I like how they incorporated Worf into this movie. It made sense.

- Worf is on DS9 at this point.
- He's become captain of the Defiant and often takes it on missions.
- Borg come to Earth. What does starfleet do? Send one of its best ships to fight it.
- Borg attack Earth, Defiant attacks Borg.
- Enterprise comes in to help. Rescues Defiant crew.
- Worf comes to the bridge because he knows he can be helpful there.
- Worf is welcomed by his former crew.

Jonathan Frakes did a great job with this movie. I love how the script fits together.

I always read that looks as a simultaneous:

"Argh, the big bad E is going to come steal my thunder."

Coupled with:

"Damn, I'm glad the big bad E is going to come steal my thunder."

If you know what I mean.

@cyclopstb DS9 and Voyager were not primarily built for war, where as the Enterprise E was built specifically to fight the Borg . The uniforms in First Contact reflect a time when Starfleet went all out in their fight against the Borg so it has a more military look.

The Sisko

The TOS movies and First Contact/late DS9 era had by far the best uniforms. TNG and VOY uniforms look like pajamas lol

Just love how Capt. Picard is like I’m taking command of the fleet and no one questions it. Just shows how badass he is!!!

mark1878

2y↑193

He's the Captain of the Federation Flagship, and protocol is that commanders of ships are seniority ranked based on their ship tactical capabilities (quoting Janeway from USS Voyager, talking to the Captain of USS Equinox). Technically, Picard as Captain of the Federation Flagship outranks all other captains in Starfleet and the Enterprise would normally be a designated command ship, to all other ships, in any sector they are in. Picard is only outranked by Admirals, technically.

Worf's willingness to go kamikaze on the Borg is a good bit of writing. Naturally it's in Worf's character to do this, but also, for anyone who hasn't seen any TNG, it helps to set up a contrast with the moment later in the film when Picard calls him a coward. The audience has evidence that this can't be the case and that it's Picard's PTSD talking.

This movie has one of the best scenes of any Star Trek movie: when the Enterprise flies in front of the Defiant and you see the scale of the two ships. I remember people gasping in the audience at the movie theater when this movie came out. Truly an awesome shot.

I agree, Chris Peters! Every time I watch this movie or see this scene on YouTube I always wait for the grand entrance of Enterprise! Damn it's a big ship!! And I always think that Worf says "He just cut me off!" SPACE RAGE!!!!! You just don't cut off a Klingon!!!!!

I read somewhere that they exaggerated the size difference a bit.

GrieverSSBU

3y↑25

@youtert the Enterprise E is 700+ Meters long. That scale difference is fairly accurate I'd say. The Defiant isn't exactly a little ship since it has multiple decks but it isnt one of the Cruisers you normally see either. It's great to see a War Horse like the Defiant actually being in need of assistance though. Iirc there was a part in DS9 where the Defiant was used as a threat to destroy an entire planet. If THAT needs help you know the Borg aren't to be trifled with.

That was good, except realistically wouldn’t Sisko have been commanding the Defiant for a battle like that? He could then have beamed Worf ( who’d have been aboard) to the Enterprise, and taken the Defiant back to DS9.

Mantrecou !

2y↑2

@Alexander Jones It could be seen as too big a risk for a commander of a static emplacement like DS9 to go, and it would fall to their first officer/tactical officer or someone who volunteered to lead what might been seen as a suicide diversion (which would be in character for Worf). Most of the ships there seemed prepared to die so I interpret Worf being in command as a gesture that this was a fight to the death. Obviously Picard and plenty of other important Starfleet officers were there in danger but it's probably more appropriate as a Captain. Plus the emphasis on many of the smaller class ships being destroyed so easily paints the desperation of the group who was able to assemble to try and save Earth.

