Insurrection vs Nemesis

[TheGodBen]

For people that watched Nemesis and Insurrection and found Nemesis to be superior...

I just wonder if you guys have recently watched Wrath of Khan. Because it seems like you haven't. How you can vote a cheap, badly worked imitation of a far superior film better than just something that was bad but not a bad imitation of a previous Trek film....is just beyond me.

Nemesis disgusted me that they had the gall to think people wouldn't recognize how badly it stole from Khan.

Nemesis was bigger in scope and had a few good scenes. Insurrection had precisely one good scene and sometimes the dialogue was so bad it made me want to jam a fork in my ears.

Neither one is near the Wrath of Khan level, but Nemesis is just more entertaining for me.

Wellllllllll, maybe for you, drinking man Sisko

I applaud bad results from a decent original idea over a poorly done remake of an idea.

Heh, good answer

Insurrection just didn't work for me. Neither did Nemesis, but s clicked more than Insurrection. And I actually think Brady's ending is a lot better and would have saved that scene.

Even a bit of dialogue from Data before he went over would have made that better. An emotional moment where he proclaims that he can't let the captain fight alone, maybe finishing with "...and Riker didn't write this film, so I'll be the hero. See ya!"

The plot of Nemesis didn't bother me as much, the resemblances to Khan aren't as Khanish as people make out the space battle for example is a similar setting, different situation/results. I feel the biggest weakness was the director who just seems to miss the mark on the characters. Not a critisism based on comments in the thread, but more what's been said by him in interviews. I think one of them is on the DVD...

I watched Insurrection recently and just couldn't get into it at all. The story still felt weak and I don't buy Picard going all Bruce Willis.

I haven't seen NEM in a while. Did anyone mention in the film that the Romulan's got Picard's DNA when he & Data went to Romulus in Unification I/II? Just curious.
