Overview

En route to the honeymoon of William Riker to Deanna Troi on her home planet of Betazed, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise receives word from Starfleet that a coup has resulted in the installation of a new Romulan political leader, Shinzon, who claims to seek peace with the human-backed United Federation of Planets. Once in enemy territory, the captain and his crew make a startling discovery: Shinzon is human, a slave from the Romulan sister planet of Remus, and has a secret, shocking relationship to Picard himself.

Viewing Notes

It’s beautifully shot and Tom Hardy is damn good, but there’s something that just doesn’t sit right with NEMESIS. I appreciate what the writers were trying to do with the parallels of Picard and Data, but they missed a real opportunity by giving us B4 and not Lore. B4 just feels like a character retread, and an unnecessary one at that, not to mention the Enterprise escape sequence which is too much like INSURRECTION. It’s a shame the final TNG movie wasn’t better. It’s not bad, but it’s not one of the best of the franchise, either.
