Star Trek needs new writers badly
Yes, I agree. The story was a rewrite of two previous scripts. However, the fx were good and I didn't mind the SUV. Why not go baha-ing over terrains in far away galaxies? I would love to do something like that. Every action film has some sort of chase scene in it. Why not use a Federation dune buggy?
Love,

This WAS a new writer, the guy who wrote it also wrote the script for gladiator

I was surprised to see that Brent Spiner (Data) had co-written the script.
Here's a link for the trailer: http://nemesis.startrek.com/

Hmmm
I was very disappointed.
Some of my favorite parts:
The whole dune buggy thing
They show a picture of Picard as a youngster... and he's bald! (Other shows have pictured him as a young man with a full head of hair.)
Worf had two lines in the movie... both of them bad;
Wesley Crusher had no lines;
Shinzon (the bad guy) is being chased in a space battle. He tells his helm dude to reroute all power to the forward disruptors and prepare for a full stop. Nobody has a clue what he has in mind and he has to--in typical villain fashion--repeat his command in a menacing tone. Just when his clueless crew is about to mutiny because they think he's gone off his rocker letting the pursuers catch him, he yells "Full Stop!" and "Fire!" as the 'good' guys race right past him and he shoots them in the ass. Sheesh, hasn't anybody in the future seen Top Gun?
This is reportedly the last ST:TNG film, so at least I won't have to watch Marina Sirtis look like she's cramping when she says, "I sense he's holding something back."
I have other nit-picks, but they would expose me as a geek of daunting proportions (do you really want to know where the command bridge of a starship is located?) so I'll leave off.
Daredevil in Feb '03!

Not my favorite Star Trek movie and it's getting a bit tired. But watching it is still better than changing a tire in the snow.

Well, I like, but only because I'm utterly obsessed w/ Romulans.
It's a very, very good Trek flick. Perhaps I am jaded because I've seen too much 'Enterprise' lately, and that show has REAL script problems, but a good flick.
Yeah, there are SOME problems w/ the plot, but nothing that could not be explained away with a line or two of throwaway dialogue (which probably was, and hence, we may yet see in the DVD). It's not so bad that you couldn't tell what those explanations would have been, though.
Now, 'Enterprise', OTOH....OMG, *that* proves Trek needs new writers more than anything. I mean, these guys don't even THINK about what they are writing. Remember - no universal translator. The Comm officer, Hoshi, trying to understand a new language. "They say they are....Romoolans" "RomUlans" corrects T'Pol....
Wait a minute....they called themselves...in untranslated speech....ROMULAN!?!? What?!?! Since when do space aliens obligingly name themselves after ancient human legends?!?! Or, at the very least, name themselves after something that directly translates to ancient earth legends?? That a Vulcan knows more about than Hoshi!?!?
(For those who don't know - apparently everybody at Paramount - Romulus and Remus were the twin brothers who, in mythology, founded the city of Rome and the Roman Empire. According to older Trek lore, the human surveyors named the twin planets Ch'Rihan and Ch'Havran as 'Romulus' and 'Remus' before contact had been made with the natives - subsequently called by humans 'Romulans'.)

Oh, yeah, back on topic....
Yeah, not a bad flick. I'd rate the top few as:
1) ST:VI (if for no other reason than Christopher Plummer makes a fetching Klingon)
2) ST:Nemesis (well, Romulan, yeah....)
3) ST:II (okay, Ricardo Montelban has some cool lines....)
4) ST:First Contact
5) ST:Generations -

I saw the movie, it was not as good as I hoped it would be, but better than the critics said it was. It was well worth the money, but not the End All Star Trek, they could still do another one. WHAT THE HECK IS PICARD DOING in charge of one vessel for 15 years? Doesn't the Federation promote people?

I was very much disappointed! Weak story line. It was more made for tv movie.
