Star Trek: Nemesis
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a critic rating of 38%, based on 162 reviews. This was the second-lowest rating, behind "", with an average rating of 5.2/10 with the site's consensus: ""Nemesis" has an interesting premise and some good action scenes, but the whole affair feels a bit tired." The film has earned a Metacritic score of 51 out of 100 based on 29 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" had mixed feelings about the film, stating, "I'm smiling like a good sport and trying to get with the dialogue ... and gradually it occurs to me that 'Star Trek' is over for me. I've been looking at these stories for half a lifetime, and, let's face it, they're out of gas." Ebert gave the film two out of four stars.
Mick LaSalle of the "San Francisco Chronicle" said that the film is a "rather harebrained story that's relieved to a degree only by some striking visual effects and by Patrick Stewart's outstanding presence as Picard". LaSalle complained that Stewart gave "integrity and wry stoicism to "Nemesis", but the movie [was] unworthy of him". Owen Gleiberman of "Entertainment Weekly" gave the film a positive review, commenting that the crew "indulge[s] the force of humanity over hardware in a way that George Lucas had forgotten." Gleiberman gave the film a "B-". Stephen Holden of "The New York Times" said that the film is a "klutzy affair whose warm, fuzzy heart emits intermittent bleats from the sleeve of its gleaming spacesuit". Holden praised the scenes where the "Enterprise" and the "Scimitar" ram into each other during the final battle.
