The Borg travel back in time to assimilate humanity and disrupt Earthās first warp drive test. The Enterprise follows to stop them, with Picard having Borg flashbacks and the Borg Queen attempting to seduce Data. Like multiple of the films that came before it, a cast member takes over the directorās chair. This time it
Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002)
This film has a vast advantage over the other two prequel films: it has parallel stories. The Anakin stuff is again pretty bad, with Christensen putting in a career-mutilating performance as he and Natalie Portman utter uncomfortable āromanticā dialog. But with this film, if we removed the bad material, thereās still something left. Obi-Wan has
Star Trek:Ā Nemesis (2002)
Nemesis is better than it has any right to be. This is faint praise as it shouldnāt be any good at all. That it is watchable (on free cableāit is not worth actually paying for) is a miracle. There were no good decisions made in constructing this film: An unemotional and unnecessary wedding scene. Yet
Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983)
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
Star Wars 7 is a construction more than a film, made up of pieces from the other six films (mainly the original three and primarily A New Hope). Itās all homages and repeats. Itās well done, with every aspect meticulously crafted. We may have seen it all before, but the new paint looks good. The
Star Trek: Generations (1994)
Captain Kirk is pulled into a giant space-time ribbon so that he can later meet Captain Picard. Thereās also some things about a mad scientist and grumpy Klingons, but they donāt matter. Call it, Fan Service, The Motion Picture. The plot, what there is of it, is based on who signed a contract (Leonard Nimoy,
Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Note: For those grabbing torches and pitchforks, I am givingĀ EmpireĀ a good rating. I know here is where people will get upset with me as many want to rankĀ EmpireĀ as #1, but it just doesnāt belong there. Yes, the cinematography is a little better, but it was good in Star Wars {A New Hope}. Yes, the acting
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
In order to earn enough money to rescue Qiāra (Emilia Clarke), the girl he left behind, Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) teams up with Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) and they join a gang of bandits led by Beckett (Woody Harrelson). When the job goes south, they are forced to take on a more dangerous heist for mob
Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977)
It all started here. It was all new. Iād never seen anything like this before and it was breathtaking. The first scene, with the rebel ship flying overhead followed by the star destroyer, is amazing and has never been equaled. Star Wars took old stories and myths and icons, tossed them into a sandy blender,
Captain Marvel (2019)
In the mid-1990s, Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) is an amnesiac space soldier of the Kree empire, part of an elite squad lead by Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), tasked to fight the shape-changing Skrulls. A mission goes wrong and she is separated from her team, captured by the Skrull Talos (Ben Mendelsohn), and mind-probed. She escapes
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
An Imperial pilot (Riz Ahmed) has defected with news of a new super weapon called The Death Star ā good name. The rebellion needs the information the pilot has as well as to stop the lead weapons-maker (Mads Mikkelsen), so they free Jyn (Felicity Jones), the weapons-makerās daughter, from imperial custody and send her with
