In the 24th century, the crew of the Enterprise-E has been ordered to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone by the Federation to avoid interference with their battle against the insidious Borg. Witnessing the loss of the battle, Captain Jean-Luc Picard ignores orders and takes command of the fleet engaging the Borg. But the Borg plan to travel back into the 21st century through a vortex with the intention to stop Earth's first contact with an alien race (the Vulcans). Following the Borg sphere, Picard and his crew realize that they have taken over the Enterprise in order to carry out their mission. Their only chance to do away with the Borg and their seductive queen is to make sure that Zefram Cochrane makes his famous faster-than-light travel to the stars.
The Borg travel back in time intent on preventing Earth's first contact with an alien species. Captain Picard and his crew pursue them to ensure that Zefram Cochrane makes his maiden flight reaching warp speed.
STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT is the 8th movie in a series that has so far produced 11 movies.
This is my second favourite of the Star Trek movies, second only to STAR TREK: THE WRATH OF KHAN. Like STAR TREK: THE WRATH OF KHAN, this movie can also be enjoyed by both those familiar to the Star Trek franchise and those new to it. Reading through the comments, I have noted comments from people who enjoyed it as a sci-fi action movie in its own right.
I will sum up the plot with those unfamiliar with Star Trek in mind - an alien race known as the Borg apathetic to individuality go back more than 300 years in time to attack Earth, colonise it and absorb its inhabitants into its collective. Captain Picard of the USS Enterprise follows the Borg back to Earth to stop their plans.
This very simple plot line brings an energetic story filled with virtually non-stop shoot-em-up action. Unlike most action movies, however, the antagonist is far more menacing. The Borg have no concept of individuality. It cannot be reasoned with. Killing one Borg barely has the impact of, say, removing one blood cell from a human body. The Borg in this movie are far more menacing than they were in the TV series.
For those familiar with the Star Trek franchise, I can confirm that all the familiar faces from the crew in the THE NEXT GENERATION series all appear here - Picard, Riker, Data, Geordi, Worf, Dr Crusher and Troi.
The movie represents a massive transformation from its predecessor, STAR TREK: GENERATIONS. For the first time we witness many members of the TNG crew behave or tempted to behave out-of-character due to the scale of the situation they find themselves in. Without giving away spoilers, I can state that characters in this movie face the prospect of having to turn against one another.
The acting across the board is top-notch. The actors' performances are so captivating that they genuinely invite the audience to share the feelings of their characters.
Patrick Stewart deserves special mention because he faces the greatest acting challenge - reprising his role as a character he played for 7 years in the TV series and a prior movie - now having to play the said character, Captain Picard, in a very different manner. The Captain Picard of this movie is not the calm diplomat from the TV series, he is someone with anger-fuelled determination to get revenge on the Borg, who once altered his biology so that he became part of their collective for a short time. His performance has to be seen to be believed and is enough to silence critics who claim he is unable to play a hero.
Alice Krige gives what is perhaps the best performance of her career as the Borg Queen. Her performance provides a perfect distraction from the major plothole - the existence of a head of the Borg collective. The Borg collective communicates as one voice with each drone being the same. So it could not feasibly have a single leader. When you see Alice Krige in action, however, you will find it easy to suspend your disbelief.
James Cromwell has fun playing Zephram Cochrane, the inventor of the warp drive referenced all through the franchise. For those unfamiliar with Star Trek, the warp drive is a component able to make starship engines travel at hyper speeds. I found the Zephram Cochrane in this movie much more exciting to watch than the bland version played by Glenn Corbett in an episode of the original series.
The real drawback with regards to the acting is Alfre Woodard. She was not a convincing lover or protégé for Picard and I couldn't help but wonder if she was drafted in as a replacement for Whoopi Goldberg. For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Whoopi Goldberg played a character named Guinan in the TNG series. She acted as a protégé ready to give wise words of advice to many crew members on the ship, including Picard.
Jonathan Frakes shows that he is just as good behind the camera as he is in front of it. His direction brings a great science-fiction story to life that is genuinely thought-provoking, emotionally moving and highly entertaining. In my opinion, he should have been nominated for an Oscar for Best Direction for his work on this movie.
