Word of Mouth Has Killed

[Atrocities]

What can ya say, looks like the verdict is in, Star Trek Nemisis is now an offical flop.

Word of mouth among the fans killed this movie. They cut too much out of it, killed Data, and tried to make it an action movie instead of a Star Trek movie.

This according to the news report I just watched about the Top scores and the Bottom feeders of the Box office this Last year.

I don't think it is a fair assesment of Nemisis, because it has been out for less than a month against LOTR TTT, Harry Potter II, and a few other heavy hitters.

(Oh ya, Catch me if you can was a perty good flick.)

Paramount dropped the ball releasing Nemisis in the same month as TTT. What a colosal FU.

Yea i agree with you on the assessment atrocities. I saw nemesis and was actually pleased..it was decent and a lot better than Insurrection, but when you release it with LOTR:TTT it was bound to lose. I believe a non traditiional time like somewhere in march would have been better, of course I dont think there is going to be another star trek movie...this might be the end of the franchise...you cant really develop a star trek movie on DS9 or Voyager...
i felt like i did when i HAD to go see Star Wars Episode II: I knew it was going to be predictible but I had to see it

I thought Nemesis was pretty good. Certainly way better than Insurrection. Sure, it was a bit dark and had action-movie tendencies, but the space battle was outstanding and the story was pretty good compared to the other Star Trek movies. In my opinion, Nemesis is the third best Star Trek movie after Wrath of Khan and First Contact. I hope that this isn't the end of Star Trek movies. But I agree, it would be kind of tough to create a movie out of DS9 or Voyager because these series had definite conclusions at the end. I haven't been watching Enterprise so I don't know what's going on with that, but I'm not sure if people will be too excited if they made a movie out of that. Star Wars II was awesome. I have seen it 5 times so far. Two more years of waiting for episode III...

I don't think it will be the end of the Star Trek movies. Sure they can't make a movie out od DS9 or Voyager but I am sure they could come up with a new crew or something. I mean without a TV series to sort of set up the movie with what kind of people they are would be pretty hard to do. But it is possible. Just make it a 3 hour movie.

I think if we see a new ST movie it will probably be about the cast of Enterprise. Of course a lot depends on what kind of following the new series generates. If it peters out we may not see another ST movie for a while, if ever.

First contact was a good movie, but it hardly compares with The Undiscovered Country and the Voyage Home, which are both better than Wrath of Khan.
