Amazon.co.uk Review
Despite Nemesis bearing strong echoes of the Star Trek franchise's 1982 zenith, The Wrath of Kahn, the tenth film in the series sadly lacks Kahn's enormous conviction and resonance. That aside, Nemesis is still a strong, enjoyable effort containing all the Trek hallmarks, while making few concessions for non-fans. Following the wedding of Riker and Troi, the Enterprise is called to negotiate peace with longtime Federation enemies the Romulans, now led by the mysterious Reman, Shinzon (a malevolent Tom Hardy), who bears an unnervingly close link to Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart). At the same time, Data's (Brent Spiner) surprise discovery of an inferior prototype of himself leads him to make to some harsh human decisions. Certainly, the film has a comfy familiarity to it, and there are no shocking changes of direction, but scriptwriter John Logan (Gladiator) and director Stuart Baird (Executive Decision)--both franchise newcomers--make some fine contributions. Logan imbues some scenes with fine seething drama, particularly between Picard and Shinzon, and introduces, in a psychic assault on Troi (Marina Sirtis), a hitherto unseen darkness in the Trek universe. Baird, meanwhile, offsets the series "talkiness" with some superbly realised--and brutal--action sequences. Should this indeed be the final voyage for The Next Generation Enterprise, then it could have been far worse. --Danny Graydon

 That's an hour and 45 minutes of my life I'm never getting back November 23, 2008
I'm a huge Star Trek fan but this was nearly as bad as Star Trek 5, dark and depressing. First Contact remaind the ultimate Trek movie. A terrible end to The Next Generation.
 A return to form - The second best Star Trek movie (behind 'Contact').. July 4, 2008
With the terrible 'Insurrection' out of the way a decent Star Trek film was needed to restore the fading franchise. Thankfully we got that with Nemesis.
The Romulans make a successful debut into the movie side of the Star Trek franchise and a overdue one at that.
As usual Patrik Steward is good and so are the rest of the cast. The story and script are good, the acting very good and this fine movie is as dramatic as Contact.
Overall, this is the second best movie of the franchise behind 'Contact'.
NEMESIS OR NEAR MISS..? April 1, 2008
OK IT'S THE LAST NEXT GEN TEAMS LAST OUTING BEFORE SOME OF THE CAST GO ON TO NEW JOBS IN STAR FLEET. THE FILM STARTS OFF VERY SLOW NOT MUCH ACTION UNTILL PICARD AND WORF AND DATA BEEM DOWN TO A VERY EMPTY PLANET TO FIND ER... ANOTHER DATA IN BITS. WITH THAT WE NOW KNOW THAT DATA DIES AND HIS REPLACEMENT TAKES OVER, NOT BEFORE THE FIRST DATA SAVES THE DAY AGAIN. SORRY TO SAY BUT THIS FILM AND THE LAST ONE ARE BOTH BASED ON DATA.BEST BIT FOR ME IS NEAR THE END WHEN THE TWO SHIPS CRASH INTO EACH OTHER, AND ONCE AGAIN THE ENTERPRISE COME OUT OF IT WITH LITTLE DAMAGE.
An ironic title if ever there was one... November 30, 2007

There is a theory amongst trekkies that even films are good and odd films are bad. Although true of all the other films, this rule breaks down with this film, which is devoid of any of the brilliant writing of 'First Contact', and lacks even the more mediocre writing of Enterprise.
This movie is filled with plot holes, cliche's and lazy sloppy writing - all the things that I never thought Star Trek would sink to. To start with, there is that 'happy families' scene at the start on the holodeck, followed by the contrived 'buggy racing' scene (just because they haven't done it before) and then there is the whole plot with Shinzon, which is desperately trying to be a 'devil twin' thing, but fails completely.
Overall, this film is so dreadful that I have thrown in the towel and joined the 'dark side'. Yes, that's right - I now believe that Star Wars would win the battle against Trek not through weaponry or tactics, but through sheer relative Charisma (even with Anakin in tow - how uncharismatic can you get?)
As an interesting footnote to this film, isn't it interesting that the phrase 'grow a beard' meets its counterpoint in this film, when Riker shaves it off? If growing a beard is associated with TV series suddenly getting much better (based on Riker growing a beard in series 2) then I find it deeply ironic that, when Riker shaves off his beard in this film, Nemesis turns from an initially promising film to the pile of tripe it has become!

I am not a huge Star Trek fan, but this really appealed to me when i found out that it was going to be a huge space battle. I have read mixed reviews on Amazon, one even saying that its a re-work of the Wrath of Khan, why? Because a main character dies? Nothing like it, rather a plastic review.
I agree that there is so much cheesy dialogue to Star Trek, it can make you pull faces in embarassment for the actors and most of what is said, just does not belong in the movie, but once you get past some of this in the opening, it becomes interesting that Picard fights his own dark side. A clone of himself, raised in a prison, that only knows hate and violence. The enemy ship, seemingly unstoppable, has you wondering how this will turn out.
The battle begins, with some of the best special effects I have seen in a while, then the Romulans come to the Enterprises assistance and the battle is up 3 fold.
It then becomes a life and death struggle to stop a deadly new weapon from desroying the entire crew of the Enterprise, then Earth.
When all the dust has settled and the original crew dis-embark, its leaves a sense of continuation and finally, closure.
It's a special effects advert for the fans, very enjoyable.
