Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
A no spoiler review: Best Trek movie.
As a huge Trek fan, I've been discouraged by some of the negative reviews Nemesis has received. I was not pleased with the previous three TNG films and very disappointed with First Contact--which received the most mainstream lauding. That's ridiculous. While enjoyable, so much more could have been done with the Borg. Never was the intimidation present as it was in the Best of Both Worlds episodes. What I'm getting to here is that Nemesis is nearly flawless. After two viewings, the only things that stuck out were poor CG effects when the little radiation devices come up. That semi-spherical pronged thingy. Those poor effects are nothing compared to the incredible ships, the best I've ever seen. They looked so real! The other complaint is a hail received that I thought disrupted the mood at one point. Oh, and one bolt. Anyway, those are minimal and had they been absent it'd only serve to make an outstanding film flawless. Okay, maybe I have to see it a couple more times before I say that, but it's definitely my fave of TNG, and I do like it better than Khan, but that was very good too.
Tom Hardy is excellent. The whole cast is excellent, as always. I'm now just looking forward to an extended cut on DVD. The DVD, though, can't compare to the theatrical experience, so go see it!
Das Versprechen (1994)
I'm an 18 year old male college student, read my thoughts.
Hello, I viewed Das Versprechen in Germany during the summer of 1997. Like most guys, I prefer the action genre, blood and guts and so. I appreciate good love stories, but usually don't take to them. My favorite genre is that containing art films and whimsical films(i.e. A Night on Earth, Il Mostro) I do not usually get emotional during a love story inspired film, but I did during this one. It certainly was not close to the depth of say Sophie's Choice, however it was an extremely well done film. I highly recommend taking a couple of hours to watch this film, after seeing it, one will feel better about one's person.
