Even-numbered Star Trek movies tend to be better, and First Contact (#8 in the popular movie series) is no exception--an intelligently handled plot involving the galaxy-conquering Borg and their attempt to invade Earth's past, alter history, and "assimilate" the entire human race. Time travel, a dazzling new Enterprise, and capable direction by Next Generation alumnus Jonathan Frakes makes this one rank with the best of the bunch. Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his able crew travel back in time to Earth in the year 2063, where they hope to ensure that the inventor of warp drive (played by James Cromwell) will successfully carry out his pioneering warp-drive flight and precipitate Earth's "first contact" with an alien race. A seductive Borg queen (Alice Krige) holds Lt. Data (Brent Spiner) hostage in an effort to sabotage the Federation's preservation of history, and the captive android finds himself tempted by the queen's tantalizing sins of the flesh! Sharply conceived to fit snugly into the burgeoning Star Trek chronology, First Contact leads to a surprise revelation that marks an important historical chapter in the ongoing mission "to boldly go where no one has gone before." --Jeff Shannon

This Star Trek film was the best one I have seen altogether. I loved this one very much. The story continues in an on going conflict with the Borg and is exceptionally layed out in a great story concept. The effects, the directing, and the music scores all tie together to make this Star Trek epic a collectible to view over and over again. Jonathan Frakes definitely knows how to direct a Star Trek film and knows what the fans want to see through his eyes. He did great! I recommend this one for all ... Read More

This is by far the best of the Next Generation Star Trek films and probably second only to 'Star Trek IV The Voyage Home' in terms of all the Star Trek films. Its almost a direct continuation of the TNG episodes "The Best of Both Worlds" in which Jean Luc Picard is assimalated by the Borg.
The story has been told by many other reviewers, so I will not repeat that. However, I will say that here you get an excellent story, which is well directed by Jonathan Frakes, and above all a marvellous ... Read More

The Good Things
*Excellent action and special effects. The opening battle scene is probably the best of the series.
*Filming style is good.
*The storyline is good. Includes a great deal of excitement, comedy, and drama.
*Incorporates a good deal of stuff from the Star Trek universe. The Borg make for the best bad guys of the series. They are quite menacing (and it's about time they stopped bringing up the Klingons!). Also an original and refreshing look at the history of the ... Read More

After all the previous Star Trek movies, this came out to fill in the story. As a prequel it's a little lackluster. It's not the swashbuckling space opera,with great visual effects and great story telling. What sells this is the first meeting between Vulcan and human and the struggle to escape earth into space. Since I'm a completist, I just had to have this -- and no true trekkie would be without it either, no matter how lame it may be.

That's the key question one should ask himself when viewing "Star Trek: First Contact." In this first solo outing for the TNG crew, Picard and the gang find themselves facing off against the highly popular villains called the Borg. Having been defeated every time they've battled the Enterprise, the Borg devise a plan to travel back in time to stop a key event in Earth's history and then (big shocker) assimilate everybody. In a heated and action-packed space battle, the Borg jump through time with the ... Read More
