Star Trek: Nemesis Gets the Go Signal
PatJensen writes "Star Trek TNG: Nemesis, the 10th Star Trek movie gets the green light from Paramount today. It will be directed by Stuart Baird, who did Executive Decision, US Marshals and Tomb Raider. Looks to be pretty action packed. Digital Domain
(LOTR, Titanic) will be doing the SFX. The movie seems to be based around Romulan conflict with the Federation. " Can't be as bad as Insurrection. At least, I hope not. BTW the first movie is out on DVD now and they did a pretty good job with the re-release.

You mean now the WHOLE 2 hour jouney of spock flying through V'Ger is in there? COOL!

The plot, I read somewhere, is about a Picard clone trying to gain control of the Romulan Empire. No word on whether or not the stem cells will be used to help treat the obvious brain damage of the screenwriters of Insurrection.

Bleah! Heh heh heh... BLEAH BLEAH!!! Ha ha ha ha...
If they release a movie based on Enterprise, will they have to use negative numbers? Star Trek -1: The Klingon Wars
However, I hope every scene is filled with Brent Spinner. After that "Ol' Yellow Eyes is Back" album, he deserves to spend the rest of his life having to listen to plot flaws while signing autographs for socially-retarded Acne cream test subjects. Also, I hope that they make Marina Sirtis cover up. At her present age, they must be bouncing off her knees now.
Captain Archer owns Captain Picard!
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
i'd have something go wrong on the holodeck that would keep the ship in a time loop. the bad aliens would turn out to be good guys and vice versa. everyone would get really old very quickly because of a space phenomenon and would then go mad. and turn into lizards. and then meet god. in the end it would all turn out to be a romulan plot. new uniforms please!
They're going to have to go through extensive effort to maintain Brent Spiner's appearance as the immortal android Data and not some dude in his 50's with crows feet and a middle aged gut.
Let's look at the brief history:
Star Trek I - Rather cheezy looking and overall not that good of a movie
Star Trek II - KHAAAAAAAAAN! Still one of the best Start Trek movies
Star Trek III - The search for spock. It had some good moments but overall kinda dull. Not bad, but not great
Star Trek IV - Okay, the environmentalism was layed on thick, but overall a very different style from the other movies (much more humor), and quite a bit of fun
Star Trek V - Today red shirted ensigns we are going to go find God on some funky planet in the middle of nowhere. Set phasers on CRAP!
Start Trek VI - My personal favorite. Lots of good drama between Federation and the Klingons. The big fairwell for most of the original cast.
Star Trek VII - a crossover between the old and new, and the movie clearly suffered for trying to force that.
Star Trek VIII - We get to see the old federation, a borg trying to seduce Data, and overall a fun and action packed movie.
Star Trek VIX - Ummmm.. what was this movie again. I know I saw it, but I don't recall it having anything worth remembering. Something about somebody rebelling I think but I forget.
So, back to an even number and so we can reasonably assume it will be good. It seems like they screw up, and then work hard to get the next one right. Then they rest on their laurels and screw up again.

This is very true, if your a true trekie, you know that the odd numbered movies sucked!!
so, it CAN'T be TOOOOO bad
20 January 2017: the End of an Error.
And as annoying as Wesley might have been, he's no C3P0....
After all, if he can hold his own with Queen Ice Bitch Anne (WL), he should have NO trouble stirring it up with the pissant Federation.
Whaddya say, Wil?

- Directed by Frakes.
- Story and executive production by Nimoy.
- Keep Shatner the heck away from the set.
- Keep it fast and not too much dialog.
- Bring in Whoopi again.
- Throw in some Klingons and Borg.
- Music by Jerry Goldsmith.
- What about Q?
- And at last but not least, for the last half of the movie, turn it into a comedy where the crew goes back to the 20th Century with the help of dolphins and Lassie to help save Wil Wheaton's career by coercing him not to accept the role in the series. Suddenly, a disruption in the time-space continuoum causes Richard Simmons to suddenly replace Wil Wheaton in all the series and movies, and the whole thing was just an aerobic workout video to begin with.

Boycott the MPAA fascists! Fight for your rights! Don't give these freedom-hating bastards any more of your money! Don't give in to --- OOH! CANDY!
Well, considering the attention span of the typical Trekky, they probably forgot that the first 2/3 of the film existed by the time they were watching the last 1/3. You always remember your last impression the most anyway.
Bite my yammer.
Star Trek VIX - " The Vapo Rub"
She sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue.
V however was by far, the worst ST movie of em all.
I have to agree. "V" was pretty bad - none of the old crew, no Federation ships, Klingons, phasers or anything, just these dumb aliens running around dressed as humans. Spock coulda whupped the whole fleet of'em in ten minutes.
It was really hard to see how it even was a Trek movie, but at least it was on TV and I didn't have to pay for a ticket.
Why not incorporate any of the Voyager or DS9 cast?
I think the Voyager cast is best used in an odd-numbered episode.
it just means now the universe will be filled with billions of rouge borg.
I assume you mean rogue, though a bunch of rouge borg raging around does have a certain scary aesthetic quality.
This leads to the obvious question:
Would this make them Red Shirts?
And although moderators moderating the parent poster as overrated may in fact be jealous of the intelligence of the comments, they certainly aren't jealous of the spelling. (Last time I checked, statement had a letter between the second t and the m....).
