Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The sacrifice of a beloved character is just one of many highlights in Nemesis, the 10th feature in the lucrative Star Trek franchise. Enigmatically billed as the beginning of 'A Generation's Final Journey,' this richly plotted Next Generation adventure maintains the 'even number rule' regarding Trek's feature quality, and it's one of the best in the series. It hits its brisk stride when Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his Enterprise-E crew encounter Shinzon (Tom Hardy), a younger clone of Picard, rejected by the Romulans as the human weapon of an abandoned conspiracy. Raised on the nocturnal Romulan sister planet Remus, Shinzon now plots revenge against Romulus and Earth but needs Picard's blood to carry out his scheme. A wedding, a childlike 'duplicate' Data named B-4 (Brent Spiner), spectacular space battles, and uncommon acts of valor make this a tautly-paced action thriller, poised to pass the franchise (but not quite yet) to a new generation of Starfleet personnel. Die-hard Trekkers will not be disappointed. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - MEDIOCRE!!! (Sorta)
Remember how awful "Insurrection" was? Well, "Nemesis" is kind of relief from that! It's nowhere near as inane, talky and bland as THAT cinematic TNG installment was, but you STILL wonder where the rest of the movie is! There are no "hooks" in this movie....! Nothing GRABS you like it should, like the better TNG TV eps like "Best of Both Worlds" or "Contagion" did. (And wouldn't the movies have been a great medium to further delve into THAT unfinished story??)
Picard has a clone within the Romulan empire. Big hairy deal! There's a double of ANOTHER major character in the film, too! One of the things that always p****d me off about the TNG show was the lazy writer's devise of making yet another "double character" episode! They almost ALWAYS stank after the first use of this devise!
The film opens up on Rolmulus...(btw, the Romulan throne city exteriors look JUST like they did on TV...like obvious miniatures.) And we are witness to what amounts to the reverse of what happened to Julius Caesar, with Romulan senators killed off within the first five minutes. THEN the intrigue starts in earnest! What might bother you in this movie is: Why is Earth never actually threatened? Or Vulcan? Or the Klingons? This all pretty much stays in the Romulan system, well away from the doorsteps of the classic Romulan enemies. Just think of the tension that being in the Terran, Klingon or Vulcan systems that would have engendered vis a vis the Romulans against the full bore complement of Federation ... Read More
Rating:  - Not so bad !
Some of these reviews are pitiful and mean spirited.
I have been a Star Trek fan since the early 1970s as a child, but am not a trekkie.
I enjoyed this movie and do not nit pick it apart !
I pray for at least one more Next Generation movie !
Rating:  - I was too hard on this film in the theater.
First, let me state I dislike about two thirds of the classic, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise content out there. Still, I'll watch them, because scene to scene they have their moments and there are some very stellar (no pun intended) episodes scattered throughout.
Next, I want to dis this film for some legitimate reasons. To have Wil Weaton in the reception scene sitting next to his mom and then not use him in any other part of the film was ridiculous.
I'm geeking out here, but considering Tasha Yar's daughter is Romulan, you'd think we'd encounter her as one of the Romulan commanders later in the film. Since this is the final "future" Trek film, that would have been fitting to get all the cast members in. How did they miss that one?
The scene with Data and Picard in his Ready Room drinking wine and speaking of human ritual & bonds (I think that's what it was, it's been a while) should not have been cut. It's essential for both showing the audience more of the friendship between those two, the significant of the Chateau Picard wine toasted later in the film, and the poignancy of Data's sacrifice. That cut was not only unnecessary, but detrimental to the film's arc. Forget the "tempo", "momentum", or "rhythm" of the film. We're not talking action scenes, here.
The bat imagery and inspiration was a bit, how do I put this mildly, overt. No, that's too kind. It was beating me over the head with a big, dead, stinky bat, like some junior ... Read More
Rating: - Not So Much An "Out Of This World" Send-Off Of The TNG Cast...
What a sad, depressing way to pretty much end an amazing franchise, Star Trek Nemesis, the tenth film in the series, finally ended the Trekkie theory that every even numbered movie was colossal while the odds were medicore at best. The early 2000's weren't a good time for the franchise, with ST:Voyager ending it's run less than a year earlier and leaving ST:Enterprise alone and not doing a good job ratings or storywise. This was the third solo Next Generation film (not counting '94's Generations which was old with new casts), and the appeal was stating to really, really wear thin.
Once again the Next Gen crew are sent on a typical mission (much like the previous film, the "hippie-like" Insurrection) to speak to a missionary representative of a subrace of the Romulans known as the Remans, who look nothing like them with their white disfigured bat-like faces. But when Captain Picard and crew get there, they find out their new leader is actually a twenty-something clone of the Captain known as Shinzon. He says all he wants is peace between the three parties, but of course in true Star Trek fashion his real mission is to destroy the Romulan Empire, the Federation, and his dopperganger Picard himself.
Sure, the special effects are up to typical Star Trek fashion but that's all they reach, which is typical. Not much new is going on here except for an out-of-place, land based, dune-buggy race (in Star Trek?) and many endings/beginning of the ST:TNG storyline. After a twenty year courtship, ... Read More
Rating: - Nemesis one of the best, misses mark with non-fans
My apologies up front, but my review of this film, and reaction to some of the other reviews present, is more personal and less detached than reviews of this type usually should be. But where Star Trek is concerned, my opinions are more emotional, and even deeply more personal than usual for TV and film subject matter. If this will derail you, read no further.
After watching so many people regurgitate their semi-informed views on the state of Trek and recent projects, and this film in particular, I have abandoned my "to each their own" stance on the subject, and will have my say.
Another reviewer writes: "I'm simply amazed at how many Star Trek fans abhor this movie! I guess I'm not enough of a Trekkie to understand the hatred, though I have been a fan since the 1970's."
I was thinking the opposite. I myself have been a fan since the '70's. I believe that makes people like us "real" fans, and provides sufficient credentials to have an opinion. At first I also wondered why so many bad reviews. Then, I realized, in settings like this, you are not seeing the opinions of Star Trek fans. You are getting the opinions of "a majority of the people." Big difference. Star Trek never was truly appreciated by a majority of the people. A majority of the people apparently thought the original series should be cancelled....
Asking people who probably did not truly "get" Trek, and what made it work to begin with, to rate which movie is the best, is like asking my mom and dad (children of the 50's) if ... Read More
