- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2025I am now 63 years old a retired electrical engineer, trained in the operations of nuclear reactors, CEO of two regional power companies in my career, have seen reverse engineered alien ships, have seen alien ships, and yet i feel small compared to the genius involved in helping us dream. Thank you Star Trek for helping us dream and open our minds to what is really out there. In John 1:3 it states that "Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.". As a Christian i am one who believes in many beings and worlds which have been created long before humans who have been created. But now my spirit and soul will soon depart to meet the creator of this big universe. God bless to all.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2005The eighth big-screen installment of the "Star Trek" franchise was released to theaters in 1996 with the title "Star Trek: First Contact". It was also the second "Star Trek" film to feature the cast from the highly successful television series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987-1994). Unlike the previous film, it did not include any of the cast members from the original "Star Trek" series. Instead, "Star Trek: First Contact" begins with the crew on board the newest starship to have the name "Enterprise", the NCC-1701-E. When Starfleet detects a Borg cube headed for Earth, instead of ordering the "USS Enterprise" to join the forces to engage the cube, Starfleet orders it to the Romulan Neutral Zone for fear of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), who had once been forcibly assimilated into the Borg collective. However, the Borg cube successfully gets through the Starfleet blockade, Captain Picard orders the Enterprise to intercept the Borg cube and to rally the surviving Starfleet ships for a last stand. Upon arriving at the Borg cube, Captain Picard assumes command of the fleet and rescues the crew of the USS Defiant, which includes Lt. Commander Worf (Michael Dorn). Using his knowledge of the Borg, Captain Picard successfully destroys the Borg cube, but not before a smaller spherical ship escapes and heads for Earth. Chasing it, the Borg sphere creates a wormhole into time and escapes to Earth's past; but since the USS Enterprise was also caught in the wormhole, it escapes the modified timeline of a Borg-dominated Earth and appears at the same point in history (300 years earlier) where the sphere arrived shortly before. Finding the sphere attacking a missile outpost in Idaho, the USS Enterprise successfully destroys the sphere; but Captain Picard realizes that the Borg were attempting to destroy Earth's first warp ship created by the legendary Dr. Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell). Beaming down to assess the damage at the outpost, Captain Picard is joined by Commander William Riker (William Frakes), Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner), Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis). There, they find the first warp ship intact, but are mistaken by a native of the time period, Lily Sloane (Alfre Woodard), of being agents of an Eastern alliance that had initiated a world war several decades earlier. Lily collapses and is beamed back to Enterprise with Dr. Crusher to help with her radiation poisoning. In the meantime, the rest of the away team searches for Dr. Cochran; but Captain Picard realizes that not all of the Borg had been destroyed: some of them managed to beam aboard the Enterprise before the sphere was destroyed. Can Captain Picard stop the Borg from taking over the Enterprise? Can the away team find Dr. Cochran and repair the warp ship to initiate Earth's first-ever official contact with an alien species? You'll just have to watch this exciting "Star Trek" film and see the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) reveal herself for the first time.
"Star Trek: First Contact" was clearly one of the best films of the franchise ever produced, and was clearly the best of the four "Star Trek" films featuring the crew from "Star Trek: The Next Generation". With impressive special effects, an engaging story, engaging characters and a wonderful script, "Star Trek: First Contact" is definitely one "Star Trek" film worth owning on DVD. Other "Star Trek" characters that appear in this film include the Emergency Medical Hologram (Robert Picardo), Lieutenant Reginald Barclay (Dwight Schultz) and Nurse Alyssa Ogawa (Patti Yasutake). Other characters include Lieutenant Hawk (Neal McDonough), Admiral Hayes (Jack Shearer), Ruby (Hillary Hayes), Nicky the Nose (Don Stark), the Vulcan Captain (Cully Fredricksen) and the voice of the Enterprise computer (Majel Barrett). Memorable scenes include the opening Borg attack scenes, the arrival in the past, finding the warp ship, finding Dr. Cochran, discovery of the Borg on the Enterprise, Data's capture, Lily with Picard, the holodeck scene, the space walk, the launch, Picard & the Borg Queen and the closing scenes. Overall, I rate "Star Trek: First Contact" with a resounding 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2025One of my favorite movies!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2012I have to own up up front that my favourite Star Trek series is TOS and while I did enjoy DS3 and the later seasons of Voyager a great deal somehow TNG didn't really do much for me. Let's just say I'm much more excited about DS3 and Voyager coming in Blu-Ray than I am about TNG doing so. With that out of the way, I have to say that I enjoyed this movie a lot and after Star Trek 6 this is now my favourite Star Trek movie. I truly hope that the recent alternate universe version of Star Trek finds a new younger audience but the really bad science throughout i.e. the manufactured black hole made me totally disinterested in that movie early on and so if I had to choose just three Star Trek movies to take with me to a desert island they would be "The Undiscovered Country - Thearetical Release", "First Contact" and "Star Trek 1 - The Movie - Director's Cut".
