's The Voyage Home (1986) is the franchise's most accessible adventure--a high point offset by William Shatner's comparatively dreadful Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989). Meyer (and his penchant for quoting Shakespeare) returned for The Undiscovered Country (1991), a conspiracy thriller that put the series back on track, inspiring fans to invoke the "even number" rule in rating their franchise favorites. Generations (1994) gracefully passed the torch to TV's The Next Generation, bidding farewell to Captain Kirk with honor and integrity intact. Highlighted by the evolving humanity of Brent Spiner's android Lt. Cmdr. Data, First Contact (1996) explored Star Trek history with a logical (hint) surprise encounter, and Insurrection (1998) provided an adequate expansion of the successful NextGen series. Taken as a whole, these ten films demonstrate the consistent vitality of Roddenberry's original vision, stoking any Trekker's appetite for "ongoing missions" in Nemesis and beyond. --Jeff Shannon Most of the feature films were released early in the DVD era, but are represented here in their vastly improved two-disc special editions, which boast widescreen anamorphic pictures, director's cuts of the first two films, numerous commentary tracks by cast and crew, humorous and informative trivia subtitle tracks by Michael and Denise Okuda, and a wide variety of new and vintage documentaries and galleries.

Not true to the series but..........2007-06-17
its not the worst film I've ever seen. (a few Spoilers below)
The main problems are that the story doesn't hold up to being made as a movie. I could have seen this as a special mini series or something. Everything seemed so THROWN together at the last minute and there were many gaps on continuity from DS9 and the original TNG. I hated the idea of Worf leaving his position with the Klingons to stay with Star Fleet knowing he can never move up in position, no possible way for him to be promoted ever...yet this movie makes it seem like he is doing just that. I liked the idea of him staying with the Klingons as was shown in the last episode of DS9.
What helped me give this movie 3 stars is that the deleted scenes made the movie better in my opinion, and should have been included. That shot with Spot and Worf answered my question as to what would be done with his things and what ever happened to Spot (though I can't see Worf keeping him...they should have had Deanna in the room with Spot and Spot going to her that would have been touching and more plausible). I liked seeing Admiral Janeway too, really helped bring the shows together.
Also it was nice how the extended ending had a new XO come on board and that joke with the captain's chair was nice.
Without the extras, however, I would only give this 2 stars. It was a disappointment for a true fan of the ST universe.
Dark, very dark for a Star Trek Movie.......2007-06-04
I'm not a fan of the dark movies, it may create an evil effect, but also makes it hard for the viewer to enjoy all that there is to be seen. This does live up to the Franchise history. Good battle scenes, conflict between good and evil, and true victory to the one that out thinks or out strategizes the other. I'm glad to see that they continue to bring the "technology" further into the future and that they allow the characters to grow and receive some "promotions" as side stories in it all. All in all, I have to say that I wasn't really disappointed with this movie and have added it to my collection. If you are a Star Trek fan, you should buy it. If you like Sci-Fi movies, you should at least watch it.
The Most Underapreciated Star Trek Film.......2007-05-15
The final Star Trek film is the most underapreciated in my opinion. I have and always shall be a trekkie. I have all the films and enjoy everyone of them though some are better than others. I have always enjoyed the Romulan stories and for the first time the Romulans are in one of the movies, and it just happens to be the final one. It was a very well done story and is one of my favorites.
Nemesis.......2007-05-06
This was the only S.T. movie I had not seen. Sure glad to have found it and enjoyed it!
PARAMOUNT RAPED THE ORIGINAL ENDING.......2007-05-01
I AM A AVID STAR TREK FAN AND I WAS REALLY DISAPOINTED TO SEE THAT THE DVD VERSION WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE THEATRE VERSION. THERE WAS A HUGE BATTLE SEEN THAT WAS CUT FROM THE DVD VERSION AND I ENJOYED WATCHING IT BUT IT WAS A DISAPOINTMENT ON THE ENDING.

