The following is my rather lengthy review of the new movie "Star Trek:
Neme= sis." It's longer than I thought it would be, but if anybody
knows me, they know that I tend to be rather wordy.
This review contains spoilers. You've been warned.

Today, I saw the second movie of the year in the theatres, "Star Trek: Nem=
esis." This is the=20
first "Star Trek" movie to come out in the theatres since
"Insurrection" in=
1998. That movie did not=20
do all that well in the box office, and so it took the powers that be at
Pa= ramount four years to come=20
up with a new movie featuring the "Next Generation" crew. This
is the four= th movie for them, and=20
quite likely the last one. It was even tagged as "A generation's
final jou= rney begins." Paramount=20
decided to bring an outside writer in John Logan (who penned the very
succe= ssful movie=20
"Gladiator"), although Logan is a fan and knows the series inside
and out. =
He apparently put some=20
inside touches into the movie, such as a reference to the holodeck scene in=
the series pilot, and=20
even an appearance of Data's cat Spot. Others I might have missed. An
out= side director, Stuart=20
Baird, was brought in to guide the filming and production of the movie. He=
had little knowledge of=20
Trek lore and had to be guided along the way. These changes were done in
t= he hope of producing=20
an interesting and even fresh story, with a lot of fans sniping on the
Inte= rnet about those who control=20
the franchise now and have let it degrade. Early on, the word on this
movi= e was generally positive.=20=20
The script was leaked onto the Internet (I did look but did not find it),
a= nd based on that, many=20
people gave the upcoming movie a positive spin. Now with the movie in the
= theatres, the reviews=20
have not been as kind. To the reviewers, some of whom are "Star
Trek" fans=
and some of whom are=20
not, the movie seemed to cover old ground. It was like "Star Trek II:
The = Wrath of Khan" done again=20
using Picard and his nemesis, a clone of himself named Shinzon, and better
= special effects. Of=20
course, the charm of "Star Trek II" was that it featured a return
of a neme= sis of Kirk in Khan, who=20
appeared in one of the series episodes. Shinzon just drops out of nowhere
= in this movie.
The special effects were pretty good, although the sets were darkly lit at=
times and=20
sometimes the distorted voices were hard to understand. A couple of key
mo= ments of dialogue=20
were lost because I could not follow the words. The movie introduced the
R= emans, who were the=20
occupants of the other class-M planet in the system. They are clearly not
= Romulans, as they live on=20
a planet that keeps the same face to the sun, forcing the inhabitants to
li= ve on the far side of the=20
planet. It is possible that the Remans are in fact the enslaved population=
from either another planet=20
or perhaps the original inhabitants of Romulus. They were enslaved when
th= e Romulans arrived=20
and took over. The problem is that the Romulans portrayed their two
homewo= rlds as that, two=20
livable, inhabitable planets (so much so that in my interpretation of the
"= Star Trek" universe, I have=20
used Remus and so the events of "Nemesis" could not have
happened), and not=
as shown in the=20
movie. This aspect of Remus, and the Remians, was dropped into the movie
a= s well without any=20
prior establishment. The movie continued to introduce new concepts to move=
the plot along,=20
including yet another variation of the unstoppable weapon. This time, it
w= as some kind of radiation=20
that when released quickly turned everybody to stone. It was used to wipe
= out the Romulan senate=20
and to allow Picard's clone to take over at the gunpoint of the Remans and
= the Romulan military,=20
who were given a chance to invade the Federation as an incentive. What was=
that about?
It would have been much better to use established storylines, established =
technology and=20
perhaps an alien or protagonist with a history. That is part of what made
= "Star Trek: The Final=20
Frontier" a better movie, in that it brought back an established alien race=
and made use of the=20
backstory from the series. This one made no such use. Perhaps if the
scre= enwriter had gone into=20
the series and found a situation in which the Romulans could have gotten a
= sample of Picard's DNA,=20
so much the better. If they could have fitted in a more plausible story,
i= t might have been better.=20=20
They really did not need to damage continuity by introducing the Remans.
P= erhaps a slave=20
population, perhaps a degenerate Romulan group forced to work in the dark,
= or something that=20
might have worked. Instead, Logan did the time-honoured "Star
Trek" thing = and drop in a totally new=20
