An average movie

For several reasons, I was really eager to check this Star Trek flick. First of all, it was the first feature completely focusing on the Next Generation crew. Second, since we were now finally in the 90's, I was expecting some beter special effects. Finally, it is considered as many as the best Star Trek movie ever made. Well, eventually, even though I did enjoy this movie, to be honest, I wasn't really blown away. Still, I have to admit it, visually, it was definitely the best Star Trek movie so far, I especially enjoyed the introduction and the look of the Borgs. Furthermore, Patrick Stewart is really a fine actor, he gave a solid performance and the rest of the crew was pretty good too (even though Data was getting on my nerves on a regular basis). Unfortunately, the story was rather confusing. I mean, it was a good story but I was sometimes barely able to follow what was going on. Basically, the Borgs attacked the earth, Picard destroyed their Cube but the Borgs managed to send a Sphere to the Earth. Then, they got back in time to prevent the humans from getting the first contact with alien forms and Picard and Co followed them back in time to stop them. So, I did get this basic plotline but there were so many sub-plots and I was  often pretty much lost. Apparently, this movie was a follow-up to some episode of the Next Generation TV-show and since I haven't seen this show... Anyway, even though it didn’t completely work for me, it was still a decent Star Trek installment and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
