Star Trek 8 - First Contact
The Borg have once again targeted the Federation; this time, their devious plot threatens not only the present, but Earth's past as well. While Commander Riker, Deanna Troi, and Geordi La Forge work hard on the surface of 21st-century Earth to keep history on schedule, the rest of the crew plays a desperate game with the genetically-networked attackers above the planet, matching former Locutus Jean-Luc and cybernetically-naive Data against the erotic, mechanized cunning of the Borg queen. Resistance is futile. Academy Awards nominations: 1--Best Makeup.

The Borg travel back in time to sabotage that pivotal moment in Earth's destiny when we first made contact with an alien race in this first-rate adventure. What else can Captain Picard do except follow and sort things out? Epic in scope, grandiose in emotional sweep and featuring awesome special effects, this is captivating science fiction packed with ideas, thrills, in-jokes and tense action. It's all expertly marshalled by director Jonathan Frakes (who also plays Commander Riker) with a keen visual eye and an inherent understanding of the history and importance of the series.

"...A smashingly exciting sci-fi adventure that ranks among the very best....Stewart once again comports himself with all the gravity and panache you would expect from a Shakespearean-trained actor..."

you dont have to be a trekky fan to enjoy
I couldnt decide what film to hire out for Christmas (2004) that could be enjoyed by both my parents, friends and nephew. This was liked by all - I even had my nephew (who orgianlly sighed at the thought of watching star trek) exclaiming - 'resistence is frutile' and 'I am the Borg!' - an entertaining film to watch