The new starship Enterprise-E seems very dark and claustrophobic compared to the seemingly vast, bright and colourful Enterprise-D from the TV series and the previous movie. However, the Enterprise-E provides a perfect backdrop for the action to take place since its feel fits the tone of the movie perfectly. A wise decision was made to keep the bulk of the action on the ship rather than on Earth. Having said that, the events depicted on Earth help to offset the tension and allowing the audience to take a quick breath before being thrust back in again. The mix of light and dark works like a charm.
To summarise, STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT is a first-rate entry into the Star Trek series of movies that can be enjoyed by Star Trek fans and newcomers to Star Trek alike. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys sci-fi action movies.
1st watched 3/19/1997 - 6 out of 10 (Dir-Jonathon Frakes): Good star trek flick, 1st with Pacard and crew at helm throughout the whole movie. Very action filled despite the usual slow-moving series that the characters come from. Not being a trekkie it takes me a while to enjoy these movies, but I usually do before it's over.
The excitement comes from Frakes's direction -- his liveliness, and his pleasure in looking at, and showing us, events and images.
After the Borg attack Earth in the 24th century, the Enterprise-E follows them back to the 21st century in order to stop them from altering Earth's history specifically, preventing Zefram Cochrane from making his famous first attempt traveling at warp speed (faster-than-light), which resulted with the Earth's first contact with alien life. While Riker, Troi, and Geordi are on Earth ensuring that Cochrane makes his flight, the rest of the Enterprise crew is faced with protecting the ship from a Borg invasion and installment of a Borg Queen (Alice Krige). All of the Enterprise-D crew is back: Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), Commander Will Ryker (Jonathan Frakes), Lieutenant Commander Data (Brent Spiner), Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge (LeVar Burton), Lieutenant Commander Worf (Michael Dorn), Dr Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden), counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), and Majel Barrett as the voice of the Enterprise computer. In addition, it features the character Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell), who was introduced in the Star Trek original series episode "Metamorphosis" (1967). The Holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) from Star Trek: Voyager (1995) also makes a short cameo appearance. It takes place in the year 2373 A.D., six years after Picard was captured and assimilated into the Borg and given the name Locutus in TV series episode "The Best of Both Worlds: Part 2" (1990). It is one of the things that Captain Picard could only know due to having been assimilated by the Borg. He shared the Borg's thoughts so that they learned all his knowledge about Starfleet and Earth's defenses. However, during his assimilation, he also learned a lot of information about the Borg and their ships. He was never supposed to be freed from the Borg Collective and able to use this information against them. It justifies his remark that "no one knows the Borg as I do". Obviously, these experiences have taught him that there is a hidden vulnerability on the Borg cube, although the Borg have disguised it or made it seem non-vital. Given the fact that this area is located on the outside suggests that it is something connected to the cube's weapons or shields system; vital areas would ideally be built in a ship's interior for better protection, but weapons and shields are located at a ship's surface by necessity. It could also be a weak power node, something that can be easily overloaded, causing an energy cascade fatal to the ship. Since they were to avoid contact with 21st century Earth until they could be rescued by Starfleet, they were sent to Gravett Island, a fictional island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. When the Phoenix has left Earth's gravity, Ryker and Geordi engage the warp drive while Cochrane sits back to enjoy the ride. Meanwhile on the Enterprise, the Borg Queen orders Data to destroy the Phoenix. Data fires off three torpedoes but, at the last minute they miss the Phoenix. The Queen realizes that Data has betrayed her just as Data breaks a coolant tank, releasing corrosive vapours into the atmosphere. Picard grabs a hose and attempts to crawl above the vapours, but the Borg Queen grabs onto his leg. Data grabs her leg and pulls her back down. The vapour has the effect of eating away the biological components of the Borg, leaving them non-functional. It also eats away the skin grafts that the Queen had given Data as a "gift". In a voice-over, Picard begins to describe how the Phoenix was eventually spotted by the alien vessel. Their ship lands on Earth and opens to reveal three Vulcans. "Live long and prosper", they say in greeting; to which Cochrane replies, "thanks". While the Vulcans are welcomed by Cochrane, Picard says goodbye to Lily (Alfre Woodard). Then he, Ryker, Troi, Crusher, and Geordi beam up to the Enterprise. Picard orders the recreation of the vortex that plunged them into the past, and the Enterprise disappears from view. In the final scene, Cochrane and the Vulcans are enjoying