Star Trek: First Contact

Great movie! Funny, good story and plot twist. Enjoyed this all the way and the surprise actor guest appearances. The Borg have always been a favorite and this was a great expanding on the story of who they are.

Interesting how this film divides opinion like no other from this franchise. It is my least favourite (except perhaps "The Final Frontier") as it does attempt to impose a morality that is well beyond the scope of the talent involved - both on screen and at the typewriter. The effects are certainly special, but even with the quirky contribution of James Cromwell I'm struggling to think of this as anything better than a longer episode of "Next Generation" with all of it's pseudo-intellectual idealism. Like so many films directed by and starring their stars; objectivity is sometimes first under the bus - I fear that is the case here.

Really solid and suspense-filled Star Trek film. Seen this one once before and still holds up along with the visual effects which were decent for its time. This is also the first complete TNG feature and unlike Generations, did feel like a movie rather than two-part episode. 4.0/5
