Out of all the star trek movies including Kirk's movies, this movie is the best one. It easily has the most action out of all the movies.... Full review

I thought the bit about Zephram Cochrane was good, as was the Borg travelling back in time to attempt to thwart the 'first contact' situation with the Vulcans after Zephram's first warp flight in space. Don't like how Hollywood decided to... Full review

This movie was perfect. The Enterprise battling the Borg. Wow I was amazed. A never been seen Borg queen. I liked seeing James Cromwell who played Zefram Cochrane who was actually funny and the EMH was also in Star Trek Voyager... Full review

STAR TREK films are very hard to make without them being some geek sci-fi show without anything to them. I do agree that THE WRATH OF KHAN is a classic becuase it stuck to us to have formidable foe. But FIRST... Full review

AAAHHH!!! The Borg! Their single goal is to eliminate individuality and assimilate the entire human race, not to mention every other species. So what does this have to do with First Contact? Apparently, after World War III, a guy has come... Full review

This was the best star trek movie since the wrath of Kahn!! First of all, the special effects were amazing, as well as the costumes the borg characters wore. Incorporating the invention of the warp drive engine and the man who... Full review

Maybe it is true that "Star Trek" has given us some of the best and worst movies ever in it's long running reign as king of Sci-Fi. But this one has got to be about the best of the whole lot.... Full review

What could have been an amazing special effects blowout between the Enterprise and the Borg turned into 30 seconds of drama in the first 5 minutes of the film. No doubt Star Trek fans were waiting to see a big budget... Full review

One of the most interesting things about First Contact is the way that Cochrane is handled.....Now, as followers of this series will recall, I initially questioned where the war-prone Klingons fit into the purported utopian vision of Star Trek (my concerns have since been assuaged).....Woodard is excellent in portraying a woman who's tough, smart, and completely baffled by this strange turn of events.....First Contact benefits greatly from fine work by Cromwell, Woodard, and Krige, as well as a distinctive ...

Even though that episode took place in an alternate reality, they had the balls to kill one of the main characters, something they failed to do with another key character in the finale.
It had boring storylines and silly character arcs.

Yet "First Contact" is often great fun and is never less than watchable;....There's a slightly desperate feeling in "First Contact's" patched-together script....Ultimately, Berman and director/actor Jonathan Frakes (who also appears as Cmdr. William Riker) remain reliable company men who have delivered a risk-free film that will play well on video..... ... Full Review

the movie is excellent
The humor is usually well fitted with the action and story, however the writers tend to turn Zephron Cochrane, creator of the warp drive and the man who made "first contact" with the Vulcans, into a slapstick type of character who seems to be there just to get some laughs and keep the plot going.
