Attack of the clones

Advantages: Seeing the Enterprise in more glory than before
Disadvantages: Saying goodbye to favourite characters

Nemisis, the tenth outing for Star Trek and the last for the 'Next Generation' crew and captain. The story centres around the takeover of the Romulan Empire by the Remuns.... a servile race to the Romulans who spend most of their lives underground working in mines or in slavery...all in the dark. They have proven to be formidable warriors however, as they have supported the ground war against the Dominion. This film is a great end to the Next generation ...
...in death or to other assignments. The wekest bit I felt in this film was Picard et al, driving around on a desert planet....seemed a bit silly to me, surely there was an easier way to find their precious cargo! The Jean Luc Picard centre piece to the story is great and it is interesting to see and note how Picard copes with addressing the demons in his character and also...how he acknowledges that he has become 'safe'. The battle scenes are great ...

Review of Star Trek - Nemesis (DVD)

Season 3 of TNG - Where it really kicked off

Advantages: Really stepping up from season 2 will great episodes
Disadvantages: Not too many special features included

...think that season 3 of Star Trek The Next Generation is where the show really came into its own and started to cast off the shadow left by the original series. Season 3 has some terrific science fiction stories told with classic episodes like "Yesterday's Enterprise", "The Defector", "Best Of Both Worlds Part I" and "Sarek" which sees Mark Lenard return as Spocks father. There are 26 episodes this season which last roughly 44 minutes each and for ...
...as with a lot of Star Trek The Next Generation most of the episodes are self contained so will not require a lot of pre-existing knowledge or having to watch previous seasons. I will however recommend buying season 4 aswell as the end cliffhanger from season 3 in "Best Of Both Worlds" is widely considered one of the best in science fiction still after all these years. Main Cast List: Captain Picard - Patrick Stewart Commander Riker - Jonathon ...

Star Trek 6: rediscovering the basics!

Advantages: Great Entertainment
Disadvantages: Too many shakspearian references

My reviews of the Star Trek movies continue with this brilliant instalment which see's a further change in direction which you can feel to an even greater extent than was apparent in the transition from Star Trek IV to Star Trek V. Clearly having suffered the indignation of a comparatively unsuccessful movie that was Star Trek V, Paramount have decided to "come home" by re-introducing Nicholas Meyer as the director of this Cold War of the future ...
...Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and a fine job he did too. He's well and truly back and every scene has his name written all over it. The plot of this film relates to the breaking down of barriers between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. But its more than that, it's a struggle for survival for the Klingons, a struggle to forgive for Captain James T. Kirk who's son's life was taken by a Klingon in Star Trek III: The Search ...

Review of Star Trek 6 : The Undiscovered Country (DVD)

The last in the Star Trek movie series... so far

Advantages: The 'Next Generation' crew all return
Disadvantages: Poor storyline

The 10th film in the STAR TREK movie series, NEMESIS is also the final one to date, and is the 4th to feature the 'Next Generation' crew, led by Captain Picard, played by Patrick Stewart. The film sees a Romulan clone of Picard's, called Shinzon, seek revenge and threaten the destruction of the Federation with a powerful new weapon. Shinzon is played by Tom Hardy, most recently seen as Bill Sikes in BBC's new adaptation of OLIVER TWIST, broadcast ...
...Kirk's nemesis in the second Star Trek movie, but unfortunately the character comes across simply as virtually a pantomime villain. Patrick Stewart and the rest of the regular cast perform admirably in the face of a poor script, and the character progression that Data has gone through in the previous films is taken to its final conclusion in a scene which (although I won't spoil it here) had me shouting at the screen that the filmmakers would make ...

Review of Star Trek 10 - Nemesis (DVD)

To boldly go again!

Advantages: Lots of Star Trek Episodes all in the same box!
Disadvantages: None!

...others. The case resembles something Star Trek like, futuristic metal in appearance and totally cool! The Trek Logo is on the sides of the box and the number three on the edge so you can see it immediately when reaching for it on the shelf, below STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION down the side in caps. The case opens from the top to expose a silver box - DVD size - inside a purple inlay with STAR TREK and the logo embossed onto it. The box is in ...
