Review of Star Trek: First Contact

I'm not the biggest Star Trek fan but I do enjoy it. I have not gone to the extent of labeling my fandom of the franchise as of yet. I've seen 4 Trek movies up to this point and enjoyed them all to varying degrees. First one was Wrath of Khan which is just an awesome Sci-fi movie. Second was Generations which wasn't spectacular but I enjoyed it just the same. Then came JJ Abrams "Star Trek" which is just phenomenal enough cannot be said about this fantastic "re boot" to the series. Yesterday I got from Netflix Star Trek: First Contact. I really dug this movie without really knowing much of the back story. Picard is here so is the standard TNG gang. The story circles around the return of the Borg and there here to assimilate everybody and resistance is usually futile. Picard still has remnants of the Borg implants that he got put in when he was assimilated in a 2 part episode of the show so he can here them talking in his head. Also when the borg escape from destruction from the enterprise they create a time vortex that bring them to the day before the warp drive is created and there for having "first contact" with an alien race.when the away team is sent down to make sure the ship is created on time. Back on the Enterprise the borg is slowly taking over the ship deck by deck and making quick work of the red shirts. Data is captured and the Borg queen implants human parts to make him feel more real to try to convince him to be part of the collective. When the ship is almost Completely over run by Borg it is suggested they abandon ship. Picard with revenge in his heart refuses to leave the ship to take down the Borg. I'm not to thrilled with Picard in this movie he seems extremely week and let's his feelings control him to the point he's a little bitchy. Warf and Data are the MVPs of the flick with them both kicking some borg ass. I liked this movie and is considered to be one of the best Trek movies made. Its a Definite Buy for new Trek fans (old ones should already have it) and Watch for your casual SciFi fans. Check it out. Thanks for reading. Till next time.
