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

- Mindless Action
What is wrong with today's audience?Mindless action flicks like First Contact and Star Trek (2009) are eaten up like nothing else.Save your money and watch the first four Star Trek movies.

- Great movie, crappy DVD
First Contact isn't just a good Star Trek movie, but it's an awesome movie period.Unfortunately, this version of the movie doesn't have any sort of special feature to speak of, and the menus seem really phoned in.If you're just looking to pick up the movie to watch every once in a while, as I was, then go for it.If you're a true Trekkie trying to complete his or her collection, you might be able to find a collector's edition somewhere else.
Rating: - (Non-trekkie rating) The best Trek movie ever, better than The Wrath of Khan
The special effects are awesome, the music is stirring and next to TNG season 5 episode 25 "The Inner Light", this is my favorite piece of Star Trek story telling. I like it better than even Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. I had to write this non trekkie review to counter the nerdie trekkies one star ratings. Nerds! Get a life! They will probably rate the new take on the original Star Trek a one also! GEEEEEEEKZ!!!Go suck on a light-sabre! Even though "Trek" is a possibility over "Wars", Technology ... Read More
Rating: - A solid action film, even if it packs just punches
CONS:
Modern Hollywood action film, if you've seen Eagle Eye, you've seen this. Warp speed plot. Fast dialogue of things we haven't been made aware of yet, the techno babble about "First Contact."
Fans of the original series, it's mostly an popcorn action film and I would not recommend this for you....
PROS:
There are many well played intense actions scenes between Picard and the Borg (his arch nemesis).
On the DVD edition, Jonathan Franks ... Read More
Rating: - Star Trek: Let's Do A Zombie Movie
This movie soars above the previous outing in film-making quality, writing, action and just about any way you can think of. It is also much darker, contributing to this outing becoming the first movie in the Star Trek series to receive a PG-13 rating.
Taking a page from the lesson learned from The Wrath of Khan, they decide to bring back a known foe: the Borg. Granted, each time we meet the Borg, it is a different group, thus not necessarily qualifying as a simple recurring villain, but given ... Read More
