[Series Completion Project] "Star Trek Ten: Nemesis"

While the quality of even-numbered movies of the entire "Star Trek" series is generally higher than that of odd-numbered movies, the tenth part is an anomaly, and it ranks at the bottom in terms of word-of-mouth and box office. From the perspective of viewing experience, I personally think that although the film may be slightly lacking in humanistic feelings, the overall performance is not bad, the plot is smooth, and the emotional expression at the end is relatively in place, at least much better than the fifth.

Tom Hardy and his character "Xin Zang" is one of the highlights of the film, but at that time Tom Hardy's reputation was far less than it is now. Compared with today's domineering side leakage and a full body of tendon meat, Tom in 2002 is still quite slender and immature, but the surly temperament when playing the villain has already been shown. The character of Xin Zang appeared as a clone of Captain Picard. He was full of resentment due to the suffering he suffered in his childhood. It is just like Picard on the two sides of a coin. It can be seen how the acquired experience has a huge impact on a person’s personality. You can become a great captain like Picard, and you can also become a dangerous demon like Xin Zang lost in hatred.

Another attraction in the film is the space war. Although it can only be said to be average from the current point of view, this is the largest one among the first ten "Star Trek" movies. The seemingly gentle Captain Picard showed the fierceness of "preferring to break the jade rather than the completeness", and ordered the ship to collide with the ship at an emergency, which disintegrated the offensive of Xin Zang.

The cyborg "data" left the chance of life to Picard at the end of the film, but he made a heroic sacrifice, and his loyalty is moving. "Data" is the character closest to the predecessor Spock among the crew of this generation. As an artificial human, he has always shown himself rationally, but he has an envy of human nature and is curious about human emotions. He is always learning how to be a man. The real "people". Picard said at the end of the film: "In his search to be more similar to us, he helped us see the true meaning of being a human being. He is a miracle. His curiosity about all aspects of human nature makes us realize that we are the most On the bright side." Such an evaluation is enough to make "Data" one of the most classic robots in science fiction movies.

With Picard's resignation, the crew of this generation of Enterprise has also completed its historical mission, and the film derived from the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" TV series has come to an end. Correspondingly, my supplementary plan for the "Star Trek" series has also come to an end, and the new Star Trek movie reviews will be published separately. Although the quality of these ten films is uneven, I am still inspired by such a sci-fi series with a humanistic color and a grand vision during the completion process. If it can’t be listed as the best sci-fi series. If that is the case, it will definitely be one of them.

Star Trek: Nemesis quotes

  • Commander Deanna Troi: That was a lovely toast.

    Captain Jean-Luc Picard: It's from the heart.

    Commander Deanna Troi: And you needn't worry. I'm going to brief your new counselor on everthing she needs to know.

    Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, like hell you are. You already know too much about me. But I take it that there will be no speeches during the ceremony on Betazed?

    Commander William T. Riker: No, no speeches and... no clothes.

    Data: [toasting Riker and Troi] Ladies and gentlemen, and invited transgendered species. In my study of Terran and Betazoid conjugal rites, I have discovered it is traditional to present the happy couple with a gift. Given Commander Riker's affection for archaic musical forms, I have elected to present the following in honor of their conjugation.

  • Reman Viceroy: [in a telepathic connection with Troi] I'm with you, Imzadi. I'll always be with you now!
