Intriguing, Mon Capitaine

Oh my god! They’ve killed…
I know I know, Kenny from South Park is not in this movie but…

I have just bought the region 1 DVD of Nemesis and finished watching it for the first time of this movie. Hong Kong TV and cinemas never did have much interests in the Star Trek series. No wonder most Hong Kongers are so hopelessly poor trained in dealing with adverse situations like SARS.

I do not understand why the reviews have been so negative on this particular ST movie. Although it may not be the best TNG show of all time, and Nemesis does need more of lead-in story lines to better fulfill the plot, IMO it is the best ST movie so far.

That’s all I have to say for now, as I think, Tin, you ought to buy yourself a copy for your collection…. NOW.

    Folks these days have the attention span of about 5 seconds, refuse to watch any undubbed foreign films and have trouble reading subtitles, so I am not surprised that they are not interested in Star Trek.

    Trekkies are a hard bunch to please and face it Star Trek is a cult (as in not-mainstream). Make a movie that please trekkies, and the general public won’t grok it. Make one that would go down well with the general public, and you get trekkies swear at you.

    I am not a Trek collector, so I’ll just grab the VCD when (and if) they appear in the local VCD shop in Tuen Mun.

    “It’s only a god damn show.” As Captain Kirk said it himself.

    Tin, that was’t Kirk, that was the evil Kirk from the parallel universe who said that.
