directed by Stuart Baird
, written by John Logan
(from a story developed by Logan, Brent Spiner
, and producer Rick Berman
), and with music composed by Jerry Goldsmith
. It is the tenth feature film in the Star Trek
franchise, and the fourth and final film to star the cast from the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation
. It follows the mission of the crew of the USS Enterprise-E as they are forced to deal with a threat to the United Federation of Planets
from a Reman
clone of Captain Picard named Shinzon who has taken control of the Romulan Star Empire in a coup
.
Nemesis acted as a swan song for The Next Generation cast, as could be seen from the film's tagline of "A generation's final journey begins".
[Picard toasts Riker and Troi] Will Riker, you have been my trusted right arm for fifteen years. You have kept my course true and steady. Deanna Troi, you've been my guide and my conscience. You have helped me recognize the better parts of myself. You are my family. And in best maritime tradition, I wish you both clear horizons. My good friends... make it so.
[while being shot at during a car chase] I think it's time to try some unsafe velocities!
[near a replicator] Tea, Earl Grey, hot.
[seeing the Scimitar (Star Trek)|Scimitar for the first time. With awe] She's a predator...
If there is one ideal that the Federation holds most dear it is that all men... all races can be united. What better example than a Starfleet captain standing in the Romulan Senate. Nothing would make me more proud than to take your hand in friendship... in time... when that trust has been earned.
[voiceover] Captain's Personal Log. The crew has responded with the dedication I've come to expect of them... And like a thousand other commanders on a thousand other battlefields, I wait for the dawn.
I will always be puzzled by the human predilection for piloting vehicles at unsafe velocities.
[last word] Good-bye.
[to Donatra] If you ever touch me again... I'll kill you.
Tea, hot.
