 Tim Lynch's Review of "Star Trek: First Contact."
When Worf insists that the auto- destruct is the best idea and that Picard is letting his past cloud his judgment, Picard calls Worf a coward and orders him off the bridge.
Two years ago, when "Star Trek: Generations" premiered, I was beginning to harbor serious doubts about Trek as a franchise.
In the early scenes with Worf, he re-used the Klingon theme from "Star Trek: the Motion Picture" to good effect, and one of the early shots of the battle on the hull included a riff that sounded suspiciously like the early notes of "Also Sprach Zarathustra", of "2001: A Space Odyssey" fame.

In June of 1999, the very first batch of sci-fi news I ever reported in my somewhat professional sci-fi journalism career was about "Star Trek" and how there wasn't going to be another movie for awhile.
The "Even-Numbered Treks Are The Good Ones" rule holds true here, if by the word "good," you mean "better than the odd-numbered ones." It's not bad like I dreaded it would be; but it's not good like I wanted it to be, either.
