Star Trek: Nemesis

Okay so we're starting with a Star Wars: The Phantom Menace style senate meeting on a planet that looks like Naboo (Star Wars again) then leading into a wedding? This is actually what's happening? I just need to double check that George Lucas didn't write the screenplay and those who did don't touch the franchise again.
What the devil were they thinking? Weddings are always a bad idea in science fiction films - just ask Padme Amidala (see Star Wars again).
Maybe I'm being a little overly critical of the opening of the film, but it's that very stage of the film that can hook viewers in - and can just as easily lose them, like it almost did me.
Thankfully we move on quite quickly.

The earlier assassination at the Imperial Senate meeting between the Romulans and Remans becomes the first misson for the crew of the USS Enterprise-E (gee they go through a few Enterprises, especially this Next Gen bunch). Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) leads the crew on a diplomatic mission to the planet, but diplomacy soon ends with the discovery of a new, yet too familiar, foe.
It's not the greatest film in the series but it's not the worst (see Star Trek: Insurrection), but it's completely understandable why the Star Trek series was done away with after it.
The most impressive thing to come out of this movie is it was the second time Tom Hardy appeared in a future film (he debuted in Black Hawk Down). He goes all right in his role as the chief bad guy Shinzon, but the rest of the film isn't too special.
