I quite liked the film, although as others have said it was more like an extended TV episode, I was gutted the Wesley Crusher scenes were cut out so I'll probably get this edition.
Stuart Baird's commentary
Is it known whether or not this is the same commentary that was on the original DVD release?
Oh, and for the record, I enjoyed the movie too. I'm not one of these trek fans who has to rate everything above this, that Berman sucks, and Star Trek is dead. Sure, it could use some new ideas, but it's not like this stuff is unwatchable or downright terrible. Too many fans just WANT to be negative.
There's a lot to like here, IMO. I saw it three times in the theatre, bought the first release, and will get this, too.
Having said all that, I think a change in the driver's seat is needed whenever Star Trek comes back. Bring in JMS, he's said he wants to do it.

I looked at the deleted scenes over the weekend. Five new deleted scenes along with the scenes that were on the original DVD. The new scenes have those ugly watermarks. I'll look at the DVD more after I get through another DVD I'm watching.

Which is why Berman and company never "got it" and why the movies and the franchaise are done. Starting with Generations, the ideas in the movies were never any bigger or exotic then in a standard episode. There was nothing super-duper special about them. The only movie that came even close was First Contact, which is regarded as by far the best TNG movie.
Nemesis was nothing more then a bunch of old ideas, most of which have all been seen in the movies and episodes of the show before. That left a bitter taste in my mouth. The movie was uncharacteristically poorly acted, directed and filmed. The script reads like a poor fanboy fantasy. The music was recycled from previous movies. The list goes on and on.
Therefore, it's my pick as the worst in the bunch. Insurrection wasn't much better and Star Trek V still has those character scenes during the camping - more substance then what was in Insurrection and Nemesis combined. Therefore, it's better then both.
But make no mistake, I think all three are bottom of the barrel awful.

"There wasn't enough closure at the end, unlike Undiscovered Country"
The original ending certainly gave a sense of closure. There was a genuine feeling that it was the end of the Next Generation, but sadly, the Powers-That-Be got greedy when they began to watch the movie coming together, thinking that they had a great movie that would clean up at the box-office...
...boy, if only they were able to sling-shot around the sun and travel forward in time to see it die, they'd have stuck with the original ending!

At least they had the good sense to include the Deleted Scenes from the original DVD release as there was never any mention in the spec if they would and I have seen the question asked quite alot since the 2 Disc Edition was announced.
Agreed. And if I remember correctly, it wasnt just Lord of the Rings they were up against...the Harry Potter film was showing, as was the last James Bond film. Its like those films are seen as "epic" whereas Trek films are kinda like "The Next Chapter" and should be released when they arent going to be overshadowed so easily. The huge DVD sales of Nemesis were quite suprising to Paramount when it was first released, which says something. I only go to see about 2 or 3 movies a year anymore because its way too expensive, but I was determined to see this one. I remember asking my friends who are Trek fans to go with me, and every freakin one of them told me they were going to see Lord of the Rings and couldnt afford two movies; or my friends with kids that knew they were gonna be stuck with taking the kids to see Harry Potter and couldnt afford to go to see another movie for awhile. Granted there were other issues here, but bad, bad timing was certainly one of them. The success of the first Nemesis DVD release is one of the main reasons Paramount is considering another Trek film at all.
Still, this film could have used more than just Logans love of the franchise. In that first DVD release, I remember seeing the deleted scene between Data and Picard that Logan wrote, and couldnt understand for the life of me why it was deleted---it sets up the connection between the two quite well for the ending, just as the scene between Kirk and Spock did in STII: Wrath of Khan. After listening to Stuart Bairds commentary on the first release, it was obvious what Logan was going for with some of the deleted material, but especially with this scene being cut it seems to me that Baird just didnt "get" Trek. Not a bad director, just someone with no feel for the franchise. I cant be too far off the mark, since before the film was even released, this quote was leaked to a Trek site: "Marina Sirtis (Troi) has made some disparaging remarks against director Stuart Baird saying his unfamiliarity with Trek has hurt the film." I wonder if Berman hired him, rofl.
Altho I thought they could have come up with some even better ideas from past TNG episodes, and despite the director being out of touch, I still thought this was a good movie overall. The screenplay by Logan (who also wrote Gladiator) couldnt be ruined, imho. Ironically one of my friends that waited for Rings instead of seeing Nemesis thinks this and WoK are the best movies, and whenever this is on he mentions regretting not going to see this at the theater, lol.
Now if the supposed prequel "Star Trek: Beginnings/Romulan Wars" actually happens, I cant help but wonder if that film will serve to reinvigorate the franchise, or put a nail in the coffin. Can only pray for the best, I guess. (*sigh*) Ahhh....I miss the Glory days of Star Trek....

