Reviews


88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Certainly the best in its technical credits, and among the best in the ingenuity of its plot.
80
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
First Contact, written by Ric Berman, Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore, pulsates with great imagination, amusing characters and the fundamental optimism handed down by "Star Trek" founder Gene Roddenberry.
80
Chicago Reader - Lisa Alspector
The script by Brannon Braga and Ronald Moore provides all the background necessary for viewers unfamiliar with the characters' previous movie and TV-series exploits, but not so much as to annoy fans.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
First time director Jonathan Frakes (who also plays Riker, the Enterprise's second-in-command) injects some badly-needed energy and inventiveness into a series that, prior to this effort, was sinking under its own weight and boldly going nowhere.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
The fine quality of the new film is good news for anyone disappointed by "Star Trek Generations," which got the new "Star Trek" feature film series off to a shaky start two years ago.
