Finished the 'original' film run last night with Nemesis. I think it's slightly better then Insurrection, but both are pretty dull. In fact most of Next Gen stuff is dull. Even First Contact which is generally pretty decent, the characters apart form Picard and Data are just boring and interchangeable.
The space battles in Nemesis and Insurrection are more flashy, but ultimately a bit boring. The much slower battle in Khan was way more exciting. Enterprise ramming the Scimitar was cool - but why didn't they just ram them again after the Scimitar pulled back? Data's leap through space had potential too, but was badly edited. Even the whole idea of Data and Picard having these mirror images had potential - but they were just both completely plucked out of nowhere. On what planet did they think this would be a fitting conclusion to Next Generation? And it would've been really great to see Picard lose it when Data is killed. Turn around and fling the transporter button thing at the wall or something. Both Insurrection and Nemesis just seemed completely inconsequential. About as inconsequential as Kirk dying to save the population of a planet we never see...
