This is one of my favorite star trek movies but some things you should know. The film seems to have a more military feel to it than the previous films. There is a good deal of violence such as ray gun fights and space battles, in one scene a device emits a ray that cause a room full of people to crumble and disintegrate. The vilian gradually mutates due to a disese and at the end the villian gets impaled on a jagged pipe, pulls himself along the pipe and dies. In another scene a charecter is telepathically attacked. Besides this this, the acting, score, and story are excellent. Nemesis is a must-see for any Star Trek fan.

What Parents Need to Know
About Star Trek: Nemesis
Parents need to know that this film contains some violence, most of it sci-fi oriented. Lots of laser beam shooting occurs, almost all of it bloodless. The villain cuts his hand at one point and gives the bloody knife to Data. The beginning contains a rather intense and scary sequence in which a Romulan places a disk in the senate which lets out "spores" that land on the Romulans. These "spores" make the aliens begin to wither away, and then turn them to stone. One then crashes on the floor. There is also a quite surprising and graphic love scene in which two senior officers who have recently married begin to sleep together. During the scene, Commander Troy begins to see Shinzon instead of her husband, and struggles to get him away from her.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the many positive messages in the film. "Star Trek" has always been about gaining peace, and unlike many movies now, one gets the sense the crew does try to use the least amount of violence necessary to accomplish this mission. Parents may want to discuss why this is, and point out Picard's constant reluctance to fight. Parents also should discuss the idea of forgiveness preached in the film. Why does it bother Picard so that this clone reminds him of his former self? Another discussion topic may be how we deal with loss, since a major character does meet his end in this film. Why do Picard and his crew toast their fallen comrade and hide their grief?

I thought this movie was too violent for a PG-13 rating. While there weren’t very many violent scenes, the few that were there were pretty gory. In one scene, a roomful of people are exposed to weapon that instantly dehydrates them. And another scene shows a character impaled on a metal rod, and then he pulls the rod deeper into his chest. It may not be violent enough for an R rating, but I wouldn’t show it to anyone under 16.

The evan/odd theory continues to work
Star Trek: Nemesis is the 10th instalment of the Star Trek film series and as a small time Treker I can honostly say I was impressed. It had some great action anda fine plot as well. My only beef is that parts of it seem overly similer to Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan.
