I still like it, but wouldn't rank it ahead of Star Treks IV or VI or the Abrams film (or Kahn, of course).Nolahnhttp://www.bargainbinreview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-3239892980112807522012-11-21T07:47:14.027-06:002012-11-21T07:47:14.027-06:00You also gotta keep in mind that the only other Tr...You also gotta keep in mind that the only other Trek movie I've seen is the Abrams one. And as for all the shows, I've seen half of TNG and that's it. So that's where I was basically coming from going into this flick.<br /><br />Again, I don't want people to think I disliked it based on the review. I did give it a positive score, because I did like it!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-18852112959713037152012-11-21T00:09:11.107-06:002012-11-21T00:09:11.107-06:00Nick, I wouldn't call myself a Star Trek exper...Nick, I wouldn't call myself a Star Trek expert, but I've seen all the movies and a decent amount of the shows. I think First Contact is easily the best of the TNG movies. It really moves and doesn't just feel like an extended TV episode. I agree that some of the Cochran material drags, despite good work from Cromwell. Overall, I do think it's well behind most of the movies from the original crew (1 and 5 are the exceptions). Still, it's very entertaining for me.Dan Heatonhttp://ptsnob.comnoreply@blogger.com