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.

missed chance for movie.......2007-06-23
I'm a late bloomer trekie fan. Within the past 4 four years I really got into the Star Trek world (I'm a die hard TNG,DS9, & VGY fan). I also just buying most of the movies.
I looked forward to Nemesis mainly because of the Romulan angle. To me, they are the most intresting group that never received their full due in any movie.
I felt that the plot was very weak and was ok for a one time viewing. I know with all the great stories on the shows that someone could have written a better movie.
I hope the upcoming movie is alot better.
Star Trek saga.......2007-05-13
Not the best Star Trek movie ever, but well done and with some good ideas for future spin offs.
Must have StarTrek Next Gen Movie.......2007-04-07
If you like star trek at all, this video is a must. Being the last movie in the Next Genenation era, and a culmination of 20 years of Next Gen content, this movie will blow you away (especially the ending!!)
TNG goes out with a bang.......2007-02-23
Not sure what is up with the negative reviews but, personally I loved it. It does a good job of trying to intergrate all these characters into this movie. The role Data has in this is great and the picard/clone relationship was good. Riker and Troi have their moment and we even get a Janeway, Wesley, Guinan appearance. Might have liked one more space battle but, the last one was very impressive and the general end was impressive and wasnt' expecting it to happen the way it did. In general it just showed me why the TNG was so great. Even in the interaction between the crew is vintage STar trek TNG.
The only downside is that Worf one of my favs didnt' have a big role but, for the price here it's a must buy
maybe the worst of the series.......2006-06-04
This movie was just plain stupid. That Shinzon character didn't look anything like Picard, I mean give me a break. Plus the humor was just so cringe-inducing. It literally gave me a stomach ache.

Last Days of Glory.......2007-01-12
Star Treks days of glory have come to an end. STAR TREK - NEMESIS may be the final cinematic chapter the STAR TREK Next Generation crew. Interestingly this is a dark and somewhat bleak looking film involving the Romulans. The film is actually good but the pessimistic atmosphere leaves one yearning for the glory days of STAR TREK be they the old or next generation. Jerry Goldsmith's final Star Trek score is outstanding and one of his best.
Star Trek and PSP fans will be pleased.........2006-07-30
The only downside to this video was it plays so quietly on PSP. I first watched it on a plane and the volume was so low (even when the volume was up all the way) i couldn't hear anything at all and had to watch in subtitles..and what fun is watching a star trek film without being able to hear captain picard say engage!! but all around a great film. If you haven't seen it and are a trekky, I'm disappointed because it's definitly my favorite. And Hey-if you love Data you better get this! because...well...i cried. thats all i have to say.
A Great End to the 'Next Generation' Movies.......2006-01-15
Star Trek: Nemesis is simply a great movie. The reason that this has gotten bad reviews is because it's a different Star Trek movie. A lot of the ones in the past revolve around characters and funny situations. This one, however, is very dark with lots of action sequences. It makes a great movie.
The story is about Captain Picard on a mission to the Neatural Zone to talk about Peace to the romulans. Little does he know that he is flying right to his long-lost clone.
Instead of a happy re-union, things quickly turn into an all-out war between the two. The action scenes are probably the best of any Star Trek film (besides First Contact). The part where Picard drives his ship into his clones ship is classic.
Data's character is also revealed here, and is actually quite touching. In the beginning he sings Blue Skies (yup, Data sings), in the end (spoiler) he dies saving the ship.
All in all, the couldn't have done better ending the Next Generation movies. It has humor (Data, shut up!). It has mystery. It has awesome battle sequences. What more could you want from a Star Trek movie! I own every single Star Trek movie, and this one ranks up there as one of my favorites. It's my first PSP movie, and I'm glad I got it. WATCH THE SCENE WHERE THE SHIPS CRASH OVER AND OVER AGAIN! It's so awesome, you eyes will be glued to your PSP!

