Pros: SFX, good plot premise, acting generaly good, some of the humour works...
Cons: ... while some doesn't, cheesy while trying not to be, implausible plot
Following the extremely disappointing Generations (ST7), we were expecting this, the eight Star Trek film, to be a lot better. (In case you managed to miss it or haven’t seen many of the films, all the off numbered Star Trek films up to 7 were ...

Pros: great story premise, decent acting, some genuine humor, good effects
Cons: some contradiction to original Star Trek, fast becomes the Picard & Data movie
Star Trek: First Contact a.k.a. Star Trek 8 left me with mixed feelings. While parts of it are incredibly well-written and well-acted, the drawbacks of this movie are what we began seeing a glimpse of in Star...

Pros: Excellent story, plenty of action.
Cons: Not very many, plenty of fun for Star Trek fans.
Judging from the title, you might think that I don't like this one. In reality, I love this one of the long running ST series. Coming between the so-so Generations and the abysmal Insurrection, this one stuck to the formula, gave it a few...

Pros: Fast-paced story, great effects and score, Cromwell and Woodward.
Cons: Will Star Trek films ever STOP being Picard/Data stories?
Even though Star Trek: Generations was a good first entry in The Next Generation era of feature films, it wasn't until Rick Berman, Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga wrote Star Trek: First Contact's story and screenplay that Captain Picard (Patrick ...

Pros: Borg Queen, Themes, New Ship, Music, Alfre Woodard
Cons: Characterization, Space Battle...
....There was just something about her slimy sexiness and those wires coming out of her skull that made her yum-yum-yummy!!!
I used to like the Borg. More than I do now. In their first two appearances on the Next Generation, they were truly...

Pros: The Next Generation Crew Returning in a great movie!
Cons: Too Rushed, Non-Trekkies will not "get" a lot of the plot
Being a Trekkie all of my life, I looked with grand anticipation to the release of Star Trek: First Contact. I have always loved the characters of Star Trek: The Next Generation and to see my favorite actors again was another dream true....

Pros:
Great pacing and editing, fun, good acting
Cons:
Not as much fun for a non-trekkie
This is the 8th Star Trek movie and since it is an even number it has to be a good movie. (so that means number 11 coming out soon should suck?) In fact this happens to be my second favorite out of the 10 films produced to date And had you told me ...

Pros: Action, acting, story.
Cons: Requires knowledge of Star Trek series.
This weekend, after watching last few episodes of ST:Voyager season 3 in which The Borg has appeared, I decided to refresh my memory about them so "First contact" seamed like a good place to start. This is movie number 8 in Star Trek movie series and ...

Pros: Borg, time travel, acting, tie-ins
Cons: Convoluted
Okay, so not quite. The thing about this movie is that I can remember seeing it in 1996--wow. Was it really that long ago? Amazing. I can remember that, as a teenager, I really insisted that I had to go, sick though I was, and so I really ended up ...

by silentrascal , Nov 23 '02
Pros: Lots of action, suspense, and excitement. Good storyline.
Cons: Scenes on Earth were pretty dull. Space battle was way too short.
When the time came for the mantle to pass from one generations of Trekkers to the next, "Star Trek Generations" (as a film) really didn't cut it and was quite disappointing. Thankfully that was remedied with "Star Trek: First Contact", truly the best...

by busby777 , Mar 11 '08
Pros: acting, action, suspense, expertly weaves several story line together
Cons: this is really just an extra long episode of the series, rather predictable ending
Captain Kirk is dead, alas! He died in the previous movie, Star Trek: Generations, and this gives the Next Generation a chance to go out on their own for the first movie that does not involve anybody from the original Star Trek series. Star ...

Pros: the Borg are an intriguing villain
Cons: frequent plot holes, hogwash socialist message
I am not a Star Trek fan. In fact prior to renting this movie I had only seen a handful of Capt Kirk era reruns.
One day not too long ago, I was talking to a friend of mine, Ryan, who apparently is a closet star trek fanatic. In the midst of a group...

by mickp - Top 1000, Sep 08 '00
Pros: Wonderful effects. One of the better Trek "baddies" in the shape of The Borg. Exciting and never dull
Cons: A bit "quiet" in the musical soundtrack department. Predictable. I just can't stand some of the STTNG crew
The Star Trek: The Next Generation crew have never been something I have embraced with open arms. I remember being absolutely indignant when the series first began. Captain Kirk and the crew could never be replaced! While other Star Trek...
