A review by Brooks Rich
We reach the end of Star Trek Sunday and we go out with a whimper because we have arrived at Star Trek: Nemesis. This film should be much better than it is. I'm going to keep this relatively short because the film series kind of got lame and not that interesting at the end. We come full circle back to the Motionless Picture to a film that has a good concept but is just kind of a nothing film.
The Romulans have a new leader, Shinzon, and he insists on meeting Picard. The Enterprise is sent to meet the new leader of the Romulan empire and see if maybe there's a chance for peace. Shinzon is actually a clone of Picard, he needs him to keep himself alive, he wants to invade the Federation, so much is going on but I am bored.
Nemesis is boring. There's no way around it. It's just a boring film. I don't get how some people like this film over Insurrection. Nemesis just gets so pedantic and long winded at some times. Yes it has a great early performance from Tom Hardy as Shinzon and he and Patrick Stewart have good chemistry together. But it just becomes too much. Yes we get it. It's a power struggle between them. A duel between two great actors. Do something in this film.
I'll admit I do look negatively on this film because it is the last Star Trek movie not counting the Abrams films, which I don't. Those don't count. It's exciting that there is a new show with Picard coming out but man, did the Next Generation crew not get as good as a send off as the TOS crew. Nemesis doesn't fall flat. It's just asleep at the wheel. Or maybe that's the audience.
Rating: 1.5/5
