Viewing Notes

When an alien race and factions within Starfleet attempt to take over a planet that has “regenerative” properties, it falls upon Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise to defend the planet’s people as well as the very ideals upon which the Federation itself was founded. Now that I’m more caught up on Deep Space Nine I can actually appreciate the events int his film more and they don’t feel completely out of left field. The Dominion War is a big reason the events in the film are taking place but it gets a minor passing mention in like two lines in film so if you haven’t been watching Deep Space Nine you have no idea what’s been going on that would drive Starfleet to do something that only the ‘bad guys’ would be doing before. There is a lot of humor in this that offsets the darker parts of the story. The effects are pretty good throughout and F. Murray Abrahm is great as our lead bad guy as who chews on every scene he’s in.
