Star Trek: Nemesis

Found some old notes about Star Trek: Nemesis. I saw it the day after opening day which means I was the last Trekkie to see it.

Pros:

• Great script. Thanks, John Logan!
  
• Excellent production design. The movie looked great.
  
• Wesley Crusher was in the opening scene.
  
• Great chemistry between Picard and Shinzon. That relationship made the movie.
  
• Great space battles!
  
• That was one mean, ugly Remulan ship!
  
• No love interest for Picard.
  
• Cameos were kept to a minimum.
  
• That was Ron Perlman?
  

Cons:

• These actors are really showing their age.
  
• The Jeep joyride on the desert planet.
  
• The heavy makeup on Brent Spiner. Noticing that really took me out of the movie.
  
• Frakes channeled Stanley Hazzard one too many times.
  
• Wesley was in a Starfleet uniform. Didn't he run off with the Traveller at the end of his run on TNG?
  
• Most of the cast had little to do as usual.
  

More pros than cons, so I guess it's a winner!
