Star Trek: Nemesis

Wiz RECOMMENDS Star Trek: Nemesis

Honestly, all this movie did was confirm what my suspicions were when I reviewed Star Trek: Generations:

1. These series of films requires you to already be well versed in the characters and their story lines because these films will not bring you up to speed.
2. On top of that, don't expect much in the way of character moving forward whether it's the crew or the villains.
3. The focus seems to be solely on action and having fights in space and hand to hand.

Star Trek: Nemesis basically takes the entire formula of the last few films and spins it into a whole different yarn.

Which means all of the criticisms with the last three movies stand: character work isn't good, there's some light moments but there's a good amount of action.

And honestly, the only thing that prevents this from being a dud is that the action is actually pretty good. Hell, the entire second half of the film is one long, drawn out action sequence that was pretty entertaining.

But even a shockingly young (and bald) Tom Hardy can't make this plot all that interesting or entertaining.

But again, to reiterate, I've never watched any of "Star Trek: The Next Generation".

Maybe watching it and coming back to these films may change my mind, but the films are not a great way to introduce these beloved characters to someone with no previous experience with them like me.
