 "It's doubtful that Nemesis will please everyone -- particularly the hardcore fans -- but for casual Trek viewers, this is a pretty good ride."
-- Ethan Alter, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
 "It almost plays like Solaris, but with guns and jokes."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Star Trek: Nemesis meekly goes where nearly every Star Trek movie has gone before. Wince-inducing dialogue, thrift-shop costumes, prosthetic makeup by Silly Putty and Kmart blue-light-special effects all conspire to test Trekkie loyalty."
-- Todd Anthony, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"'How many more voyages can this limping but dearly-loved franchise survive?'"
-- Paul Arendt, TELETEXT (UK)
"Light years/ several warp speeds/ levels and levels of dilithium crystals better than the pitiful Insurrection. Which isn't to say that it's the equal of some of its predecessors."
-- Daniel Baig, FILMSTEW.COM
"The latest adventure of “The Next Generation” crew is a rip-roaring space opera that, while containing some grand set pieces, is a bit uneven, failing to realize its full potential."
-- Bob Bloom, JOURNAL AND COURIER (LAFAYETTE, IN)
"Instead of contriving a climactic hero's death for the beloved-major- character-who-shall- remain-nameless, why not invite some genuine spontaneity into the film by having the evil aliens' laser guns actually hit something for once?"
-- Josef Braun, VUE WEEKLY (EDMONTON, CANADA)
"The bottom line with Nemesis is the same as it has been with all the films in the series: Fans will undoubtedly enjoy it, and the uncommitted needn't waste their time on it."
-- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR
"Devotees of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan will feel a nagging sense of deja vu, and the grandeur of the best Next Generation episodes is lacking."
-- Howard Cohen, MIAMI HERALD
"...the best movie featuring the Next Generation cast, and a movie that’s (almost) every bit as great as [Treks] II and VI."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"A strong enough effort to be worthy of faint praise."
-- Duane Dudek, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"This tenth feature is a big deal, indeed -- at least the third-best, and maybe even a notch above the previous runner-up, Nicholas Meyer's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country."
-- David Edelstein, SLATE
"Better than the tepid Star Trek: Insurrection; falls short of First Contact because the villain couldn't pick the lint off Borg Queen Alice Krige's cape; and finishes half a parsec (a nose) ahead of Generations."
-- David Elliott, SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

"Nemesis has a delightfully nasty villain and pumped-up action, albeit along familiar lines."
-- William Arnold, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"...grows decidedly flimsier with its many out-sized, out of character and logically porous action set pieces."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"Surprisingly, considering that Baird is a former film editor, the movie is rather choppy."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"The values that have held the Enterprise crew together through previous adventures and perils do so again-courage, self-sacrifice and patience under pressure."
-- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH
"Pap invested in undergraduate doubling subtexts and ridiculous stabs at existentialism reminding of the discovery of the wizard of God in the fifth Trek flick."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"The Enterprise is losing speed."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"If you've grown tired of going where no man has gone before, but several movies have - take heart. This is the best Star Trek movie in a long time."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"Sure, it’s more of the same, but as the film proves, that’s not always a bad thing."
-- Mark Dujsik, MARK REVIEWS MOVIES
"We do get the distinct impression that this franchise is drawing to a close."
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES
"This 10th film in the series looks and feels tired."
-- Marshall Fine, JOURNAL NEWS

Avg. Rating: 5.9/10 |
"Not a bad premise, but the execution is lackluster at best."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
"It has become apparent that the franchise's best years are long past."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"As spent screen series go, Star Trek: Nemesis is even more suggestive of a 65th class reunion mixer where only eight surviving members show up -- and there's nothing to drink."
-- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
"Too much of Nemesis has a tired, talky feel."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
"Star Trek was kind of terrific once, but now it is a copy of a copy of a copy."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"It is far from the worst, thanks to the topical issues it raises, the performances of Stewart and Hardy, and that essential feature -- a decent full-on space battle."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST
"A respectable venture on its own terms, lacking the broader vision that has seen certain Trek films ... cross over to a more mainstream audience."
-- Scott Foundas, VARIETY
"The overall feel of the film is pretty cheesy, but there's still a real sense that the Star Trek tradition has been honored as best it can, given the embarrassing script and weak direction."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"As lo-fi as the special effects are, the folks who cobbled Nemesis together indulge the force of humanity over hardware in a way that George Lucas has long forgotten."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Nemesis suffers from a paunchy midsection, several plodding action sequences and a wickedly undramatic central theme."
-- Mark Harden, DENVER POST

"Feels like a cold old man going through the motions."
-- Garth Franklin, DARK HORIZONS
