Nothing like a good villain to energize the franchise.

The excitement comes from Frakes's direction.
07/31/02
A nicely constructed science-fiction film, with a simple premise, a charismatic villain and a good back-story to enhance the action.
06/18/02
First Contact is often great fun and is never less than watchable; it will positively delight legions of Trek fans.
06/05/02
This is one of the best Star Treks ever.
04/17/02
Blessed with clever plot devices and a villainous horde that makes the once-dread Klingons seem like a race of Barneys, First Contact does everything you'd want a Star Trek film to do, and it does it with cheerfulness and style.

Top CriticOne of the best so far in what seems to be a never-ending science fiction saga.

Top CriticIf you don't already know and enjoy Star Trek, this is nothing more than another passable science fiction film. If you are a fan of The Next Generation, then you'll enjoy this one.
01/01/00
One of the better entries in the Trek movie series, thanks to the most memorable villains from the Next Generation television series: the Borg
01/01/00
A thoroughly enjoyable visit with the crew of TV’s Star Trek: The Next Generation.
01/01/00
The most exciting entry in the Trek franchise since the The Wrath Of Khan.
01/01/00
This is a film that all the millions of Star Trek fans will treasure as one of the best in the now eight-film history of this hopeful future myth.
01/01/00
It's a great movie, and a great story.
01/01/00
Following in the wake of a trio of disappointing features, First Contact proves to be the most entertaining Star Trek in more than a decade.
01/01/00
Even if you don't count yourself as trekkie you should see it.
01/01/00
Deftly combining parts of Alien, Moby Dick and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, First Contact starts quickly and doesn't let up.
