I distinctly remember seeing Star Trek: Nemesis during its opening weekend in a mostly empty theater auditorium. That experience was all too common for those few other fans who likewise made the effort. The film remains, to date, the lowest grossing Star Trek movie and the only one to lose money at the box office.… Read More This Doesn’t Feel Right – Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) 4K Ultra HD
You’d think that by its ninth feature film, the Star Trek franchise might have found some sense of consistency or had a clue how to build off the success of its biggest box office hit at the time (1996’s quite good Star Trek: First Contact).

Narrowed down specifically to the four Next Generation cast movies, it would have to land in second place – but to be… Read More It Was… Fun – Star Trek: Generations (1994) 4K Ultra HD
Endings can be a very tricky thing to get right, especially the third time around. After seven seasons on the air, Star Trek: The Next Generation bid a satisfying farewell to television in the 1994 series finale episode, All Good Things. Unfortunately, the crew’s subsequent feature film career mostly underwhelmed. In fact, their last outing… Read More Hope Is Never Lost – Star Trek: Picard Series Finale (2023)
Star Trek: Picard begins its third and final season haunted by the fact that (how to put this delicately?) the show’s first two seasons basically sucked. I’m honestly at a loss to decide which of the two was worse, but at the moment am inclined to say the second. Planned as a big reunion and… Read More The Past Matters – Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Premiere (2023)
