| The beginning of the Star Trek story line..... |
I watched the original episodes and watched most of TNG and when they ended. I felt DS9, Voyager and Enterprise were nothing but a bunch of spin off meaning the title (star trek being used in each of them). I didn't understand DS9 and Voyager at the time and didn't follow Enterprise.
It wasn't until later when I've collected them all! Every single star trek episode and movie to date that I realized it's telling one big story.
Which bring me to this movie. I now consider this film being the first episode in the story I mean. I'm sure a lot of you have seen it already if you haven't you won't understand the series Enterprise. I HOPE THIS GRABS YOUR GUYS ATTENTION!! I'll continue with my review on Enterprise season one |

| Brilliant installment of the franchise! |
Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his crew (Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates Mcfadden, and Marina Sirtus) have been given orders not to interfer in the battle between the Borg ship and the Federatuib ship. But the sinister Borg race with their sexy leader (Alice Krige) have a dastardly plan to go back in time so they can enslave the human race on Earth in the 21st century, the Enterprise follows them as their only chance in stopping the borg is to find the creator of warp drive known as Zefram Cochran (James Cromwell) and his assistant Lily (Alfe Woodard) and stop the Borg's plan.
The greatest ST sequel since "Wraith of Khan" and yet the most satisyfying! The acting and special effects are fantastic, the storyline is well constructed and director/actor Jonathan Frakes has really made the movie into one of the best sci-fi movies ever. Ms. Krige is quite a dish for a cybernetic villainess in this movie, Jerry Goldsmith's score soars high as one of his best and is the best film of the Next Generation part of the ST franchise, a real winner in my books.
This 2-Disc DVD set contains excellent sound and picture that is better then the original DVD all the way! extras include audio commentaries, Text Commentary from Denise and Michael Okuda, Teasers and Trailers, Scene deconstruction, A tribute to Jerry Goldsmith and featurettes. |

| Best of a disappointing film series |
The crew of the Enterprise-E pursues a Borg ship back in time to foil their plan to change human history by preventing mankind's first contact with another species. This adventure is the best of the generally underwhelming Next Generation films, with good solid action and a fast-moving plot. Still, my general criticism of these films remains--they all feel like expanded episodes of the TV series. I really wish they had taken the opportunity to take these characters into new territory like the Original Series films did. Even if they split up the crew, I'm sure that a talented writer could have devised stories that would have required them to come back together every couple years or so. |
