The Best of the "New Generation Star Trek Films - Star Trek: First Contact review by GI

Spoiler Alert
04/02/2026

A fantastic science fiction adventure film and the one 'New Generation' movie that is really gripping and interesting. Here the most iconic malevolent alien species since the Alien series, The Borg, arrives to create an existential risk to humanity. The Borg (sort of like alien zombies in many ways) launch an attack on Earth and only Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) knows the best way to defeat them. But at the final moment the Borg escape into the past and attempt to attack Earth in the mid 21st century at a key moment in human history. Picard and crew travel back in time to thwart them. The story is really clever here and whilst Star Trek has used time travel as a plot device before this time it's into the past but still our actual future, namely 2063. What happens in that year is pivotal to the future of mankind and this opens up a two pronged story that is quite enthralling. There's plenty of action, a scary baddie and support from James Cromwell as a 21st century scientist. Patrick Stewart handles the action scenes really well and there's humour in characters first encounter with aliens! A great and highly entertaining sci-fi film and one I highly recommend.
