Seeing Kirk and Picard in the same scene, even doing menial things, is still amusing (3 more)
Some interesting themes of time
The TNG crew is as likable as ever
Dennis McCarthy's subtle score is solid
The Nexus is a confusing plot device (1 more)
Feels too much like a TNG 2 parter
A bit too tvish perhaps, but not as bad as it's made out
While it does have flaws I do think Generations is better than it's regarded. The Nexus certainly creates a lot of plot holes and there's nothing this could have done that an episode of the show couldn't, but as someone who loves the show and TNG crew I find it enjoyable enough.

The Borg before Voyager demystified them (3 more)
Great blend of action, story, humor, and character
Seeing the First Contact between humans and Vulcans
Great acting from Patrick Stewart
Easily Picard and crew's best cinematic outing
The best (often seen as only good) entry in the TNG films is also one of the best Trek films period. The storyline blends both a Borg and Time Travel story in very clever ways and director Jonathan Frakes does a great job at keeping it fun.

Good character moments (3 more)
Light and fun
The scene where Geordi sees with his real eyes for the first time
A beautiful score by Jerry Goldsmith
A bit too light. By the end it feels like nothing has really happened. (1 more)
The moral quandary was interesting, but could have been way better
A fun, but inconsequential outing.
Like Generations, I feel this doesn't deserve the sour reputation it has. It is very inconsequential but if you love these characters it can be a fun watch, though sadly it feels like it could have been more if the Studio hadn't limited Frakes' vision.

The climactic battle is fun in a dumb action kind of way (1 more)
One of Jerry Goldsmith's final scores
The characters are lifeless (5 more)
The villain's plan is laughably stupid
The tone is dour and depressing, feels nothing like TNG
Constant continuity errors with the show
A piss poor send off for the TNG crew. They deserved much better than this.
Wastes the Romulans in their first major role in a movie
Just awful
The worst TNG movie by leaps and bounds. Nemesis is just awful to watch. It's dour and depressing for no reason and the plot is consistently stupid. It's just unpleasant, no joy to be found at all.

It is fun (2 more)
The cast gets their characters so very right, especially Karl Urban as bones
Michael Giacchino delivers a good score
I just don't like the aesthetic of the reboots. It doesn't look like Star Trek to me and the new Enterprise is honestly kind of ugly (3 more)
The plot is very contrived
Shaky cam
Not much going on thematically, mostly feels like a dumb actioner
Torn on this as a lifelong Trekkie
I can certainly understand why people enjoy this, but it just doesn't feel like Trek to me. Still it is enjoyable in its own way.
