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?

I see what you mean. When I said "growing as individuals" I meant it moreso as "learning about ones self", i.e.: Kirk is forced to face and overcome his own racism, Spock faces his own biases when he is let down by the betrayal, etc. But yes if we're talking career advancement, then you're right. They're all basically facing retirement except Sulu and Chekov, really.

Personally speaking that doesn't affect the story at all for me, I think it's up there with TWOK as the best Trek film for it's Soviet Union "end of history" allegories.

Yeah, the movie definitely deserves it's accolades as one of the best Star Trek movies. It is just that you can tell, with this movie, there really wasn't anywhere good for the original cat to go from there.