Pinnacle of space battle choreography – even the fact that the bridge crew of the Enterprise enters an active war zone without the main screen online (much like a submarine), thus relying on sensor data alone and that every subsystem operates as per predefined input-output procedures amazes me every time. The little “trldtldddd” chime when Riker receives the standby confirmation from the fleet is just the cherry on top :-)

EVA_Unit_4A

4y↑8

@April Banner
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unfortunately Jonathan Frakes may have [ignorantly?] joined the woke side a couple of months ago.
When ~~star tp~~ was getting thrashed in reviews, Frakes tried to stand up for the show (or more specifically his friend Patrick Stewart), citing typical "toxic fans" excuses. Up until that very moment, I thought Jonathan Frakes was one of the strongest pro-Roddenberry voices behind the camera, but most regrettably that is now in question. Considering Stewart had gone full woke before the show even aired, it's possible he [understandably] informed Frakes about the situation, and Frakes was simply defending his friend and his friend's newest show.

With both Amazon and Netflix having completely withdrawn from Secret Hideout's agenda, ~~star tp~~ may never get a second season unless a third international distributor comes along and gets suckered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9HARBq2mFw

Most of the star trek episodes directed by Frakes are awesome. He really understood star trek. They should never let Abrams touch it.

EVA_Unit_4A

@Adam Abbas
Well, don't forget that, when Paramount Pictures was deliberately attempting to branch off and create their own variant of Star Trek movie [because Les Moonves had (foolishly) separated them from CBS in the early-2000, which in turn kicked off the alternate license mess we are still dealing with today], Jonathan Frakes had already directed the mildly-received Clockstoppers (2002) as his first movie away from Star Trek. But, he had also chosen to not direct Star Trek Nemesis (2004) in favor of adapting Thunderbirds (2004) to the big screen... which rapidly became a box office flop, and was harshly rejected by classic Thunderbirds fans as well as original series co-creator Sylvia Anderson. So, by the time it came to shop for a new director to helm 2009's reboot, Frakes was considered damaged goods as far as directing movies, and probably wasn't even approached.

In fact, to this day Thunderbirds remains the last movie Frakes ever directed; it was that damaging to his career. Since 2004, Frakes has directed numerous documentaries and TV episodes and still does now (three from ~~std,~~ two from ~~star tp~~ including the one he guest starred in with Marina Sirtis, and two from The Orville ), but never another big-screen movie; Hollywood won't touch him for that role anymore.
(In his defense, Leonard Nimoy directed a number of movies outside of Star Trek, but also had just one flop in the theater that basically ended that part of his career, and he kept to directing TV episodes and documentaries afterwards.)

Always loved the throwback klingon theme. A magnificent scene. Well placed music and chemistry between the crew and warf. Love how the tactical crewman who just nailed the torpedo gets dismissed like he did nothing.

This whole scene is just pure sci-fi eye candy and it blew my mind when I saw it in theaters as a kid. You can feel the desperation going on and get the satisfaction of watching the Borg get their asses kicked. Easily one of my favorite space battle scenes of all time.

I love the moment when the Enterprise runs blocker for the Defiant. It was breathtaking to watch at the cinema on first release.

absolutely... although I always wondered how they managed to beam the Defiant's crew to the Enterprise... I can't imagine they lowered their shields for that, but I don't know if they were able to beam through raised shields either

I can't say how they did it...but if they did drop the shields momentarily it would have definitely been worth the risk to get Commander Worf back on the Enterprise :)

@Bad Ape Waz or maybe they found a way to drop only segments of the shields... keeping the dorsals up while lowering (part of) the ventrals, beaming through there?

Bad Ape Waz

@Joeri De Strijcker Quite possibly they could do that. After all...it is the 24th century...and it is the magnificent Enterprise E.

I remember seeing this at the cinemas with my dad, I was 11 and had really got into Star Trek the last couple years because of him.
I was totally blown away with this fight seen. Having seen the Defiant on DS9 being so badass then seeing it get its ass kicked. This seen was just amazing when you are 11. Still holds up now.

The scene gets better with each viewing. It's eerie how menacing the Borg are. Despite advanced warning, despite ships like the Defiant with new weapons specifically to combat them, one standard Borg cube is able to break through the defense perimeter IN A FEW SECONDS. Having said that, it's a testament of Starfleet's own ability to adapt and continue the battle, inflicting actual damage to the cube.

