Review of Star Trek: First Contact (1996) by Phillip L — 20 Jul 2013
This decent entry in the Star Trek franchise tells the story of the Federationwhose crew that comes under the attack of the Borg, a cybernetics-enhanced race that once kidnapped Captain Jean-Luc Picard played by Patrick Stewart.
As a former prisoner himself, he is forced to stay out of the new battle but cannot resist and orders the brand-new starship Enterprise into the fray. The Enterprise follows the only surviving Borg ship through a time tunnel, where they intend to conquer Earth in an earlier era.
The Borg have targeted the work of Zefram Cochrane played by James Cromwell who is the inventor of the warp drive which is a device that makes interplanetary travel possible. As the Enterprise crew attempts to stop the Borg from interrupting the work of Cochrane and his assistant, Lily played by Alfre Woodard, Borg drones invade the Enterprise and take it over piece by piece while Data played by Brent Spiner is captured and seduced by the Borg Queen played by Alice Krige.
Star Trek: First Contact is one of the rare Star Trek films that actually takes itself seriously without any lame comedy or over-complicated plot points. Star Trek: First Contact gets a 8/10.
