[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1217996"][QUOTE="arkquimanthorn:1217926"][QUOTE="ShadowSD:1217924"]the homogenized dreck the TNG movies became. Now THAT would be a movie.[/QUOTE] I thought First Contact was okay, I haven't seen any other TNG ones[/QUOTE] First Contact was the best of the sorry bunch, but utterly mediocre and in many ways incredibly disappointing. It made the usual TNG movie mistakes of: 1. Placing Picard with a woman he has no chemistry with and making them have lots of awkward scenes together 2. Changing the look of the ship and the atmosphere that made the show work so well 3. Making Picard respond to an Admiral going down the wrong path by changing from the usual brilliant strategist on the TV show (consider the skill at every step of the game with which he had to challenge Admirals in the series who were wrong while staying in the framework of his rank) to a go it alone action movie guy who does whatever he wants, and then as he tries to sneak off to do something against the rules, the whole crew pops up and says "we're going with you!". I don't know whether to vomit or to lose IQ points more quickly when I watch those moments. 4. Which leads us to the general fact that the series was as much about posing questions for the person watching to contemplate again and again throughout the show, it was a fundamental part of what made it what it was. The movies are just an attempt to stick the TNG universe into dumbed down, homogenized Hollywood dreck. What's uniquely objectionable about First Contact? Well first off, The Borg, a race of automatons, now have a QUEEN for some reason, who imprisons us and Data in order to have a dozen boring and equally uncomfortable scenes with him (who would have thunk a perpetual threat of having human skin grafted on someone against their will wouldn't be a classic TNG plot?) Never mind the absolute shit unbelievable representation of the era where the warp barrier is broken (Zephyrn Cochran, fucking please) - not to mention the attitude of the TNG characters riding with him and their sudden lack of caring about messing with the timeline.
