Review: Done! I have now watched all Star Trek movies and it was quite pleasant. During the first five minutes of Nemesis I believed to be in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, released three years before: aerial alien city landscapes, a senate, senators in robe... There is an obvious will to modernize the franchise, while keeping what made Star Trek a success: the crew of the Enteprise, a captain in doubt, alien races, and human space exploration. Nemesis takes special care of developing the characters of Picard and Data, and I was not surprised to see that Brent Spiner (interpret of Data) is credited as one of the screenplay writer. The movie contains some nicely done space battles, but mostly philosophical discussions between Picard and his Nemesis Shinzon, a troubled character that seems to have inspired Nero (played by Eric Bana), in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek XI, both in speech and posture. I am always surprised to see how Star Trek movies can keep me interested for two hours with such stories... Anyway it works!
