The three movies featuring the Enterprise-E appear in the format they always deserved: as episodes in an 8th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, as if it had aired on premium cable following the finale of Deep Space 9.

Each episode lasts one hour. Tone and characterization attempts to hew more closely to the show, unnecessary subplots and characters have been dropped, and the franchise concludes on a significantly different note.

The NexGen’s final theatrical outing was a messy affair, plagued with an uninspired, safe script that catered more to the whims of its two lead actors than to needs of story and character. It was further hampered by miserable direction by Stuart Baird. This edit tries to remove many of the sillier and offensive moments of the movie, with biggest change being the complete removal of the B4 Android subplot, and leaving the audience with a darker character piece that focuses solely on Picard vs. Shinzon.

These are 4 in depth reviews about all 4 TNG Star Trek movies. In his unique, funny, very smart and to the point way RedLetterMedia shows us what went wrong with all these movies and why the TV shows were so much better. Star Trek Generations is considered by him the worst movie ever made. And Nemesis is not much better. In here we also learn more details about the “accident” of his wife and pizza rolls.

Star Trek: Nemesis falls into the trap of all of the Next Generation movies, which is trying to ape the formula of previous, more successful films. But, with a villain with inconsistent motives, a director more interested in action beats than actual character, and a cast/crew behind the scenes that had lost perspective of what makes Trek great, they made a lackluster send-off for the crew of the Enterprise-E.
