The combining of the first two films featuring the cast of the Next Generation is a great strategy. The first film "Generations" benefits by being packaged with the far superior "First Contact."

Although "Generations" featured the what-should-have-been a major meeting of Captains Kirk and Picard, it suffered from slow pacing, a "weak" villain, and a lame plot. When the most memorable aspect is the impressive crash of the Enterprise, the film does not measure up to its potential as a big screen version of a television show.

The guys got back on track with the follow-up "First Contact." Featuring all the regulars of the show, this one has major assistance from the acting luminaries Alfre Woodard and James Cromwell. But, it is Alice Kringe who triumphs as the extremely seductive Borg queen who really makes "resistance futile." Her erotically mechanical movements coupled with her slinky vocal delivery of her lines make this one lady who might make any member of the Federation succumb to her charms.

The superb special effects and the direction from Jonathan Frakes elevates this one to the top ranks of the "Trek" films.

Too bad, "Insurrection" wasn't as lucky!

But, that's another review!

The first 20 minutes of Generations is some of the best Trek ever written. The rest of the movie was mediocre at best, but the Next Generation crew rose to the challenge of carrying thier own movie in First Contact. With a truly theatrical plotline, well written action scenes, superb direction, and searing action scenes, First Contact ranks right up there with The Wrath of Khan as the best of the Trek movies.

Well, there's nothing "broke" about this movie! With a Borg Queen who makes your blood run cold with a mere look, some hilarious interaction between Geordi, Riker, Troi, and the man who started it all (and wishes he hadn't) Zephram Cochrane, and Picard (ah.. Picard... need I say more, girls?), this one has it all. Intense!

For all those Trekkies who love action, comedy,and irony. This movies has all of that. The Borg attackthe past and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise N.C.C. 1701-E have to stop them or there will be no Federation! I recommend this film to everyone !

This is better than the best of both worlds which has been dubed as the best episode of Star Trek TNG.

The "Borg" are back and this time "There may be no stopping them. They invade our space and we fall back, They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back, not again the line must be drawn here.

the best since the wrath of khan. they crew made up for what was missing is star trek generations. each line was delivered with an intensity which leaves u wishing for more. patrick stewart gives an unforgettable performance as a captain bent on vengeance at all cost!

In this movie, Picard and his daring crew facse the Borg once more. I think Alice Kringe did an suberb job in acting for the Borg queen. You could get a sense of pure evil in her acting as the mighty queen. James Cromwell portraied Zefram Cochrane, the man responsible for warp drive. I think over all, STar Trek: First Contact was a great movie, and I encourage all to see it!

Star Trek: First Contact is most definitely one of the best films in the Star Trek movies. The story and the acting are wonderfully written. I love new Enterprise-E and the Borg, and the writing between Picard and Lilly is wonderful. All this and more allow First Contact to be most worthy of the title Star Trek.