"Star Trek: The Next Generation" goes out with a whimper.......2005-09-07
The plot of "Star Trek: Nemesis" comes down to three situations. First, and most importantly, Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) discovers that he not only has a clone (Tom Hardy) who was created by the Romulans by raised by the Remuseans, but that the enterprising Shinzon has become Praetor of the Romulan Empire, which has a weapon that can destroy all life on Earth. Second, in an obvious parallel, Data (Brent Spiner) discovers yet another of Dr. Soong's prototype androids, named B-4 (also Spiner). Third, and finally in more ways than one, Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Counselor Troi (Marina Sirtis) are finally getting married. This 10th Star Trek film, and four in the STNG part of the series, has its moments but is ultimately less than satisfying.
Part of the problem is that even before the film's climatic death scene we are already aware that we have another Star Trek death that is not really death scene. Yes, this is certainly more plausible than the first one in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"/"Star Trek III: The Search for Spock," but that it is at the expense of the shock and emotional impact the first time around. Consequently, the big payoff rings hollow, which is never a good sing for a major theatrical release.
Another part of the problem is that the cast is so large that few of them have much of value to do. Geordi LaForge (LeVar Burton) has been standing by for several films mainly to ask Data what he is doing so the android can explain, Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) waits for casualties to show up in sick bay, and Worf (Michael Dorn) is at least good for a few laughs with the comments he makes in his cups while everyone is toasting Riker and Troi. As far as the movies go, STNG has boiled down to Picard and Data, and the rest are along for the ride, posing stiffly and formly in the background. That being said, "Nemesis" finally gives Counselor Troi the main supporting role and a couple of scenes when she proves she can give as well as receive. But overall there are two many cast members sitting around with little or nothing to do; compare this with the series finale "All Good Things..."
Finally, there are just too many significant gaps in the thinking of the main characters. Picard and his clone think they understand each other as if in the future the nature versus nurture issue has gone the way of safety belts being required on alll chairs on spaceships. Yes, having a clone is creeping. Yes, having your clone serving in a Romulan slave pit is disturbing. But the idea that the result is a younger version of itself was never legitimated by novels/films like "The Boys From Brazil." This is supposed to be the future, but the "science" here is about on par with a 1950s film. If I, who know virtually nothing about science in general or cloning in particular can see the holes in this logic, than Picard's Starfleet Academy training should serve him in much better stead.
Now that we are apparently here at the end of the road for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" it might be appropriate to conduct a post mortem and consider the question of why the theatrical films were never as good as any of the two-part episodes of the television series. The short explanation is they went for bigger (e.g., the Borg rewrite human history) rather than better. What is so puzzling is why a creative staff that came up with several solid story lines almost every season for many years could not cut it when it was required to come up with one very good idea every few years. "Star Trek - Nemesis" has the characters of STNG but neither the style nor the substance; what does Picard driving a intergalactic dune buggy have to do with why we loved this television show? Plus, the lighting makes Data's skin look really weird. At least we have the complete "Star Trek: The Next Generation" out on DVD now.

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
Customer Reviews:
missed chance for movie.......2007-06-23
I'm a late bloomer trekie fan. Within the past 4 four years I really got into the Star Trek world (I'm a die hard TNG,DS9, & VGY fan). I also just buying most of the movies.
I looked forward to Nemesis mainly because of the Romulan angle. To me, they are the most intresting group that never received their full due in any movie.
I felt that the plot was very weak and was ok for a one time viewing. I know with all the great stories on the shows that someone could have written a better movie.
I hope the upcoming movie is alot better.
Star Trek saga.......2007-05-13
Not the best Star Trek movie ever, but well done and with some good ideas for future spin offs.
Must have StarTrek Next Gen Movie.......2007-04-07
If you like star trek at all, this video is a must. Being the last movie in the Next Genenation era, and a culmination of 20 years of Next Gen content, this movie will blow you away (especially the ending!!)
TNG goes out with a bang.......2007-02-23
Not sure what is up with the negative reviews but, personally I loved it. It does a good job of trying to intergrate all these characters into this movie. The role Data has in this is great and the picard/clone relationship was good. Riker and Troi have their moment and we even get a Janeway, Wesley, Guinan appearance. Might have liked one more space battle but, the last one was very impressive and the general end was impressive and wasnt' expecting it to happen the way it did. In general it just showed me why the TNG was so great. Even in the interaction between the crew is vintage STar trek TNG.
The only downside is that Worf one of my favs didnt' have a big role but, for the price here it's a must buy
maybe the worst of the series.......2006-06-04
This movie was just plain stupid. That Shinzon character didn't look anything like Picard, I mean give me a break. Plus the humor was just so cringe-inducing. It literally gave me a stomach ache.
