DVD Reviews of Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection (First Contact / Generations / Insurrection / Nemesis)
DVD Review: minus 1 Star for the Crapy Generations movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Great set and price.
Here's my reviews on the movies......
GENERATIONS:
I never thot I'd give Star Trek a 1 star.
First off #1.........the NEXUS......supposed to be this great thing, fun, wonderful....yet.....WHY.....why did that starship while caught in the nexus send out a distress call for help? They were in the nexus, then many were bemed off the nexus, yanked away it was awful for them, they wanted to stay there, but oh, there was that distress call, whatever.
#2. That dude kept killing stars to alter the projectory of the nexus to fly right over him, killing MILLIONS in the process. Why didnt he just get a shuttlecraft or any ship and fly into the dang thing? Or fly in close and beem himslef into it? I mean why got through all the drama of detroying stars and planets?
#3. While in the Nexus you can chose to leave at any time and go to anywhere and anytime....yet Picard gets in there and immediately wants to leave and take Kirk with him.....whats the rush? You can leave a 1000 years later and still go back to the exact same time you want to go to.
#4. Why does Picard then chose to go back to the planet with Kirk and kill this guy? why not go back to when he first rescued the ship in distress and passed that guy in the hallway? Could have saved millions of lives.
Just a idiotic written movie, a disgreace really when you think of all the flaws in it.
The series finale with Q would have made a awesome movie and this script should have been seriously
re-written or shelved.
====One last Flaw.....on the Series of next generation where they find Scottie, he asks if Kirk was up to his rescue...yet....he was there when Kirk Died and went into the nexus, so why then would he ask such a stupid question when he knew Kirk died??? Having made this movie AFTER that episode and knowing Scottie asked if kirk was in charge of the rescue, they needed to re-write the first scene or just not have Scottie present and we'd then think he was then stuck in the transporter loop. having known this flaw, the writers just ignores this and proceeds anyways!
Just Horrible!!!!!!
FIRST CONTACT: Loved it, No complaints, Great Movie.
Insurrection: Loved it, Great Movie.
Nemesis: Overall, enjoyed it, but one thing that always ticks me is that they can never kill off any character without giving a backdoor to come back! I mean come on! Data dies, but then oh wait, B4 is given all of Data's knowledge. had the movie been a smash hit, Data would have been back and probably even called Data with some excuse saying his alga-rythems over rode those of B4.
One Flaw in the movie: When Picard rams the Enterprise into the Mothership you hear this huge explosion and ripping of metal, ect ect. Well in Space, there is NO gravity, you hit as ship and it just bounces away, it's not gonna stand still and allow this ship to rip into it and cause all this damage. I mean come on! How could such a BS Flaw come into this movie? At least say something to make this believable like he has the thrusters on in reverse to maintian to the ships location, or make uip some stuff like the ships stabilizers on or something, but to ram into it in space, it's just laughable.
Other than that, I liked the movie.

Description of Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection (First Contact / Generations / Insurrection / Nemesis)
Contains all four Star Trek: The Next Generation Feature Films (First Contact / Generations / Insurrection / Nemesis)First Contact
Even-numbered Star Trek movies tend to be better, and First Contact (#8 in the popular movie series) is no exception--an intelligently handled plot involving the galaxy-conquering Borg and their attempt to invade Earth's past, alter history, and "assimilate" the entire human race. Time travel, a dazzling new Enterprise, and capable direction by Next Generation alumnus Jonathan Frakes makes this one rank with the best of the bunch. Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his able crew travel back in time to Earth in the year 2063, where they hope to ensure that the inventor of warp drive (played by James Cromwell) will successfully carry out his pioneering warp-drive flight and precipitate Earth's "first contact" with an alien race. A seductive Borg queen (Alice Krige) holds Lt. Data (Brent Spiner) hostage in an effort to sabotage the Federation's preservation of history, and the captive android finds himself tempted by the queen's tantalizing sins of the flesh! Sharply conceived to fit snugly into the burgeoning Star Trek chronology, First Contact leads to a surprise revelation that marks an important historical chapter in the ongoing mission "to boldly go where no one has gone before." --Jeff Shannon
Generations
There were only two ways for "classic Trek" cast members to appear in a movie with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation: either Capt. Kirk and his contemporaries would have to be very, very old, or there would be some time travel involved in the plot. Since geriatric heroes aren't very exciting (despite a welcomed cameo appearance by the aged Dr. McCoy), Star Trek: Generations unites Capt. Kirk (William Shatner) and Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in a time-jumping race to stop a madman's quest for heavenly contentment. When a mysterious energy coil called the Nexus nearly destroys the newly christened U.S.S. Enterprise-B, the just-retired Capt. Kirk is lost and presumed dead. But he's actually been happily trapped in the timeless purgatory of the Nexus--an idyllic state of being described by the mystical Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) as "pure joy." Picard must convince Kirk to leave this artificial comfort zone and confront Dr. Soran (Malcolm McDowell), the madman who will threaten billions of lives to be reunited with the addictive pleasure of the Nexus. With subplots involving the android Data's unpredictable "emotion chip" and the spectacular crash-landing of the starship Enterprise, this crossover movie not only satisfied Trek fans, but it also gave them something they'd never had to confront before: the heroic and truly final death of a beloved Star Trek character. Passing the torch to the Next Generation with dignity and entertaining adventure, the movie isn't going to please everyone with its somewhat hokey plot, but it still ranks as a worthy big-screen launch for Picard and his stalwart crew. --Jeff Shannon
Insurrection
Star Trek fans were decidedly mixed in their reactions to this, the ninth big-screen feature in Paramount's lucrative Trek franchise, but die-hard loyalists will appreciate the way this Next Generation adventure rekindles the spirit of the original Trek TV series while combining a tolerable dose of New-Agey philosophy with a lighthearted plot for the TNG cast. This time out, Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his executive crew must transport to a Shangri-la-like planet to see why their android crewmate Data (Brent Spiner) has run amuck in a village full of peaceful Ba'ku artisans who--thanks to their planet's "metaphasic radiation"--haven't aged in 309 years.
It turns out there's a conspiracy afoot, masterminded by the devious, gruesomely aged Ru'afo (F. Murray Abraham, hamming it up under makeup resembling a cosmetic surgeon's worst nightmare), who's in cahoots with a renegade Starfleet admiral (Anthony Zerbe, in one of his final screen roles). They covet the fountain-of-youth power of the Ba'ku planet, but because their takeover plan violates Starfleet's Prime Directive of noninterference, it's up to Picard and crew to stop the scheme. Along the way, they all benefit from the metaphasic effect, which manifests itself as Worf's puberty (visible as a conspicuous case of Klingon acne), Picard's youthful romance with a Ba'ku woman (the lovely Donna Murphy), the touching though temporary return of Geordi's natural eyesight, and a moment when Troi asks Dr. Crusher if she's noticed that her "boobs are firming up."
Some fans scoffed at these humorous asides, but they're what make this Trek film as entertaining as it is slightly disappointing. Without the laughs (including Data's rousing excerpt from Gilbert & Sullivan's HMS Pinafore), this is a pretty routine entry in the franchise, with no real surprises, a number of plot holes, and the overall appearance of a big-budget TV episode. As costar and director, Jonathan Frakes proves a capable carrier of the Star Trek flame--and it's nice to see women in their 40s portrayed as smart and sexy--but while this is surely an adequate Trek adventure, it doesn't quite rank with the best in the series. --Jeff Shannon
NemesisThe 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
