[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Well, I've been thinking about the film for awhile, and it seems to me that it barely qualifies as a Star Trek film at all. Again, it's good, and well worth watching. But the plot is simply disconnected from the universe. Even the much maligned Insurrection had a plot that spun out from events in DS9. (The Federation is in trouble!) Here we get Romulans, but they could have been anyone, there's no internal Trek reasons for them to be acting the way they do, it doesn't flow from where they were at the end of the Dominion War, which gets namechecked in the film, but not in any meaningful way. I suspect shortchanging the political aspects was a conscious choice designed to make the film more appealing to the general public, and it may work. But I suppose I was hoping for something that felt a bit more like Star Trek VI, a highly political film and thus one of my personal favorites. (One could also make the more minor argument that most of the inspirational moments of the film were done before. Romulans swooping in to fight along side Starfleet? Been there. Romulans coming over to provide medical and other assistance? "Timescape." And yet I was totally swept up in each, so, as I said, this is just nitpicking.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