I know I'll probably get lambbasted for this, but I liked Nemesis a lot. I thought Shinzon was a great bad guy. Not up to par with First Contact by any means but a heck of a lot better ythan Generations and the god awful Insurrection.
I think everyone should remember that the only people to blame for this being the lowest grossing Star Trek film of all time is Berman and company. I mean who else is going to release a film a week or so before Return of the King and expect to make money?

Easter Eggs
I wonder what the Easter Eggs will be?
Why is it than when Brent Spiner is required to act with emotion he always has to act like a complete twat?
God, don't use the words DVD and Soon so close together.
I'll be able to look at this DVD soon.
Thanks for the deleted scenes screen caps, tom.

As far as the theatrical release goes, I totally agree with you; I always wondered if Paramount really understood the juggernaut they were putting themselves against by releasing this one week prior to the second LOTR film here in the states and assuring that the film would not reach a broader audience past the diehard Trek fans. The film's release date aside though, this is still a subpar film that would have done better at the box office if it had actually good; when word of mouth got out that it wasn't, it made the decision on which film to see that second weekend for people all the easier.

Got this in the mail this morning. DTS track is exceptional, so loud infact I had to lower the volume from the norm - and the DD 5.1 was no slouch on the original release as it was.
I actually didn't think this movie to be all that bad. In my opinion, what killed the movie was that it was released right before the Two Towers. I do hope there will be another trek movie.
Star Trek Forever
Have they removed Berman's commentary?, because that's the only way I'm going to buy this. I was looking forward to the SE but ever since I heard about Berman's commentary track there was no way I was ever going to own it.
What's up, Paramount? You couldn't get Frakes, Sirtis, Spiner and Burton together for a commentary track? You think we want to hear Berman? Have you lost touch with your Trek audience that much?

Had this preorderd from the second it became available on amazon. I agree it isn't the best, but I still quite enjoyed it. Then again I am a pretty big TNG nut. I liked insurrection too. I can't wait to have this to complete my collection. Been waiting long enough.
Post No. 200!
I greatly enjoyed Nemesis and I must say that the menus look beautiful. I can't wait for Oct. 4th which is right around the corner!
I wasn't going to double dip, but now I'm very tempted -- especially seeing that they have this new section on the Romulan Empire. If anyone gets this, could you please post what you thought of that section? I'd appreciate that.
Hooray! My collection will be complete! Mwuahahaha!
Final Frontier is the worst, but Nemesis comes a very close second. The film plays out like it was written by about five different people who never talked to each other. That said, I suppose I'll pick it up just to complete the collection and check out the deleted scenes, especially since it's usually on sale the first week pretty cheap.
I see Berman's ego has finally gotten so big that he has to do a commentary track himself. Maybe he'll give us some insight into how he ran the franchise into the ground.

Geez, with all those menu and screen shots posted, I feel like now I don't have to get the disc. Kinda like watching a trailer for a movie that included all the good parts.
j/k
Got and had this pre-ordered for quite some time now.
As for whether or not this one or Insurrection is worse that Final Frontier, you've got to be kidding. Final Frontier is probably the worst thing Star Trek has ever put out. Insurrection is actually quite good, upon viewing it again recently on the new DVD. The only time I saw it before then was on VHS. 5.1 sound and DVD quality picture make a big difference.
And I've never seen Nemesis all the way through. So getting this DVD will be my first time viewing the whole thing. I passed on the first disc because I knew that it'd eventually get this CE.

Only Trek SE I have is First Contact, because it was only a fiver on import. Actually, I guess the DC of TMP counts as an SE, but they never released a single disc release so it's not strictly an 'upgrade'. I have the single disc of this film, which I found no more objectionable than any of the weaker entries in the series.
It's certainly better than Final Frontier, but nowhere near as good as the best. I'd put it on a level with Insurrection, as an enjoyable flick that's basically just like an extended episode of the show. Not the best way for the characters to bow out though. There wasn't enough closure at the end, unlike Undiscovered Country. Still, looks like a nice DVD set.

I liked all movies except V. It was really poorly scripted. But I love all TNG movies, especially FC. I'll get this to finish the collection. And for the DTS track. All the DTS tracks so far have been splendid!
Nice looking menu's. Too bad it's for such an aweful movie. I actually put it below Star Trek V as the worst one ever. Insurrection I actually put under Star Trek V too. At least Star Trek V had those memorable scenes when they were camping. Oh well, I gotta get this to complete my Star Trek collection. Then finally, I'm done with the movies.

I thought the movie was good, and was certanly better than Star Trek V.

I guess we know who the leak is then...

Nice to see a Star Trek disk with deleted Footage. I'll be picking this up even if it was only a "ok" movie.
Oh, Berman.
