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.
