Amazon.co.uk Review
Even-numbered Star Trek movies tend to be better, and this one (number eight in the popular series) is no exception--an intelligently handled plot involving the galaxy-conquering Borg and their attempt to invade Earth's past, alter history, and "assimilate" the entire human race. Time travel, a dazzling new Enterprise, and capable direction by Next Generation alumnus Jonathan Frakes makes this one rank with the best of the bunch. Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his able crew travel back in time to Earth in the year 2063, where they hope to ensure that the inventor of warp drive (played by James Cromwell) will successfully carry out his pioneering warp-drive flight and precipitate Earth's "first contact" with an alien race. A seductive Borg queen (Alice Krige) holds Lt. Data (Brent Spiner) hostage in an effort to sabotage the Federation's preservation of history, and the captive android finds himself tempted by the queen's tantalising sins of the flesh. Sharply conceived to fit snugly into the burgeoning Star Trek chronology, First Contact leads to a surprise revelation that marks an important historical chapter in the ongoing mission "to boldly go where no one has gone before". --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis
The Borg have once again targeted the Federation; this time, their devious plot threatens not only the present, but Earth's past as well. While Commander Riker, Deanna Troi, and Geordi La Forge work hard on the surface of 21st-century Earth to keep history on schedule, the rest of the crew plays a desperate game with the genetically-networked attackers above the planet, matching former Locutus Jean-Luc and cybernetically-naive Data against the erotic, mechanized cunning of the Borg queen. Resistance is futile. Academy Awards nominations: 1--Best Makeup.

Easily the best star Trek movie
The first film with 'the Borg' as the main villians and its about time. Without a doubt, this is by far the best film of the franchise. More Star Trek movies should be made like this. This is a film for everyone, whether you are a Star Trek fan or not .... and that is a first. Upto now, some Star Trek movies were decent, some were poor. But this film is head and shoulders above anything else the franchise has had to offer.

Patrik Steward as Captain Steward really comes into his own in this movie. You really feel for his characters obcession with defeating 'the Borg'. In this film you see something that is rarely seen .... Pickard losing his composure and showing a more human, obcessive and destructive side. The rest of the cast also turn in comendable performances.

Great Stuff.

THE BORG ARE BACK
This has got tobe the best of the four films that the next gen made.the film kicks off with capt Picard dreaming he was on board the borg ship,from then on it's good vs bad, it's that good even Data has a very good one liner in one part of the film.

Best Star Trek film
in my view this is probably the best of all the star trek films to date, though the borg are probably the best enemy ever developed in the star trek series so this helps !
