 | This is, without doubt, the best Star Trek movie.
As a Star Trek fan since age 4, there are a number of "inconsistencies" in the plot line, however. For example, the Romulan Neutral Zone is presented as only a few minutes away from Earth, although Earth is in the Aplha Quadrant while Romulus and Remus is in the Beta Quadrant. Also, Picard's blood feud with the Borg surfaces, although it was absent in The Next Generation (he had the opportunity to destroy the Borg in TNG and did not go for it!). And also, for the fans, we could have seen more than just 2 minutes of a space battle between the Federation and the Borg, something we missed out on in Part 2 of "The Best of Both Worlds."
Notwithstanding, First Contact is an excellent addition to one's DVD/VCR collection, due to its gripping plotline, action and also shows the viewer the opening events that paved way to the UFP being forumlated at the end of the movie. |

| This is "the" movie that played, when Star Trek had it's finest day. The music, the writing, the acting, and the Directing are all supurb. |

| I just finished a marathon of Star Trek with the purchases I just got from Amazon. I enjoyed it so much. I also purchased the following DVD's with this purchase:
Star Trek - The Original Crew Movie Collection (Special Edition)
Star Trek - First Contact (Special Collector's Edition)
Star Trek Generations (Special Collector's Edition) |

| This is simply a must-have for every Star Trek fan. I already had the video tape of First Contact, but the extra features and commentary were worth the price. Listening to Jonathan Frakes laugh at his own jokes got old after a while, but his commentary was presented as if he were casually sitting in your living room watching the movie with you.
This is, in my opinion, the best of the Trek movies, and I'm obviously not alone on this. I bought this DVD from Amazon because every Best Buy, Circuit City, FYE and other stores in the area were sold out. They had dozens of all the other Star Trek movies, but this one was evidentially hard to keep in stock. |

| There are no deleted scenes included in this dvd, which makes sense, because this is the only film besides Forrest Gump which test audiences said was fine as is. I read another review of this which consisted of a list of complaints abotu the film. All of those complaints are incorrect, as can be seen in a visit to movie-mistakes.com That being said, anyone who really appreciates movies will love First Contact, both in the context of Trek, and as an action/scifi/drama movie. |
