Well, Robert caught me writing an email to a friend about this movie, and that, apparently, means that I must “blog” about it. This “blogging” is obviously very important to Robert since he is willing to give up the computer to let me do it.
Anyway, about the movie, I am one of those people who suffered from STDS (Star Trek Deprivation Syndrome) as a child, but I greatly enjoyed the movie “Star Trek: Nemesis.” It’s not the best movie in the galaxy; in fact, it’s definitely got it’s cheesy, Star Trek/Sci-fi moments, but it was quite enjoyable. It contained a healthy portion of what I like in Sci-fi movies - insight into human nature - as well as some good action. It was also a little darker than most Star Trek movies/episodes.
Some of the more recent Star Trek movies were directed by one of the cast, Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker), but this one is directed by Stuart Baird, who directed “Executive Decision” and “U.S. Marshals.” Nemesis is as much a dark action movie as it is a sci-fi movie, so you don\’t have to be a Sci-fi nerd or even a regular nerd to like it. The director even admitted that he’s never really watched the show or the movies except as a quick review in order to make this movie! He wanted it to appeal to people who had not seen the show, and I think he accomplished that.
