Synopsis
While passing near the Romulan Neutral Zone, the Enterprise-E picks up an unusual energy signal. The crew investigates, and finds dismantled pieces of an android that looks just like Data. But before the crew has time to determine its origins, they receive a priority message from Starfleet’s Admiral Janeway: There’s been an internal political shakeup on Romulus, and the new leader, Praetor Shinzon, has asked that a Federation ship visit to talk peace. When they get there, the crew discovers that, surprisingly, Shinzon is not Romulan. He’s from Romulus’s sister planet, Remus—but he’s not a Reman either. He’s a human clone of Captain Picard, the vestige of a failed Romulan plot to infiltrate Starfleet. All that’s in the past, Shinzon swears. Today he’s only interested in leading both the Romulans and the Remans down a path of peace with the Federation. But not all—in fact not much—is as it seems.
Review
Other than Patrick Stewart's stellar portrayal of Captain Picard, 'Nemesis' is a sign pointing to the so-called 'franchise fatigue', a condition where new story runs out of originality and the universe receives limited opportunity for expansion. Since not much is going on in the story department, 'Nemesis' sees a very young Tom Hardy playing a renegade Romulan enemy. While there's no shortage of action sequences and a death in the family at the end, these may be the only highlights of the Next Generation's final voyage
