Enterprise receives word from Starfleet that a coup has resulted in the installation of a new Romulan political leader, Shinzon, who claims to seek peace with the human-backed United Federation of Planets.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Has a delightfully nasty villain and pumped-up action, albeit along familiar lines. - 63
ReelViews
The venerable series is looking outmoded and outdated. Media saturation and age have taken their toll. - 63
Miami Herald
If anyone tries to tell you how this one ends, blast 'em with a phaser. Set on stun, of course. - 63
Boston Globe
Fails to match the philosophical and acting bounties of 1996's ''First Contact.'' Baird has seen to it that the Enterprise's being under fire still amounts to the crew rocking back and forth, gripping the railings as the ship's phasers are down to 4 percent. - 60
L.A. Weekly
Nemesis never feels true to itself, its energy never fully engaged. Even with Earth on the line in its climactic space battle, the film seems embarrassed that it couldn't have found a better way to work through its issues. - 40
Austin Chronicle
Nemesis, by comparison, is about as exciting as a Tribble on Vicodin. - 40
Dallas Observer
Plays like a greatest-hits remix; like "Die Another Day," it's bent on resurrecting a moribund franchise by recalling all the things you used to love about it till you grew into big-boy pants. - 38
New York Daily News
There comes a time when the future looks old, and that's where "Star Trek" finds itself on the time-space continuum.
