Before we start on the Star Treks ‘Epic’, First Contact, it is important to point out that the Special Edition of this movie isn’t available on region two until the 25th of April this year. The review I am giving is on the region one version that is available to buy NOW. All the special features of the movie etc are listed below ‘The Movie’ section.

Advantages: Picard, Data, the Borg, what else could you possibly need Disadvantages: the Direction is a little naivety
...the whole crew from the Star Trek: The Next Generation series return. This time they are in the new and vastly improved Enterprise-E1 which just looks incredibly stylish.
As the film begins we find that a Borg cube2 has entered federation3 space. A fleet is dispatched to protect earth; the Enterprise is not included though. However, when the battle begins it goes badly and the enterprise is sent it.
Destroying the cube is only the beginning, ...

We Are The Borg... Review ofStar Trek - First Contact DVDby
frankplummer
Advantages: Gripping, Good Twists, Lots of Special Features Disadvantages: Non-Trekkies may find it Confusing
...my personal favourite to the Star Trek collection of films, and it has a reason for being so, too. The film starts off with the Captain waking from a dream, worried about his past expiriences with the Borg. Stumbling onto the bridge, he recieves word from Starfleet about a Borg threat coming to Earth. He is faced with a decision that he must make...
The film itself is fantastic, with one of the best plots in Star Trek films I have seen. In this ...

Advantages: Good balance of action, humour and SF. Very good picture and sound quality. Entertaining and informative commentaries and extras. Disadvantages: Quite heavy in continuity to previous Borg episodes of the TV series.
...change Earth's (or at least Star Trek's) history, Captain Picard must follow them to make sure that they do not prevent the founding of the Federation. This brings the Enterprise to the early 22nd century, recovering after a nuclear war, and into a meeting with Zephram Cochrane, the guy who is due to invent warp drive and make first contact (see what they're doing with the title there?) with the Vulcans.
This is part Star Trek as hero-worship, ...

Advantages: The 'Next Generation' crew get a film to themselves Disadvantages: None
STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT is the 8th in the 'Star Trek' movie series, and the 2nd to feature the 'Next Generation' crew, led by Captain Picard. The storyline has the crew having to travel back in time from the 24th to the 21st century in order to stop the Borg from assimilating the Earth and changing the future from the course it should be on.
This is a much more exciting film than the previous instalment, 'Generations'. Each member of the crew ...

Advantages: The BEST Star Trek film ever made Disadvantages: Haven't found any
I remember the first time I ever saw this film and right from the opening sequences I was on the edge of my seat, Drawn right into the film with the floor vibrating because of the surround sound as the Enterprise NCC1701-E flying on screen I knew this would be a great film and all the way through I was not disappionted.
With the best bad guys ever created for a trek series it was a film full of scares, thrills, excitement, drama and of course Worf's ...

Advantages: intense detail, colour and quality viewing Disadvantages: educational factoids to trekkie fans
This saga in the next generation series is one of hero worship against surviving obstacles. The world 'as we know it' was not yet
formed for the next generation crew and that way of life is of cross-
purposes. The creator of warp drive is not a saint or walks on water;
but he has warts an all feelings and attitudes which are hard to take
by our intrepid crew. He does not fit the script; nor does the aliens
that are coming to see them. It is a ...
