- Toward the beginning of the film, when Lilly Sloane pointed to the sky and asked Zephram Cochrane about the newly arrived Borg ship, Zephram replied that it was the constellation Leo. Leo contains several bright objects and would be visible from northern Montana during evenings in April, which was when and where the story took place. The star system nearest to Leo is Wolf 359, the site of the Borg's first major incursion into Federation space after they abducted and forced Captain Picard's cooperation.

+ The film was released on November 22, 1996, the anniversary of the date that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and the characters land on Earth on April 4, 2063, the anniversary of the date that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.

- Continuity: When Picard destroys the Borg Queen's skull, his reflection can be seen to stand up, but in the next shot he is still kneeling.
798
+ Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After the destruction of the Borg sphere, Picard asks where the Borg were firing on, and Riker heads towards the Science station on his right to read the coordinates from the display. Just a moment after, he asks Lt. Hawk (who is at the helm) for the damage done on the surface. Hawk states that "long-range sensors are still off-line", but at that distance away from Earth, short-range sensors would have sufficed. Furthermore, Hawk shouldn't even be capable of reading long-range science sensors from the helm console, and even if he could, Riker is still next to the science station, with the science officer next to him, AND the information about the surface is still on the display, so there is no need to ask the helmsman for it.

885
- Star Trek's successor to Gene Roddenberry, Rick Berman, never allowed
886
- the poor reviews for STAR TREK: GENERATIONS to upset him; he had been
887
- given an 'obligation' to provide a transition film between the original
888
- cast's series, and his own 'Next Generation' films, and 'killing' James
889
- Kirk freed him to focus on the film he REALLY wanted to make, STAR
890
- TREK: FIRST CONTACT. And he created a classic, a film that for many
891
- fans has become the 'definitive' STAR TREK movie.<br/><br/>From the opening scenes, which re-introduce the 'Next Generation's'
892
- greatest villains, the Borg, finally achieving their long-time goal of
893
- attacking Earth, and literally tearing Starfleet to shreds, as Picard
894
- and the Enterprise are ordered to stand down (Picard had been
895
- 'assimilated' once by the cyborgs, and the success of his
896
- 'deprogramming' was in question), there was an intensity that 'Trek'
897
- films hadn't shown since THE WRATH OF KHAN. When Picard decides to
898
- disobey orders and go 'in Harm's Way', you nearly want to cheer!
899
- Turning the battle around, the Enterprise sees victory at hand...until
900
- they discover that the 'core' of the Borg mother ship has plunged into
901
- Earth's atmosphere, and gone back in time. As the crew glimpses a
902
- 'changed' Earth, with humanity totally assimilated by the Borg, they
903
- plunge after the mother ship, to prevent history from being rewritten.<br/><br/>Quite an opening scene!<br/><br/>The film breaks into two stories, each entertaining. In an era two
904
- hundred years earlier, with Earth reeling from internal wars that have
905
- devastated much of the planet, Picard realizes that the Borg is
906
- attempting to prevent warp drive creator Dr. Zefram Cochrane from ever
907
- completing his prototype spaceship, thus denying the galaxy to the
908
- human race, and leaving them defenseless against the Borg. As First
909
- Officer Riker and most of the series' regulars protect the feisty
910
- engineer (first introduced in the original 'Trek' TV series by hunky
911
- Glenn Corbett; in FIRST CONTACT, the role is played by James Cromwell,
912
- hawk-nosed, antisocial, and hooked on ancient Rock n' Roll music), Data
913
- and Picard must deal with the growing Borg infiltration and
914
- assimilation of the Enterprise, and the imperious Borg Queen (lovely
915
- Alice Krige), who seduces Data with a chance to become 'human'.<br/><br/>Jonathan Frakes proves an excellent director, balancing the action,
916
- comic, and dramatic elements with sensitivity and skill. While most of
917
- the series' regulars have little to do (a problem that would never be
918
- resolved in the 'Next Generation' films), Frakes still manages to give
919
- each a bit of on-screen time to at least remind fans that they are
920
- present, and he even manages to provide a brief but funny cameo by
921
- semi-regular fan favorite Dwight Schultz, as the terminally shy Lt.
922
- Reggie Barclay.<br/><br/>FIRST CONTACT has so many memorable moments that it is nearly
923
- impossible to pick a single favorite one out. Cochrane's use of
924
- Steppenwolf's 'Magic Carpet Ride' as launch music for his guided
925
- missile/spaceship...Alfre Woodard's Lily Sloane, hiding in terror from
926
- the Borg, but still able to lecture Picard on doing the 'right
927
- thing'...'Star Trek: Voyager' regular Robert Picardo in a cameo as his
928
- medical hologram character, at a key moment...Data delivering the
929
- famous Borg 'tag line'...the Vulcan science party (led, although
930
- unmentioned, by Sarek, Spock's father), bemused at meeting the 'new
931
- kids on the block' for the first time...this movie has it all!<br/><br/>There is only one major continuity error; the Borg, as cyborgs, depend
932
- on their human 'host' bodies to survive (a key factor in the film's
933
- climax), yet in one whole sequence they operate in the vacuum of space
934
- WITHOUT spacesuits! I cringe each time I see the scene, but I STILL
935
- love the movie!<br/><br/>One other key element of the film cannot be praised enough; Jerry
936
- Goldsmith's score is one of his finest, combining the best elements of
937
- the STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE theme with a sweeping inspirational
938
- hymn for Cochrane, and eerie, discordant music for the Borg. The score
939
- is so profoundly moving that it could stand alone, as a symphonic work.<br/><br/>Sadly, Berman and company never achieved the same heights with either
940
- of the subsequent 'Trek' films, but at least we have FIRST CONTACT, to
941
- show that a 'Next Generation' feature could be done 'right'.
885
+
886
+ Star Trek:First Contact is the best Star Trek film in my opinion. Far better
887
+ than the average Star Trek:Generations or any of the films featuring the
888
+ original crew.<br/><br/>I won't go into the plot too much because I hate spoiling it for fans and it
889
+ is easy sometimes to give away too much. Let's just say that the cast of The
890
+ Next Generation take on the inhuman Borg, one of the best race of Star Trek
891
+ villains ever.<br/><br/>There are no slow spots in this film. It is one big long action fest and
892
+ every character is utilized. There are some terrific scenes and there is
893
+ quite a bit of tension between the crew, particularly Worf and Picard.
894
+ Picard has some harsh words for Worf at one point in the film and it really
895
+ does look as though Worf will hit Picard. You could cut the tension in this
896
+ film with a knife.<br/><br/>I'd also like to mention the great job done by the beautiful Alice Krige as
897
+ the Borg Queen. Again, there is not a wasted moment in this film and Krige
898
+ does a brilliant job as the Borg Queen.<br/><br/>I strongly recommend Star Trek:First Contact-it is the type of film which
899
+ you finish watching and feel as though you have spent your money
900
+ well.<br/><br/>

