Viewing Notes

via Netflix

Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D find themselves at odds with the renegade scientist Soran who is destroying entire star systems. Only one man can help Picard stop Soran’s scheme…and he’s been dead for seventy-eight years. Written side by side and prepped side by side with the last episode of The Next Generation, as many issues as I have with ‘All Good Things…’ I think it’s the better end result. Sure the effects work has a feature film quality here, but this feels like an extended episode of the show and lacks the epic feel of the series finale. I don’t mind it feeling like the show, but they went in and revamped the sets and lit them like they were embarrassed by them being former television sets. They do try a few new things with the characters, things they wouldn’t have really done outside the TV show, but the film still grinds to a halt just before the start of the last part of the film with the whole thing being sedate to begin with seeing as how they’re dealing with an investigation, this makes the film seem like it’s dragging. The acting is fantastic but the score is pretty much forgettable as they opted to have the show’s composer write the music, which would have been fine, but it feels like the same bland themes over and over again.
