The sacrifice of a beloved character is just one of many highlights in Nemesis, the 10th feature in the lucrative Star Trek franchise. Enigmatically billed as the beginning of "A Generation's Final Journey," this richly plotted Next Generation adventure maintains the "even number rule" regarding Trek's feature quality, and it's one of the best in the series. It hits its brisk stride when Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his Enterprise-E crew encounter Shinzon (Tom Hardy), a younger clone of Picard, rejected by the Romulans as the human weapon of an abandoned conspiracy. Raised on the nocturnal Romulan sister planet Remus, Shinzon now plots revenge against Romulus and Earth but needs Picard's blood to carry out his scheme. A wedding, a childlike "duplicate" Data named B-4 (Brent Spiner), spectacular space battles, and uncommon acts of valor make this a tautly-paced action thriller, poised to pass the franchise (but not quite yet) to a new generation of Starfleet personnel. Die-hard Trekkers will not be disappointed. --Jeff Shannon

Basically the item came at the last possible moment. Also the item I got was supposed to be a widescreen dvd. That is what the case even said when we got it. ... It ended up being a full screen dvd, which was not what we wanted, but its not worth shipping to return it!

The Star Trek franchise temporarily died after this movie was released. This happened for a good reason and I wish it had stayed that way. Nememis emulated TWOK too much and relied on a week Romulan villain with a really big ship. I am so glad Star Trek 2009 was nothing like this film (sarcasm).
Data's death was stupid and at that point I really didn't care. If there had been a sequel, he would have came back in B-4. Thus, the Wrath of Khan like Nemesis would have been followed by a movie similar to The Search for Spock. Lame!
 Star Trek: The Wrath of Baird March 3, 2009
Ryan D. Peterson (Orem, UT USA)
There are good action sequences here, many with tenuous reasons behind them. The special effects are done well enough. The story had the promise of galactic scope and great import to the audience. But there aren't nearly enough true character moments or Star Trek level humor to carry this one off in the minds of the viewers. True, Picard and Data have a lot of "character moments" where they get introspective and philosophical, but since those moments are brought out merely as the story forces them to re-evaluate their lives, they are more plot element than character points.
One of the elements that contributes to the problems with this movie is the fact that it is directed by Stuart Baird, a film editor and a Star Trek neophyte. Granted, this is not the first time Star Trek has used "less experienced" directors. Star Treks III, V, Generations, and First Contact were all directed by people who were doing their first ever feature film, and Star Trek II was only Nicholas Meyer's second directorial outing ever. So lack of directorial experience is not necessarily insurmountable, but it is not encouraging.
Also, Nicholas Meyer too was a Star Trek neophyte when brought on to direct II. However he delved into Star Trek to better understand it and realistically portray it on screen. In contrast, Baird reportedly reveled in his lack of Star Trek knowledge and insisted on simply making the movie he wanted.
The script was written by John Logan, a Star Trek fan and the writer of the screenplays for "Gladiator", "Any Given Sunday" and "The Aviator". So the story should have worked better than it ultimately does. There is a great movie to be made here out of this story. But it just doesn't satisfy like it should. (Me, I blame the director.)
If you want to watch a Star Trek movie, go with II, VI or First Contact. Only watch this one if you want an action movie with a Star Trek theme.
 Better Than an average Trek Film January 25, 2009
Kenith Anthony Gulick (Rising Sun, MD United States)
The only reason this movie failed in theatres is because they released it the week of Lord of the Rings: Two Towers. People always bag that this was the death sigh of the Star Trek franchise. I disagree. The most beloved film of the Trek motion pictures is Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. This is almost the blueprint of that movie as far as action goes and petty "Trek fans" hated it?? Come on people. Sure there are some little inconsitensies, such as how did Wesley Crusher make it to the wedding when he was transended somewhere with The Traveller? But he didn't even have a line in the movie. And I am sure somewhere in the Trek novel verse there is a story behind it. Come on fans, we get an epic space battle, the Captain getting involved in some air and wheel action. And the death of a major character with a very "Spock" cliffhanger at the end! SO all you fans out there, don't discount this movie as right up there with the other NextGen films. And those who will see the new "reimagined" Star Trek movie, pick this up and just enjoy it.

Disc was brand new. Good seller. Not the best star trek movie out of all of them, but still a good buy.