drinks together in his makeshift tavern. Yes, a novelization of the movie by American science fiction writer J.M. Dillard (pen name for Jeanne Kalogridis), was released in 1996. So far, there are 13. Star Trek: First Contact was preceded by Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) (1979), Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982) (1982), Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) (1984), Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) (1986), Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) (1989), and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) (1991), all of which feature the Enterprise captained by James T Kirk (William Shatner). In Star Trek: Generations (1994) (1994), the crew of the Enterprise captained by Jean-Luc Picard was introduced. Star Trek: First Contact was followed by Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) (1998) and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) (2002). Star Trek (2009) (2009), Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) (2013) and Star Trek: Beyond (2016) (2016) harken to an alternate reality in which Kirk was just beginning his career with Starfleet Academy. No. The Queen should be seen as the manifestation or personification of the Borg collective mind, not the "brain" which normally houses the entire collective and commands all drones. The Queen is a female drone that can be used when the Borg feel interaction with other species needs to be through a more personal approach, such as the temptation of Data and Picard. The writers have admitted that the Queen was a plot device for this purpose, as a disembodied voice alone would not have been very persuasive. If the Queen in First Contact was indeed the controller of all Borg, that would mean that the Borg in the 24th century would immediately be without a consciousness as soon as the Queen travels back in time and doesn't return. However, this doesn't happen, as the crew of the Voyager also has several run-ins with the Borg and the Queen, and the Queen can be resurrected each time. It is interesting to note that when the Queen is destroyed in the plasma, the other Borg drones immediately malfunction and power down, suggesting she had taken total control over those drones when they were separated from the rest of the Collective. However, in the Enterprise (2001) episode "Regeneration", which takes place a century after First Contact with the Vulcans, a few Borg drones are recovered from wreckage of the Borg Sphere that ended up on the North Pole. After thawing out, they quickly regenerate and form their own mini-Collective, seemingly without ill effects from the Queen's destruction 100 years earlier. In the Voyager episode "Dark Frontier", in order to escape, Captain Janeway destroys a Borg power node, which (temporarily) disables the Queen's command interface and thereby her control over the Collective; however, this does not stop the Borg from laying in a pursuit moments later. These examples all illustrate that the Queen is an important, but by no means essential part of the Borg Collective. Some writers of non-canon Star Trek novels have even suggested the Queen is a separate program within the hive mind and can be implemented as the need for a single-acting drone arises or even as a signal booster to connect Borg that are spread out over many light years. In the episode "I Borg", the Enterprise crew found a single Borg drone that was severed from the Borg Collective. They named him "Hugh" and taught him the value of individuality. Hugh was eventually returned to the Collective by the Borg, but his ideas of individuality spread throughout his ship and caused a lot of Borg drones to reject their collective mind and revert to their original individuality. This group is subsequently encountered in "Descent: Part 2" (1993), raising the question as to why not all Borg have been "freed" this way by the time Star Trek: First Contact takes place, since all Borg are connected by a subspace network. The reason may be a combination of factors. For one, it is known that that the Borg's collective consciousness will reject anything that would threaten their hive mind, as was demonstrated in Voyager episode "Unimatrix Zero: Part 1" (2000). Also, the idea of shared consciousness is particularly deeply rooted in the Collective and fiercely defended by older drones, especially when separated from the Collective (such as Seven of Nine displayed in Voyager episode "Survival Instinct" and in her later life). And even after successful separation, some freed individuals still long to a form of collective mind (Voyager episode "Unity"). Consequently, Hugh may have introduced his radical idea of individuality into the entire Collective, but it can be expected that many drones, and therefore the hive mind, would largely resist this idea. They would even take measures to eliminate this dangerous thought from their consciousness and destroy drones that have embraced the idea and continue to spread it. Therefore, it is more plausible that Hugh had to introduce the idea subtly, perhaps one drone at a time, to see if the idea would stick and, at the same time, remain undetected. Of course, the rest of the Borg would inevitably find out at one point that drones were breaking off from the Collective and would take measures against it, which explains why the Borg Collective is still largely intact. a5c7b9f00b
