Critics Consensus

Nemesis has an interesting premise and some good action scenes, but the whole affair feels a bit tired.

Jake Cole

Slant Magazine

Nemesis looks as anonymous as it feels, a project that almost resembles an unrelated sci-fi movie with the Star Trek brand hastily plastered on for added brand value.

It's not bad, really. It is also the tenth Star Trek movie, which means an awful lot of celluloid featuring grown men wearing children's stretchy pyjamas and standing behind plasterboard consoles looking purposeful.

Lots of sci-fi action mixed in with messages about peace.

Deep Focus Review

Almost everything about Star Trek: Nemesis, both what’s on the screen and what’s not, proves disappointing for longtime and casual Star Trek fans.

Rated: 1.5/4

Ends the TNG run with neither a bang nor a whimper but something in between.

Although action pulsates through the story -- and it all builds to a suitably gripping climax -- Nemesis never really felt like a fitting send-off for the Next Generation crew.

Rated: 2/5

I’ve always enjoyed this movie. It’s far from the worst of the Star Trek movies and is even more enjoyable when taken into the context of Star Trek Picard.

Critics wrong again. This was definitely a decent Star Trek movie overall, more so than the critics would have you believe. Worth at least 3.5 stars... maybe even 4 but I'll stick with 3.5 for now.

It could have been a great movie, they had a wonderful villain, an almost unknown Tom Hardy acting better than the entire cast, with more than one memorable scene, an interesting story but a director as inept as he was irresponsible, with evident zero knowledge of the franchise and lack of interest in doing their job well.

So it does fix the production problem of the previous entry. It has much more of a look and feel of a movie rather than a TV show. But honestly, I'd prefer the last one looking like a TV show over this. The music is just as boring and forgettable. The acting overall is alright by everyone except for Tom Hardy as the villian and a big part of the reason why the pacing isn't good. He is so wooden, whiny, and just comes across as lame that he kills any momentum this has even for a second if it cuts to him. The conversations he as with Picard are so boring. He never is interesting at all. Maybe it's because this was Tom Hardy so early on and wasn't sure how to act but still. The cinematography and editing aren't good either. The CGI is alright I guess and the action really drags in the second half. It feels like a Sci-Fi movie in the first half and a Sci-Fi action flick in the second and just never can make the two concepts work together. This really devolves into borderline mindless action. It feels like the duality of Picard and his clone are almost forgotten about because the action goes on so long. The data subplot with his clone also just feels like an afterthought until the end as well. At least the previous one was a more interesting and cohesive plot. We traded one problem for multiple others. Skip This. Even for hardcore fans I struggle to find a reason anyone would like this.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Unwatchable. It killed the ST movie franchise until the Kelvin reboot.

You can't save a film that has bad writing by changing out the director... the problem that lets down Star Trek films is ALWAYS the writing.. and this film is no different... completely letdown by a story that just doesn't work, and decisions that are just done for the sake of doing them. Not worth watching.
