    Enjoyed it. Decent story with some funny moments. The Next Generation was on TV for so long that switching to movies didn't work as well. The Borg were great villains.

    A VERY GOOD MOVIE AND IT SHOWS YOU THAT THE BORG CAN BE VERY MEAN AND NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO DEAL WITH..

    One of the most intense of the Trek movies, this one hits the ground running and doesn't let up until the end.

    The problem I have with this film is it could've been any villian going back in time to stop the Federation from being born. It didn't make sence for it to be The Borg, a species that evolves by assimilating technology to go back in time to when humanity was about to make a leap forward and stop it. However the sub-plot with Zephram Cochran was amusing and Patrick Stewart played a tour-de-force as Ahab-esque captain bent on vengence.

    Considering that First Contact is the first Trek film to really be born and bred for the big screen (rather than the ACTUAL finale of the series), it's odd that this feels so much like a TV show. Actually, the real problem is just that it's a small movie. The opening of the film blurs by WAY too fast to set up the kind of emotional impact it needs to, and the idea of a crew going back into the past (well, their past) while fighting in their own hallways makes the film feel very scaled down. The performances are pretty good, though. James Cromwell is great, and the Borg Queen is more succesful an antagonist than she really ought to be. Not a classic, but good.