situation. This story could have happened anytime in the Trek run. It
cou= ld have been any of the=20
movies, or it could have been a two-part episode. About the only bit of
co= ntinuity was that Riker and=20
Troi finally got married-and sometimes I thought that was an excuse for bad=
jokes about Betazoid=20
weddings in terms of the second half of the marriage ceremony, on Betazed. =
It did not build on what=20
came before, and I think that was part of the problem.
A related problem was that the editing job was severe on this movie. I ne=
ver read the script,=20
but I will likely read the book, which should have the full story. Many
im= portant scenes-and even=20
Wesley Crusher's cameo-were dropped for a lack of time, and other scenes
we= re cut as well.=20=20
Apparently, as much as thirty minutes was dropped, thirty minutes which is
= likely to find its way back=20
into an "extended version" of the DVD, and those thirty minutes
might have = been needed to fill out=20
the stories. Paramount wanted to get this movie down to around two hours,
= as they might feel that=20
two and a half hours of "Star Trek" is too much for one sitting.
Other mov= ies get along just fine at=20
that length, and apparently the upcoming "Lord of the Rings: The Two
Towers= " is three hours long.=20=20
This decision was not something I understand.
Another problem, to go along with the technobabble and the implausible bat=
tle scenes, were=20
all the silly scenes. What exactly was the purpose of taking that
twenty-f= ourth century dune buggy=20
for a spin? First of all, they drop in the convenient presence of the ion
= storm that prevents=20
transporter use (which makes me wonder why an ion storm never goes through
= the solar system, as=20
they seem to pop up anywhere the plot needs the crew to not use the
transpo= rter). Instead of the=20
standard Trek approach of using a shuttle to check each of the six sites to=
find the pieces of the=20
Data-like android, they use the dune buggy. That led to a scene where the
= dune buggy was being=20
attacked by a bunch of the natives. It did nothing for the story but to
es= tablish that people can walk=20
around with big, deadly weapons and miss. Where the aliens that
incompeten= t? Did the dune=20
buggy have shields? Then, to top it off, Data uses the shuttle by remote
c= ontrol, parks it off a cliff=20
and the fly over the gap and all but crash land in the dune buggy bay on
th= e shuttle? That ranks=20
among the saddest "Star Trek" scenes I have ever seen, in the
same vein as = Kirk falling off that=20
mountain and Spock rocketing down to rescue him "Star Trek V" and
Data bust= ing some vital=20
component in engineering by slamming his arms into it in "The Final
Frontie= r." Later on in the movie,=20
Picard flies a small Reman fighter craft through the corridors of the Reman=
ship and out through=20
some big bay window. It was stupid enough to make me cringe in my seat.
I= t gets worse. The=20
Enterprise and the Reman ship battle each other to a draw, it seems,
leavin= g the Reman ship only=20
able to deploy its superweapon. Picard does not want that weapon used, so
= he has one choice left,=20
ram the alien ship. Ultimately, it serves no purpose but to exploit
specia= l effects technology, and not=20
very well either. Picard chooses this approach so that he would not appear=
predictable to his clone.=20=20
Personally, I think that the collision would result in the destruction of
b= oth ships. The momentum of=20
the impact was simply too great, and even with structural integrity fields
= and inertial dampers and the=20
rest, that would be too much.
The worst add-on came at the end of the movie. Data had gone across space=
to the alien=20
ship by being shot through a breach in the hull, a scene that was
believabl= e, except that when he=20
stopped, Data should have done some damage to himself. He got onto the
ali= en bridge, just as a=20
very angry Picard was shooting lots of people and somehow not getting shot
= himself. This is one of=20
the reasons why I like forcefield belts and why they pop up in
"Athena" sto= ries. Now the bad guys=20
shooting back do not have to be so unbelievably inaccurate with their
shoot= ing. The good guys can=20
take hits and survive. Anyway, Picard and Shinzon do their inevitable hand=
-to-hand duel (which was=20
something that did not happen in "Star Trek II"), and in the end,
Picard is=
able to pull off the wall or=20
bend a piece of metal that was otherwise sturdy enough to pierce right
thro= ugh Shinzon. He=20
dragged himself along the pole to confront Picard one last time, and
seemin= gly tried to choke the=20
captain, who was apparently not very concerned. Perhaps he knew that the
w= ound to Shinzon was=20
fatal and it was only a matter of time. Along came Data, who pushed aside
