Star Trek: First Contact
Over 550 million dollars have been earned to-date from the past collective “Star Trek” movies. …“First Contact” is well on its way to supplying its own hefty portion of money as sci-fi fans rush to the theaters to see the eighth film in this series.
First-time director Jonathan Frakes (“Number One”) delivers an excellent package noble enough to take teens to, and timeless enough to not leave any non-trekkies “in the dark.” Some of the only downfalls of this film was the slight bit of profanity, violence, mild sensuality, and pro-evolutionary themes.
So who is the villain that must be stopped from taking over humankind? None other than Capt. Jean-Luc Picard’s most hideous nemesis, the Borg. This collective organism, half-organic and half-machine, is bent on assimilating all known life forms into becoming “perfect,” as they believe they are. Humans in the 24th century have a “nobler” task: to better all of humanity, hitting on some mild evolutionary themes in the process. The Borg race lives together in a hive like culture, adapting almost instantaneously to any circumstance they are faced with.
Directly disobeying Starfleet Command, Picard steers the Enterprise into joining the intense battle as the Borg initiates an attack on the Federation. Natu
