    Star Trek VIII: First Contact - Stardate: 50893.5

    Finally, after the dismal Generations outing, they got it right with this one! First Contact indeed is on par with the very best of the Star Trek films - The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country. Unfortunately, they won't get it right again to the present day (with the above average but still not as good Insurrection and awful Nemesis). The script is very solid, the acting above par (with kudos going to Alice Krige as the seductive Borg Queen and Alfre Woodard as the trusting Lily Sloane), and the score by Jerry Goldsmith again another hit. All of that combined with visual effects that service the story and not is the story makes this outing a spectacular success

    The best movie from the Next generation cast. The Borg are the perfect villain in this film. I also liked the when the story went to the past. Great acting by the entire cast. If you liked the show then you will like the film.

    NexGen's Wrath of Khan, in terms of popularity, SFX, and story strength, not to mention the whole vengeance thing. Abso-fucking-lutely brilliant. I'm sure H.R. Giger got a hard-on when he saw the Queen.

    This film I'm glad to say, outshone GEnerations. The Borg on Earth? This is a job for the Starhip Enterprise and her crew

    Great for TNG fans. Probably noteworthy as a strange genre mashup for being a "zombies in space" movie too. So many zombie movies have come out the last few years without anything to make it stand out like First Contact has (although of course FC cheats by getting to try the material on tv first).
