10th 'Trek' journey ends with whimper
By BEN NUCKOLS

If "Star Trek: Nemesis" is "a generation's final journey," as it's billed, Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and crew are going out with a whimper in the dark.
The 10th entry in the "Star Trek" movie franchise, and the third in which Picard (Patrick Stewart) has flown solo, is the dullest and drabbest of the lot. Simply plotted and feebly directed, it lacks the vigorous action that elevated Capt. Kirk's adventures into pulp art or the thorny ethical dilemmas that gave the "Next Generation" TV series its resonances.

 Director: Stuart Baird Cast: Patrick Stewart, Tom Hardy, Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden Rating: PG-13, for sci-fi action violence and peril and a scene of sexual content Running time: 117 minutes |