Regarding "First Contact", it looks great in 1080p and sounds good in Dolby TrueHD although I personally would have preferred a DTS-HD MA option. Unlike too many other blu-ray releases, the BD-Live here is actually more than just a trailer of other movies to sell vehicle and I enjoyed the Star Trek IQ interactive quiz. As for the content, we get a nice mixture of adventure and excitement as well as an homage to one of my favourite TOS episodes "Metamorphosis" where Cochrane is first introduced and a little drama with Picard which echoes another TOS episode "Obsession" as well.
Overall, this is a great Star Trek movie irrespective of series and both the picture and sound qualities are vastly improved over the standard dvd versions.
Highly recommended!

Stephen A. HainesReviewed in Canada on September 27, 20015.0 out of 5 stars Cromwell triumphant
Although watching a Star Trek film requires shedding reality for a couple of hours, both the novice and the dedicated "Trekkie" can enjoy this one. The newcomer may wonder about technical matters: how fast is "warp ten"?; what's a "temporal vortex"?; why are Federation weapons so ungainly? Ignore these minor issues for later reflection. For now, watch this film for the adventure and the people living it. There's plenty of adventure and some of the people are a treat.
The adventure is a chase through time and space to Earth of this century. The Borg, a triumph of biotechnology, are trying to disrupt history itself. A mixture of machine and organisms, they are personified as the epitome of evil. They aspire to assimilate members of any sentient species into their "perfect" collective. They simply want everybody to be like them: rather like globalization on a galactic scale. Their leader is rather like a queen bee, a superior among equals . She's a truly gross character, both physically and morally, the perfect example of the "modern woman" as a corporate manager. Superbly portrayed by Alice Krige, one can only wish the make-up team who turned this beautiful South African into such a monster roast in the eternal flames. The scene of her blowing on the android Data's emotion chip will remain etched in the viewer's memory forever.
Most of the other Enterprise crew break a little from their traditional TV series roles from time to time. Picard sheds his lofty role as Captain as he guides the confused Lily Sloane [Alfre Woodard] through a glimpse of her future. Counselor Deanne Troi, usually so cool and collected, becomes wonderfully sloshed in a Rocky Mountain grog shop. Worf the Klingon lapses a moment into space sickness. Jonathan Frakes, as the film's director, has no time for acting, still pompously blustering his way through events just as he does in the TV episodes.
The walkaway portrayal in this film is James Cromwell as Zefran Cochrane. Since faster-than-light travel is a mainstay of Star Trek tales, it was only logical that some means be devised to show us who perfected it. Cromwell is outstanding in shattering every image we have of the sombre, knowledge-seeking, ivory tower researcher. A lecherous old lush, practical as only an inventor can be, he seems more human than any other character in the film. Confronted by Chief Engineer Jordi La Forge's adulatory account of future honours, he bolts, fearing the wealth he dreamed of coming from his invention will evaporate. Cromwell evokes the common in all of us - how would we react if this mob appeared in our midst? Cromwell captures the wonder, resentment, fears and ambitions any of us might if confronted by our future. Calling his role "supportive" is a terrible misnomer - the film is clearly his.
In short, this is a speculative fiction film worthy of your consideration. There's much pathos, the visual effects don't overwhelm unduly, and the combat, which is a bit obtrusive, is still better than many of the type. The proximity in time to our own day brings an fillip of novelty from other Star Trek movies. It's worth watching and keeping, if for nothing else than to generate interest in younger viewers to see how close it comes to the reality of the future.

Luigi MReviewed in Italy on November 19, 20165.0 out of 5 stars buon prodotto da collezione
Il commento è incentrato sull'oggetto in se, non sul contenuto o la trama del film, cosa che dovrebbe essere già nota quando si acquista un prodotto simile. Se conoscete la saga e vi interessa iniziare o completare una collezione, vi consiglio di prendere questa edizione steelbook solo se trovate una buona offerta. DI per se contiene pochi contenuti extra e la confezione è davvero scarna, l'unica nota positiva è per gli appassionati dei box metallici. Per il resto ci sono serie da collezione molto meglio curate, a prezzi simili, visto che se non trovate offerte, per questo set di film in metallo vi viene a costare 100 euro.
