46 - Star Trek: Nemesis

    I only saw it in the theater, and never got around to watching it a second time.

    The crew deals with a sub-class of the Romulan Empire, led by a clone of Picard, that plans on wiping out all life on Earth.

    But the plot doesn't matter exactly.  There's a lot of fun to be had in this movie.  Plenty more action than usual, and we get some noteworthy sequences - Data jumping through space, from one spaceship to another.  Two ships crashing into each other.  More space battle dogfights.  Picard using a laser rifle of some sort.  It's a lot of fun.  And there is a heart to it all - primarily the relationship between Picard and Data gets more time.

    But I did recognize some real problems.  Primarily, the core of the plot.  I have a hard time caring about Picard's relationship with his clone.  I have a hard time caring about the clone at all.  And there's some really forced stuff with Troi.  Ugh.