- Composer <a href="/name/nm0204485/">Don Davis</a> thought it would be wasteful for the choir to be singing simple "ooohs" and "aaahs" during the climactic battle cue, "Neod�mmerung". He asked that the Wachowski Brothers (<a href="/name/nm0905152/">Andy Wachowski</a> and <a href="/name/nm0905154/">Larry Wachowski</a>) bring him some sort of text appropriate to the movie, which the choir would sing. They returned with extracts from the Upanisads which reflect the themes of the trilogy. The full lyrics of Neod�mmerung are available on Davis's website.

However, once the ship reached the gate, all pads, including the damaged rear pads, were shown to be fully functional.

- It is hard to believe that the original Matrix's philosophical subtlety
936
- came from the same authors of the two sequels.<br/><br/>It seems the brothers must have cribbed the original story for the
937
- first Matrix, since the last 2 show none of the original's subtlety or
938
- interest, just rehashing and CGI multiplication.<br/><br/>One evil robot, two evil robots, many many evil robots. Wow, what an
939
- idea, what creativity!<br/><br/>Viewing the behind-the-scenes on DVD disc 2, you can see the reasons
940
- for the incoherence of story and scenes - the huge fractured design
941
- team, numerous 'senior this' 'senior that', all contributing to some
942
- corporate creation lacking any inspiration. Maybe the corporate
943
- cube-farm culture works for making cars, but it doesn't seem to work for
944
- films.<br/><br/>I would have liked to have seen another level of reality exposed behind
945
- the mindless machines, and why are they so mindlessly evil when they
946
- can think up such a subtle ruse to enslave the humans? It isn't
947
- consistent. Why not introduce an alien ET culture who is really the
948
- master culture enslaving the machine culture by some similar
949
- hallucinatory ruse. Or, have the humans escape by transcending their
950
- bodies, as in all the traditional gnostic spiritualities.<br/><br/>All in all, the Matrix is just a retread of the movie TRON. TRON at
951
- least had some insight into what the machine mindset and motivation for
952
- domination might be, e.g. tyrannical game addiction, much like the
953
- decadent Roman emperors. The Matrix, after the first film, gives no
954
- thought to any subtle motivations of the machine culture, preferring
955
- the tired clich&eacute; of 'alien villain = mindless unrelenting violence'.

+ I found this better than the second Matrix film (&quot;Reloaded&quot;) but not
937
+ anywhere as intriguing as the first film. Perhaps they shouldn&#39;t have
938
+ made ANY sequels.<br/><br/>Once again you have the same problems: too much verbiage that you can&#39;t
939
+ make sense of, and too much violence. Regarding all the techno-talk,
940
+ what good is it if you audience doesn&#39;t understand what&#39;s going on and
941
+ are lost most of the time?<br/><br/>After awhile, frankly, especially with the unlikable lead characters, I
942
+ didn&#39;t care what happened. As I said in the second movie&#39;s review, they
943
+ should have made just one tremendous Matrix movie, even if it were an
944
+ hour longer. The sequels did nothing to enhance the legacy of that
945
+ film.
