What
a disappointment "Star
Trek: Nemesis" turned out to be. Mainly thanks to the
way this movie was treated in London's West End, stuffed in the
tiniest screen of the dreadful Warner West End, it felt
like a home movie in someone's tiny living room. At the Empire,
Leicester Square , this film would have felt grand and majestic,
the special effects would have been immensely impressive and
the plot would have felt expansive and original. Sadly
this film was released at a bad time, with too much competition
elsewhere, there
was no hype, no big screen opening (apart from the premiere
which I refused to attend after the complete fiasco of
a previous Next
Generation premiere). It received a bad press in the
US and as a result was treated badly here in the UK. Yes the
plot
is similar
to "Wrath of Khan", but what the heck this
is Star Trek, on the 'big' screen again! What more can
you ask for?
Perhaps a movie
not being taken over by two of the cast. Perhaps
I will feel different when I see it again, on DVD, NOT
at the Warner! Opened January 2003.
