[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] Well, I finally saw the movie last weekend with my dad while I was on vacation in Florida. We both liked the film, but of course I'd be remiss if I didn't point out some nitpicks (major spoilers ahead). $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ I was going to talk about the pointlessness of the whole Kolarus dune buggy & chase scene, but Aban beat me to it. And as far as the whole B4 thing is concerned, I didn't have a problem with B4's existance as much as I had a problem with the whole, "since he looks exactly like Data, we can kill Data off yet still have Data alive at the end of the movie." Sorry, John Logan, but when Data died in the Scimitar explosion, AFAIAC, he died for good. No moronic, off-key singing android duplicate is going to replace him. [b]Shinzon, the Remans, & the Romulans:[/b] Shinzon considers himself a Reman, right? Shinzon hates the Romulans, right? Yet his whole reason for releasing the thalaron radiation on Earth is so that the Romulans can invade the Federation. Never mind that the Federation will hardly be crippled by Earth's destruction, his plan doesn't fundamentally make sense. It might have been different if Shinzon told the Romulans he was going to do this for them, but then used his weapon on Romulus instead. But he did want to destroy Earth. Why? Because it's Picard's home planet? What does Shinzon have against the Federation? And how will any of this help the Remans? If the Romulans conquered the Federation, wouldn't that make the Remans even more of an underling race to them? If Shinzon hated the Romulans as much as was evident in the movie, then he should have subjugated them with his weapon, declared himself and the Remans as the new rulers of Romulus, and then make real peace with the Federation so that at the least, he could contact Picard & ask him for help in stopping the genetic resequencing causing his dying. But instead, he acted like an idiot, got himself killed, and did absolutely nothing for the Remans. Plus, I had no credible sympathy for the Remans as a slave race whatsoever. It was also annoying that it was never made clear if the Remans were of Vulcan descent or an actual race native to Remus. [/QB][/QUOTE]