= the pole and Shinzon=20
like so much debris and slapped something on Picard. Was it a special
tran= sporter transponder or a=20
full-fledged transporter? Prior to that, Geordi said that all transporters=
were off-line after beaming=20
Picard over to the alien ship. Unless this special device was attached to
= a transporter system that=20
could only be used by it, then that commbadge-sized thing was a
full-fledge= d transporter. I do not=20
think so. I can buy a special transponder, but a full-fledged transporter?=
Sorry, no. Data, of course,=20
fires the weapon into the alien superweapon-which takes a convenient
seven-= plus minutes to=20
destroy, some superweapon-and that destroys the alien ship-and himself.
Da= ta dies in this one.=20=20
Brent Spiner, the actor that plays him, had wanted to leave the role, as he=
felt he was getting too old=20
to play the ageless android. There is a little sadness in the end, as the
= Enterprise somehow crawls=20
back to Earth (thank the designers who did not put the deflector array at
t= he very front of the ship)=20
where it was repaired. Riker-after fifteen years a first officer, perhaps
= a Starfleet record-finally=20
gets his promotion to captain, or at least a promotion that he accepts. He=
became the first officer on=20
the Titan. Supposedly, they were going to show this new ship at the end,
a= nd unless it was the=20
vessel in the drydock at the end (the name was not clear), they did not.
T= he next "Trek" feature=20
could well feature Riker and some established characters and a bunch of new=
ones and be set on=20
the Titan. A movie-only series, accompanied perhaps with novels, might be
= a good way to go.
Overall, I would rate the movie at three on a scale out of five, adding po=
ints for the special=20
effects and giving at least cameo-like appearances to the rest of the
ensem= ble, and the nice-looking=20
Romulan ships, as well as the view of the Romulan capital. I would take
po= ints away for the rushed=20
ending and the overbearing music, which was effective in the opening but
no= t otherwise, and I took=20
more points away for the technobabble, the newly-introduced conveniences
an= d the overall story=20
and the silly aspects of it (did I mention how this movie proves it is bad
= to have the bridge on deck=20
one, and yet that one shot did not do the damage it should have. Should
th= e bridge itself not have=20
at least a double hull?). As a writer of fan fiction, I did sit in the
the= atre and on several situations,=20
ask myself, "would I ever write such a scene? Could I make my
characters d= o that?" In most cases,=20
I do not believe I would. Logic and reasonableness just seem to be a part
= of the stories I try to write.=20=20 On the other hand, some of the
aspects of this movie appeared in "Athena" s= tories, such as the
big=20
climatic battle that leaves the ship damaged, forcing it to return home for=
repairs, and in the end, the=20
first officer gives his "it was a pleasure to serve with you,
captain" spee= ch before going off on his (or=20
her) own command. Sometimes, "Star Trek" minds think alike.
With the reviews generally bad, the hard-core Trek fans were about the onl=
y ones who went=20
to see this movie on the opening weekend. The box office take was the
lowe= st of any "Star Trek"=20
opening ever, and when adjusted for inflation, it was even worse than "Star=
Trek V." The movie=20
finished second to a romantic comedy piece of crap called "Maid In
Manhatta= n," which stars Jennifer=20
Lopez and got worse reviews than "Nemesis." With "The Two
Towers" opening = just two days from=20
now, "Nemesis" could do a fast fade-which was why I saw it. I
doubt I have=
ever seen a movie on=20
its fourth day of release. It was two weeks after opening before I
saw"Sta= r Wars" this past summer.=20=20
Even four days in, the theatre was nearly empty, with perhaps twelve people=
in the audience. Like=20
the demographics suggested, the vast majority of the audience were men over=
twenty-five, and I=20
suspect the two women present were dragged along by their boyfriends or
hus= bands. Also like=20
other "Trek" movies but unlike most others, a lot of people saw
this movie = by themselves instead of=20
in groups of two or more. As for the next movie to see in the theatres,
on= e of the trailers showed an=20
upcoming movie called "The Core," which looks interesting-the
moviemakers a= re back to blowing=20
up iconic buildings again!

The following is my rather lengthy
review of the

BR>******* Today,
I saw the second movie of the year in the theatres, "Star Trek:

1998. That movie did not do all that well in the box

"Gladiator"), although Logan is a fan and knows the

even an appearance of Data's cat Spot. Others I might
