Starring: Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton
Director: Jonathan Frakes
The series now lacks all of its original stars and much of its earlier determination. It has morphed into something less innocent and more derivative than it used to be, something the noncultist is ever less likely to enjoy.
Top CriticStar Trek finally gets imaginative, exciting and - dare I say it? - kinky.

Focusing more on action sequences than characterisation, the breakneck pace gives an unsatisfying result.
The historic first Trek movie entirely divorced from the original cast is no blot on the franchise.
Enough classic moments to keep fans happy.
If you don't already know and enjoy Star Trek, this is nothing more than another passable science fiction film. If you are a fan of The Next Generation, then you'll enjoy this one.
One of the better entries in the Trek movie series, thanks to the most memorable villains from the Next Generation television series: the Borg
Compared to episodes before and those that followed, this eighth installment of the unkillable series is surprisingly watchable.
This makes little concession to non-initiates.
A thoroughly enjoyable visit with the crew of TV’s Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Top CriticOne of the better chapters in the long history of this prosperous franchise.
With its fascinating storyline and its adroit insights into human history, identity, and sexuality Star Trek: First Contact is a winner.
The most exciting entry in the Trek franchise since the The Wrath Of Khan.
This is a film that all the millions of Star Trek fans will treasure as one of the best in the now eight-film history of this hopeful future myth.
It's a great movie, and a great story.

Following in the wake of a trio of disappointing features, First Contact proves to be the most entertaining Star Trek in more than a decade.
