Consensus: Nemesis has an interesting premise and some good action scenes, but the whole affair feels a bit tired.

Runtime: 1 hr 56 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

In STAR TREK: NEMESIS, based on the STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION television series, the USS Enterprise is gearing up for a challenging mission. While responding to a call from the Romulan neutral zone, the crew comes across a signal on the nearby planet Remus. It turns out to be Data's (Brent Spiner) less advanced brother, B-4 (also played by Spiner). Soon thereafter, Picard is confronted by Shinzon (Tom Hardy), who makes an offer of peace on behalf of the Romulans. As Starfleet enters into negotiations, they realize this treaty may have a twist. Shinzon presents himself as a clone of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), and as a simultaneous friend and foe. Though the baby faced Shinzon wears an intimidating shiny black metallic suit of armor, and spits his words through a nasty sneer, he is clearly no match for Picard. Meanwhile Data has a nifty side project debugging his clone, whose intentions are not as innocent as they may seem. As tension mounts between the crew of the Starship Enterprise and Shinzon's Reman minions, resulting in riveting high-tech deep-space battle, a vital sacrifice must be made to save the day. STAR TREK: NEMESIS's shocking ending will leave viewers hanging, anxiously awaiting the next installment in the series. [More]

The geek exodus from Star Trek will continue with this middling movie, a cheapo space battle that has all the cool allure of a disco-dancing Dad.

A thinly plotted, anonymously directed film.

The outcome is as professionally crafted as ever, but the material feels learnt by rote.

A movie that blandly goes where too many Star Trek pictures have gone before.

It doesn’t deliver anything new to the series, and even fans might find parts distinctly slow, but it finally hits most of the right buttons.

Hardy's pout and baldie glare are high-quality stage-trained British Hollywood fiendishness and, like the Borg Queen, he seems to have taken his fashion tips from Clive Barker's Cenobites.

It simply doesn't have the sharp inventiveness and insight we usually associate with the franchise.

Without an intriguing adversary for Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and crew, it's all for naught.

Even though the special effects are as well executed as ever, the story doesn’t excite or even allow us to really believe the premise.

Tinkers around with an intriguing premise but with little creative facility for dialogue or structure...[splits] the difference between fans and neophytes, impressing neither.
