Star Trek: First Contact

Good episode with a solid villain, interesting new characters, but for me it's still an episode that I couldn't fully connect with. As a sci-fi and as a movie, it's very good, but I just don't have that kind of relationship with the characters and I'm not able to build it properly. As a movie, it's good, but it won't be a favorite. (12.04.2015)

No cautious tapping and cuddling with the ship. Frakes starts off at full throttle from the very beginning, and so far the darkest Trekkian script (Moore's pre-Galactic manuscript is dreadfully evident) is transformed into a captivating spectacle. Thanks to this, the Borgs do not appear in any way ridiculous, and the same crew that was almost annoying in the previous film suddenly functions as a plot guide. Perhaps only the earthly teasing with the drunken Cromwell could have been less. Otherwise, together with The Voyage Home, it is certainly the peak of the series, and it is no coincidence that this happens again during time-playing with Earth. (19.06.2009)

The best Next Generation film that mixes all the quality of Star Trek – a riveting plot (which is usually guaranteed by the Borg), excellent effects, good acting performances and an unmistakable sense of humor, this time backed up by the character of the brilliant schmuck Cochran, who ironizes all of Star Trek with his catchphrases and behavior. Frakes has done a top-notch job of making high-quality science fiction that can also lean on the complex world of Star Trek. Moreover, it will amuse even those who otherwise do not enjoy this world... and Jerry's baton? I kiss, I bow, the central melody is such concentrated pathos that I love it as soon as I hear it. For me, the absolute first-class ticket among the galactic first class stars. Whoopee! (05.03.2004)