One of the best scifi movies ever. And the Borg one of the best villains ever. The fear and determination on the faces of the crew when they hear the Borg have been engaged. And the classic line of the borg, "Resistance is futile". One of the best threats ever.

One of the best Star Trek movies ever and that scene produces the chills today as it did the first time. It's not only that the Enterprise saved the battle, it was Picard's redemption and vengeance after so many years of suffering the borg since the first time Q had the great idea to "introduce" them to the Federation.

That happens in three out of 13 movies.

@Sonar Bandit Productions Since that first happened almost 40 years ago in Star Trek III, you don't have much company there.

A perfect action sequence, expertly executed by industrial light and magic, and using actual ship models to boot (for what I believe is the last time in a Star Trek movie, 9 and 10 both used computer generated imagery).

The Borg battle itself could've been an entire movie. The battle was fought in waves where older Starfleet ships engaged the cube first and each wave would progress to newer tech, that's why at the end more modern ships were in the fight. The Defiant was in the fight since the start of the battle and most of the battle was a running fight at warp. That's why at this part of the movie the Defiant is beat up so much. The Enterprise showed up at the very end of the fight as we see in the this part of the movie.

I love the relationship between Worff and Riker. The banter, the knowing looks etc. It’s clear that they have great respect for each other. Riker has seen what Worff can do and Worff knows that Riker held his own on a Klingon warship during an exchange visit. No mean feat for a human!!

These scenes are what the movies did well, and interestingly enough were largely captured by another series some years later (Mass Effect). Picard is at the top of his game here, and you can see everything that made him a good Captain on the show. His introspection, the respect he has for his crew and the trust they have in him, and his willingness to defy orders and lead when he feels it is necessary. This was Picard from TNG distilled, I only wish some of this had rubbed off on everything that came after.

morro190

If your referring to Picard, i can understand your pain. It's not remotely like TNG in plot or pacing, and it feels rushed in places too. And while by the end of the show I liked most of the the characters, they are also undeveloped. However it got the parts that truly matter to me perfectly right and that was everything involving Picard himself. He's an old man who put his faith in the federation, got his heart broken, and for 20 years let it make him hide from the world. He has neglected his relationships and has to face the consequences of that when he needs help. But when the time comes, he is the man that everyone needs him to be and age is no obstacle to that. He doesn't say "We should be better." but instead "We must be better." He demands virtue in everyone and he rejects self service and ego. He reminds everyone that it doesn't matter who you like or what you believe, you have intrinsic value and are worth saving. Im hoping the second season fleshes the characters/plot/universe better. but as long as Picard is Picard (the character, not the show), I am happy.

I wouldn't call any of the Next Gen movies good Star Trek movies, but this one is by far the best one as just a movie. That shot of the assimilated Earth is pretty chilling. You can see what look like massive roads/bridges connecting hundreds and hundreds of miles across the ocean.

Poe Lemic

One of the best Star Trek movies ever. I loved all of them, but I found this one particularly enjoyable.

Hammy Hog

I think this was the best outing for the next generation crew and it does compare favorably with the original cast movies. I still do absolutely love the Defiant class star ship or more specifically the prototype before it's untimely demise at the hands of the Breen during the Dominion War.

It’s chilling just thinking how close humanity got to being wiped out right there. If Picard hadnt ordered pursuit of the escape pod immediatley, that would have been it. If they just wouldve veered slightly off course and ended up outside the temporal wake, that would have been it, humanity gone, forever. Imagine beeing there on that ship and staring down at Earth and seen it fundamentaly transformed into something truly alien in just a few seconds. Realising what the enemy have done, how crazy advanced they are. And then coming to terms with what must be done. You and your crew is humanitys last hope. You have to step up to this technologically superior foe, this nightmare of an enemy or mankind is finished forever. Swear to god this is the most thrilling set up for a movie ever!

My favourite thing about this scene is at 2.05 it is made very clear that the Borg are not having a good time, that this is no Wolf 359, and that one of the weapons built to defeat them - the Defiant - is doing her job very well. Starfleet ... has adapted.
