About this movie

After an epic battle against the Borg (cybernetically-enhanced life forms), Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise follow the Borg Sphere back into the 21st century to prevent the Borg from contaminating Earth's timeline and preventing Earth's first contact. Picard and the crew must work together to battle the Borg Queen before she assimilates all of mankind and changes history forever. Resistance is futile.

Until Nemesis came out, this was the worst of the TNG movies. Star Trek devalues one of its most iconic antagonists in favor of making a science fiction zombie movie. Don't fail to miss it!

Great action, great humor, great cast. A few little narrative inconsistencies and conveniences keep it from getting a 5, but still easily one of the best Trek films ever made.

First Contact is of the same level as "Kahn" for ToS. James Cromwell and Alice Kriege area amazing as guest actors in this film and I truly believe this was the finest work by the entire cast. There's little bits of humor mixed in (Tough little ship) to lighten this very dark movie and Picard's speech in the Conference Room is amazingly delivered. First Contact was even used in the Mirror Universe episode of "Enterprise". You don't need to be a Trek fan to enjoy this movie.
