It's an OK Star Trek film, but there's a few plot-holes, such as the 'bad guys' simply beaming themselves onto the federation ship, which cannot be done unless their shields are down... and why would the federation ship have their shields down? They wouldn't.... so that's a big plot-hole. There's a few other milder plot-holes throughout the film, but none of them impact the story as much as the one mentioned above. Other than that, it's an OK Star Trek film... it has a lot of drama, and only a small amount of action. The vast majority of the film doesn't even take place in space, or on a far-away planet... it literally takes place on earth, and in a particularly boring place on earth to-boot!

A good follow-up film to Generations. For first time viewers: you do not have to watch Generations to know what is going on in First Contact but it would help you to know Picard's history with the Borg (although Picard does briefly explain it in this film). The Borg is out to assimilate and go back to the 21st century in order to alter the course of history, to stop Earth's first contact with intelligent alien life. The enterprise gets caught up in the shockwave of the Borg's time travel and end up in the 21st century with some of the Borg on the Enterprise. The captain and crew must stop the Borg from assimilating the crew and make sure the first contact happens for the Earthlings with the aliens (Vulcans). Excellent film for sci-fi and Star Trek fans. Well worth watching. 10/10

The first real mission for the new generation of Enterprise fleet and for me this was an outstanding entry in the franchise. Bye bye to the annoying Data like in Generations welcome to the real Data. Not only that, this delivers also on the part of effects. Not only was the story great because it's full of action from the first minute until the end. It was watchable due the great effects not only in space but also on the make-up. Borg looked stunning and all cyborgs did work out fine. Sure, you will be reminded of Species (1995) and The Terminator (1984) when you see the Borgs but never mind, it isn't a copy. If you don't are a Trekkie geek this one surely can be watched without knowing a thing about the Enterprise. Great flick. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 4/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

While infinitely better than its predecessor, this movie has several major flaws in it that keep it from being what many consider to be the 'best of the series'. First, the lack of internal consistency...Zephram Cochrane was established to be from Alpha Centauri in the first seriers...how the hell does he get from Earth to there, much less being KNOWN as Zephram Cochrane OF Alpha Centauri? Secondly, and more important, the character of Lily seems ridiculous, especially with regards to her relationship with Picard. We are to assume that this Starship Captain has lost all emotional stability and reasoning, but a woman he hardly knows (not his crew at all) is the one who brings it back to him? However, the Borg Queen more than makes up for this, giving a chillingly disturbing and at the same time vaguely erotic performance in her role. The last thing, though, that I find annoying...how many ways can they find to get Worf back among the crew? He's gone to DS9...let him stay there...

Time travel is a movie killer. And it killed this movie. If the Borg could go back in time, why not do this previously? Why not do it all the time, and why not go further back in time to a few billion years back? Also, if time travel was possible, then different timelines would be created, rather than change the one that they are in currently. In other words, if I went back in time and killed my father before I was born, I would still be alive in the current timeline. I wouldn't die off. This would have been a good movie, but the time travel is terrible. For this alone, I reject the movie, even though there are some good individual scenes which I liked.

This might be rated as one of the best Star Trek movies, but in my book, had some better expectations. Picard's crew have to fight a Borg attack against orders. An escaping Borg ball enters a time rift close to Earth, to cause a time distortion which makes a Borg collective of the planet. However, to avoid this, the Enterprise enters the same rift to battle the evil Borg Queen and its Army on the same time that an important discovery might open a new age of space exploration... Though Jonathan Frakes' direction is well done, story seems to stretch a bit on some parts, acting is OK and up to the TV series level, good special effects, but at least, we tend to forget the "Generations" movie and having a moment of pure Borg fun here. If no "Original series" characters appear here, we happened to see Robert Picardo's "Doctor" from Voyager and Dwight Schultz as the neurotic "Reg Barclay". I would recommend if you are into the Borg rivalry...

A day after its opening, I went to see First Contact. Half way through the film I knew it was the best Trek film yet. And as of 1999, First Contact is still the best Trek film of all time. The effects and story were great. The Borg assimilating the new Enterprise-E was interesting and the sub story on Earth was hilarious. The best parts of all were the scenes with Data and the Borg Queen. Star Trek: First Contact is a must see. I give it 4 out of 4 stars.
