In STAR TREK: NEMESIS, based on the STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION television series, the USS Enterprise is gearing up for a challenging mission. While responding to a call from the Romulan neutral zone, the crew comes across a signal on the nearby planet Remus. It turns out to be Data's (Brent Spiner) less advanced brother, B-4 (also played by Spiner). Soon thereafter, Picard is confronted by Shinzon (Tom Hardy), who makes an offer of peace on behalf of the Romulans. As Starfleet enters into negotiations, they realize this treaty may have a twist. Shinzon presents himself as a clone of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), and as a simultaneous friend and foe. Though the baby faced Shinzon wears an intimidating shiny black metallic suit of armor, and spits his words through a nasty sneer, he is clearly no match for Picard. Meanwhile Data has a nifty side project debugging his clone, whose intentions are not as innocent as they may seem. As tension mounts between the crew of the Starship Enterprise and Shinzon's Reman minions, resulting in riveting high-tech deep-space battle, a vital sacrifice must be made to save the day. STAR TREK: NEMESIS's shocking ending will leave viewers hanging, anxiously awaiting the next installment in the series.

The tenth entry in the long-running Star Trek franchise sees the crew of the USS Enterprise about to split up after the nuptials of Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Counselor Troi (Marina Sirtis), and Riker's acceptance of his own starship command. However, their plans change when the Romulans offer a suspect peace treaty and Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) encounters his evil clone twin, Shinzon (Tom Hardy). Like many of the previous big-screen adventures, this action-packed outing — for an increasingly ageing crew, it has to be said — resembles a good episode of the TV series stretched to feature-film length and contains nothing new or surprising in terms of plot. But for legions of fans, it will be a welcome if bittersweet return to familiar territory, given the clear hints that this will be the last film to feature the complete Next Generation company of actors.
Dull, dull, dull. The cast seem unable to summon up much interest in a script feeble enough to put this series into a suspended animation for all time.
Once again, to the delight of any Star Trek fan, we find ourselves involved and pleased to witness a new tale about the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise - TNG.
The heart of the story revolves around the dilemma of cloning and friendship. Jean-Luc and Data are our two focal points throughout the movie. The theme is well clothed in details of a Romulan plot against the Federation.
As with any good story it tries to maintain our interest and involvement along the way as well as to entertain us. I am sorry to say that this one in retrospect will at times leave us a bit unsatisfied. The special effects live up to the current standards that we have all come to expect, but a small amount of human kindness and insight as to what makes us unique in the universe isn't quite enough to carry us through the film. As with most Star Trek movies this one will satisfy our appetite by giving us the all-important battle and tactical sequence that heightens it?s ending. Which any good chess player can relate to, by being able to see the moves well in advance but by not having them lessen the joy of watching them played out one by one. On this note you will not be dissatisfied.
In final comparison to it?s predecessors like Insurrection, First Contact, Generations and the all famous The Wrath of Khan this one can be proud to come away with a strong second place finish.
So may Star Trek continue to live long and prosper for the ultimate benefit of us all.

Abrams brought the sci-fi franchise back to cinemas this year (09) with Star Trek, a prequel to the original 1960s TV show, featuring a new cast of young actors. Stewart played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV series for seven years and brought his character to the big screen in four spin-off Read more
