Review of Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) by Kai82 — 17 Mar 2020

The movie that broke the rule (of two;-). Until this the even numbered Star Trek movies were the great ones. This movie while not as bad as Star Trek 5 does not deliver. It fells like the parts of the story were patched together without polishing the edges.

For itself the story arcs have potential. I can retell the story in a way that you will be excited until you actually saw the movie. It is about mayor intrigues in the Romulan government, the relations between Romulus and the Federation, about Data and a long abandon plan involving Picard that could have shaken the foundations of the Federation.

Even with this spoiler safe wording you should see the potential. Sadly it does not deliver. I wont even blame the actors. They did a good job. I like especially Data, Picard and Shinzon. I will point out that Tom Hardy did a good job as Shinzon but is a mismatch for the role (Cant spoil).

I will even say it is unwillingly funny or gives you the feeling of disbelieve. The special effects are good as are the battles. My complaint is that the final battle is nothing new and much is predictable.

Also the commanding officers are morons for getting this started there. Even I would or could avoid this disadvantage. I would say there could be a good or even awesome movie with this premise but it doesn't get me hooked.

Overall this movie ended the TNG era. I would have wished for a better and more satisfying ending but don't see this as failure. At least it is worth watching.
