Is Abrams Trek a remake of Nemesis?

[RobertScorpio]

Nemesis is a rubbish Star Trek film was very disappointed in it

^^ but the bluray disc makes a great frisbee!!!

Let's see:

- Both have a car chase ending in a leap over a desert canyon
- Both double a key character
- Both involve villains from the fringes of Romulan society on a massive ship
- Both villains intend to blow up Earth out of an ill-defined sense of revenge
- Both very prominently star Wil Wheaton
- Both have a cameo from an elder statesperson from a prior Trek series
- Both feature many more stylistic camera and effects flourishes than previous movies and series
- Both introduce a new warp effect

... "not my father's Star Trek", my arse! Still, a lot more fun than Nemesis.

Bah, nothing more then ''Circumstantial''
Evidence.

It's more of a rehash of Star Wars, without the actual character building bits.

I hate to agree with that.

Ayel to me was pretty much Shinzon.

Only hotter and less emo. Although I prefer Shinzon's accent-free NRP-English.

Nemesis or XI? That fits them both pretty well.

There are similarities, yeah. Nero and Shinzon give me a similar vibe.

A familiar character dies with unsatisfying impact.

which character?

It's more of a remake of TWOK than Nemesis, IMO. With Nero in the role of Khan and the Red Matter subbing for the Genesis device.

Yeh Nemesis was just trying to be TWOK.

Oh, and that blatant rip off of Insurrection, where they throw the warp core into a... lightning stormy looking thing... to escape.

I think he's talking about Amanda.
