come on now, It wasnt all that bad
By TiTan

Although there were many character flaws I have to say I still enjoyed watching this film. IMO I believe the film was a flop due to the direction, Stuart Baird did a horrible job directing it. From what I remember from interviews from some of the cast during filming, many were not happy with what they’re characters were told to do in the film. They would mention these inconsistencies to Baird and he took them with a grain of salt and dismissed them, stating that this is his film and he will do it as he pleases. Stuart Baird’s direction in many action films such as Tomb Raider, Mission Impossible II, and 1993’s Demolition Man were at best OK but he knew nothing about Star Trek or they’re characters. He even refused to watch old episodes and films of Star Trek. He wanted to mold this new film to his own vision of what ST is for him. Bad-bad mistake. He should have never taken the helm on this one. And when asked if he will include all the deleted scenes from the movie in a directors cut, he mentioned that the finished product is his directors cut. Argh!

I’ve read the Nemesis book and really enjoyed it. In fact, I enjoyed it more than the movie. If a more ST knowledgeable Director would of done the film I think that it would of faired much better. In addition, the timing of the release for Nemesis was a poor decision. Paramount was in such a rush to get the film out, they put it in theatres at the same time as the last film of the Lord of the Rings and (oh gosh dare I say…) Gigli. It was a bad decision if you ask me. They should have waited out the month or tried for 2003 release.

All in all, it’s just my personal opinion. I really enjoyed this film. It’s not TWoK or TUC, or for that matter FC, but it was enjoyable. Could it have been a better film? I think with the right director it could have been possible.
