This film goes against everything that made STTNG a success.
How to ruin Star Trek The Next Generation.
Firstly,ditch ILM despite all the good work that they did with the special effects of six other Star Trek film.
Secondly,make a mean spirited film where the cast are absolutely helpless against the opposition-Troi is helpless,Data is helpless,Picard loses a fight with a dying man,even the Enterprise is helpless. What was the point?
Thirdly,have a villian that is pathetic rather than villianous- Shinzon is a frustated virgin that perves on Troi and wants to rape her. THIS is Rick Berman's idea of a great villian?
Fourthly,make a Romulan film that isn't really about the Romulans. How dumb was that?
Fifth,have a pointless battle where the Enterprise's weapons have all the impact of raindrops on a window pane- splat,splat,splat,thereby making the "battle" pointless.
Sixth-have a clone of Picard that looks nothing like him,laughable stuff really.
Seventh-have the Enterprise run out of ammo after just one battle.This ship is supposed to have 250 photon torpedeos.
Eighth-Kill off Data without giving him a decent goodbye scene(as ST2 did with Spock).
Let me point out how dumb this movie's plot is-if it really is that easy to beam aboard an enemy ship,then why not just leave a bomb there?
When Rick Berman decided to remake ST2,he should have realised that ST2 refilmed it's ending to make it warmer and offer some hope. ST:Nemesis does not refilm and so has a cold and flat ending,a finale with no hope or charm. Data blown to bits,the end(a huge mistake).
Star Trek fans are still there,we just want a decent story with ILM doing the effects again.
