I was happy with the product. Nothing was wrong with it and it worked great.
Would you tell him all about his future exploits. Or when you find out he likes to drink moonshine, '60s rock, and only invented Warp Drive for the money, what would you think of him then. but right now wanted to tell ya, this is one of Paramount's better Star Trek films before they later gave up on the franchise (until 2009). Gosh, I had no idea he did the music for Voyager, Star Trek The Motion Picture, and ALIEN. Kinda like finding out George Washington had black slaves, that kinda thing. WOW. Deanna Troy getting tipsy was fun; Data apparently being lured by the Dark Side (sex); and Picard's obsession with the Borg being in line with Melville's obsession with Moby Dick (plus a quote from the book).
Yummy. Nice direction from Frakes and a good way to wrap up the Next Gen. The second DVD has various Trekkie things, such as Jerry Goldsmith tribute. I'll be adding to this review (when I get the DVD). The better aspects of this film: What would you do with a historic figure. The Borg finally get blasted out of space. Everything's going fine until a big Borg ball comes flying out towards Earth, spitting out "tachyon particles" which we Trekkers know means time travel.
What else you should beam up to your Wish List, Scotty: Star Trek II - The Wrath of KhanStar Trek Movie Set (The Motion Picture/ The Wrath of Khan/ The Search for Spock/ The Voyage Home/ The Final Frontier/ The Undiscovered Country/ Generations/ First Contact/ Insurrection/ Nemesis)Star Trek - Nemesis (Widescreen Edition)
The story continues in an on going conflict with the Borg and is exceptionally layed out in a great story concept. The effects, the directing, and the music scores all tie together to make this Star Trek epic a collectible to view over and over again. This Star Trek film was the best one I have seen altogether. Jonathan Frakes definitely knows how to direct a Star Trek film and knows what the fans want to see through his eyes. He did great. I loved this one very much. I recommend this one for all Trek fans to buy.
All the things that make, or have made, Star Trek such a long-standing success are contained in this film: The marvellous interaction of the characters and cast with each other. The 2nd disc contains hours and hours of extras which are well worth watching. Decisions that affect the future of humanity, a moral quality which may ultimately be the way forward for us all, and as with all the best Star Trek films and TV shows time travel.
You can see from the interviews on the extras disc the enthusiasm of all those involved in the making of the film. Of course I realise that 'a moral quality' sounds horribly pretentious, and in reality this is just a film that will have no affect on mankinds future (or lack of it). This is by far the best of the Next Generation Star Trek films and probably second only to 'Star Trek IV The Voyage Home' in terms of all the Star Trek films.
However, I will say that here you get an excellent story, which is well directed by Jonathan Frakes, and above all a marvellous leading performance by Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean Luc Picard. Its almost a direct continuation of the TNG episodes "The Best of Both Worlds" in which Jean Luc Picard is assimalated by the Borg. The story has been told by many other reviewers, so I will not repeat that.
So forget about that and watch a cracking film.
They are quite menacing (and it's about time they stopped bringing up the Klingons). And it ties in a lot of aspects from the TV shows to create a coherent plot. Also an original and refreshing look at the history of the saga, involving the guy who invented Warp Drive.*Characters are good. It's probably the best film done by the Next Generation crew, and is certainly worthwhile watching.The one-disc version had good video and sound quality. Picard shows a great deal of pain and compassion.*Writing is good.*Music is good.The Bad Things*Ummm.To start with, this film has some of the best action and battle scenes in the series. It also boasts some immersive drama, comedy, and suspense. The Good Things*Excellent action and special effects.
The Borg make for the best bad guys of the series. The opening battle scene is probably the best of the series.*Filming style is good.*The storyline is good. Includes a great deal of excitement, comedy, and drama.*Incorporates a good deal of stuff from the Star Trek universe. The two-disc version still has good quality, and has a number of featurettes and trailers.
