I watched Nemesis again, for the first time in years. I thought Tom Hardy's performance as Shinzon was amazing but I thought the character itself could have been given more development. I thought the film itself was lacking. The film kind of seemed pointless to me. I do still like this movie and I like the character of Shinzon but I thought it could have been much better. I thought the film's themes of identity were fascinating but I struggled to find any meaning in it beyond that. Maybe there is no other meaning but the theme of identity could have been explored much more. Anyway, do y'all like this movie? Why or why not?

Oh, I hate it. The labourious mind-numbing action, the "we aspire and they don't" hand-wave resolution to the half-assed philosophical premise, the dozenth mind rape of Troi and Picard's callous response, it's all trash.

Don't get me wrong, it had some OK scenes. You had to learn about them after the fact, though, because they were all cut from the film! Cutting Picard's discussion with Data from the start, and the crew's visit to his quarters at the end, is as good as cutting the Kobayashi Maru and funeral sequences from TWoK. They wouldn't have saved the thing, but they would have given Data's death at least a little emotional weight.

Left a bad taste in my mouth for twenty years. Thank goodness Picard came along to revisit these characters. It was a mess, but I'll take any season of Picard as a superior send-off to the TNG era than this movie.

I actually just started watching Picard. I'm on episode 4 right now. So far, so good. I kind of stopped watching Star Trek after Discovery came out because I heard it sucked (Also because it was on streaming). I decided to finally give new Trek a chance and so far it's not half bad. It's better that I watch something and form my own opinion instead of listening to what some dumbasses online are saying.

I wont say too much to spoil it, but my feelings on Picard's first season is that it started out with a huge amount of promise, then moved at a strangely slow pace for long enough that there wasn't any chance to properly resolve everything at the end. So a mess, but it had ambition and even those messier episodes had some lovely moments.
