One of the more memorable entries into the Star Trek portfolio. The opening (Picard's dream) is superb; the following storyline is good even if the Enterprise-travels-back-in-time-schtick was done better in ST4 (imho). Towards the end the film picks up speed and there's good tension.

As ST:TNG is my favorite ST show, I really was fond of this movie.

This is the only ST film I liked with the cast of TNG. B

[Dementeleus]

The best of the TNG movies and one of the better STs in general.

Competes with Trek 2009 for 3rd best Trek film. Action with some meat to it, Worf kicking some ass, James Cromwell being drunk James Cromwell, etc.

I liked it. There was some nice character stuff even if the concept of the Borg doesn't feel fully explained (I'm sure whichever series this is adapted from did a better job introing them). I still really, really hate the Data character.

 

Is it weird that it always feels a little weird to see Patrick Stewart walking around instead of rolling? Don't answer that, lol

I loved this movie, one of my favorite Star Trek flicks.

I groaned of exhaustion as the film ended with yet another nod to the original series. After finishing it, I felt I had watched a much longer film than I actually did.

 

Sequences that contributes little to nothing, a villain that doesn't make any goddamn sense, DATA once again having a considerable screen time on top of awkward humor and phony bad ass catchphrases makes this is one the worst Star Trek. 

 

Action was a step up from previous episodes, I guess.

why the Borg's henchman walks zombie-like? why they attack only when others attack them? why did they stop taking over the ship once they reached deck 11? why does the Queen want to assimilate everyone? what do they gain from that? why exactly they think a assimilated person is better than a non-assimilated person? Why didn't they time travel before accidentally entering the time portal created by Enterprise?

 

and don't come with 'bring order to chaos', that's not good enough of an answer to me.

You went in with no knowledge of the Borg from the series.

 

The Borg are a hive that are driven to evolve by assimilating the strengths of every species into their form, while also seeking to forcibly assimilate those species into the hive with the end goal of forming a perfect organism.

 

Also your grade is shameful!!!

For better or worse, FC relied on a fair amount of basic TNG knowledge. The Borg are probably the most famous villains of that show. They appeared plenty of times and all your basic questions about them were answered and explored there. It's been awhile since I've seen FC so I can't imagine how much basic setup they provide for newbies -- but I also don't remember much outcry or confusion by the GA when it came out.
