This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

For me, it is easy to say than it represents the best Sci. Fi. serie. many motifs. important is the same fascination about the episodes. because it is a source of answers. support for imagination. great example of impecable story. and good performances. because it propose conceptes and model for attittudes and answers. and start points for questions. story of a large family, it is the best.

A sad knockoff of the original series. This my be a brief review but at least it is to the point. Grow a pair.PS I have not reviewed yet the standards by which a review is deemed to be acceptable."The Children!! The Children!!" Bill MaherIs it kind? Is it "useful"?My standards."If the DJuras" (Patrick Stewart impersonation)

This series is a definite improvement over the original Star Trek. It has a better cast, better stories, much improved special effects and the production is much less stagy. Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner deliver superlative performances. Some episodes are especially dramatic. The problem is with the premise of the series. It's about a star ship, which is an instrument of war, going about the galaxies. It's security is constantly being breached and it's prone to break down under stress. These are literary contrivances. Ideally, the star ship should be impervious to being invaded, but if that were so, then there would be no story. Many of the crises in the series are caused by the Enterprise itself. It ventures into places that it is unwanted and is constantly a target for other alien life forms, some almost human, who want nothing to do with humans. The mere presence of the star ship provokes conflict. The star ship is not a research vessel, it is a warship, armed with an array of weapons that can destroy planets and which the crew is willing to use. This series raises a question: is it right for the human race to go to places where it is not wanted?

Though many Star Trek fans were doubtful that a new generation would brilliantly get the torch from the Original Series in such a classy way, needless to say this is a worthy Poker Bet (game played so often in several episodes !).Seven years of great adventures, lead by the courageous Captain Jean-Luc Picard (excellent Sir Patrick Stewart) and staff like Commander Riker, Deanna Troi, Dr. Beverly Crusher (except season 2), Geordi LaForge, Worf and the unforgettable Data. Not forgetting also Dr Pulaski (Diana Muldaur, season 2) and Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton, not so annoying after all, even after a "Shut Up Wesley" tease...).And enemies like the Ferengi, the Romulans (always so serious...), some Klingons (the House of Duras, which disgraced Worf's House of Mogh), and of course the Borg and the Cardassians at the end...But the most typical villain of all: "Q". The mischievous character portrayed by the excellent John de Lancie, gives the Enterprise crew a run for its money, from the pilot episode at least. So good to hear him call Picard "Mon Capitaine" in a cynical way ! Oh, and let's not forget Lwaxana Troi, portrayed by the late Gene Roddenberry's wife, the late Majel Barrett, whose antics not only embarrassed his daughter Deanna, but Captain Picard as well. We'll know later why she acts this way...Some of the old crew were in, most notable episode is the two parter "Unification" where the late Mark Lenard and the unforgettable Leonard Nimoy reprise their respective roles of Sarek and Spock (and what a great episode... Even Data knows how to do a good Vulcan nerve pinch). Two late actors, DeForest Kelley in the pilot as Admiral Dr.McCoy and James Doohan as Scotty in a great episode called "Relics".However, my favourite character was Data, portrayed by Brent Spiner, who did portray its creator, Dr. Soong, as well as his evil twin brother Lore. As Data is an android, we see him experience so many things, including love, but his emotions are absent here, however his discoveries about human nature, makes him one of us, despite the fact that he is a living computer, which at many times, saved the crew (but also threatened it... and was forgiven later...).So many adventures were shared by the crew, and of course the famous holodeck that can be transformed to any setting programmed.A series not to be missed... Like says the Captain: ENGAGE !
